Where To Buy Your Stock Of Submersible Cable?

Clearly, the intended application (e.g. well water pump versus irrigation drain) determines which cable to buy, and where to source it from. However, it is also imperative that the cable manufacturer considers other factors in their submersible cable specification, including:

• Environmental conditions, including humidity, heat, acidity levels, pressure – all of which may impact the performance of the cable
• The need for cable flexibility in the installed application
• Voltage requirements of the target machinery or equipment
• Types of materials used for insulation in the cable
• The type of cable required for the application, for instance, submersible flat cable or a rounded submerged cable
• Requirements for specific standards and certification of the cable manufacturer or the cable design

Last, but not least, when sourcing cables and wires, submersible pump cable price plays a very important role. However, do not make pricing the main determination factor when you set out to buy your stock of cables. While the price is very important, a “cheap” cable that does not conform to many of the other specification requirements listed above, might not be such a good buy.

Choose your submersible cable supplier with care. Because these wires and cables support highly sensitive and mission critical applications, buying your stock from relatively unknown suppliers may compromise your project.
