Kwena anti-theft earthing cable
Kwena anti theft cable consists of : Composite of steel wire and copper.
The ever increasing loss of copper cables throughout Southern Africa and the Far East has led LLT to carry out numerous stringent tests on its anti-theft earthing conductor cables to prove its effectiveness and quality.
The ani-theft cable has been tries and tested and was patented in 1994.
The construction of anti-theft makes it uneconomical for bucket shops to recover the copper. The complex weave and steel wires embedded in the cable damages cropping machines situated in bucket shops. Thieves are therefore learning that there is no advantages to stealing this cable as there is no demand.
The cable has a distinct appearance that has become recognizable by thieves and scrap dealers. The diameter of the anti-theft cable is slightly larger than its conventional copper equivalent due to the complexity of the make-up.
The ‘anti-theft’ earthing strap was developed and patented.

Earthing & Bonding Conductor
ANTI-THEFT conductor cable is a composite stranded cable made up of tinned copper wires and galvanised steel wires that are braided-interwoven to form the cable.
ANTI-THEFT can be used as earth bonding cable or jumper bonds where earth tails are above ground, visible and open to easy theft. The complex braided and interwoven wires of steel and copper make it very difficult to separate and is unattractive and uneconomical to copper thieves and scrap dealers.
ANTI-THEFT is available in “bare” or “insulated” in black or clear.
ANTI-THEFT has been tested by the SABS and Gerotek Test Facilities for electrical properties.
Example: 70mm2 copper cable equivalent KWENA is “70”.
Drum length Approximately 290m. Short lengths available on request and depending on stock availability.

Earthing & Bonding Conductor – Composite
COMPOSITE conductor cable is a composite stranded cable made up of tinned copper wires and galvanised steel wires that are rope layered to form the cable.
COMPOSITE applications and benefits are the same.
COMPOSITE is available in “bare” or “insulated” in black or clear.
