PRIORITY-PLEX® ALUMINUM XHHW-2 CABLE

Priority Plex® is a proprietary manufacturing solution designed to revolutionize the way wire is pulled on large-scale projects. Rather than managing multiple reels and manual setups, Priority Plex provides a factory-twisted (plex'd) assembly of aluminum XHHW-2 conductors on a single reel, allowing for a synchronized pull that dramatically reduces labor overhead.

PRIORITY-PLEX® ALUMINUM XHHW-2 CABLE

PRIORITY-PLEX® is a proprietary engineered solution where multiple Aluminum XHHW-2 conductors are paralleled—and optionally plexed (interlocked)—at the factory onto a single delivery reel. This eliminates the need for contractors to set up multiple reel stands or manually parallel wire on the job site. Built with high-grade 8000-series aluminum and protected by a "slick" cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, this assembly allows for a synchronized, single-reel pull. By moving the complexity of the setup from the field to a controlled manufacturing environment, Priority enables faster, safer, and more profitable installations for large-scale commercial and industrial feeders.

Setup Efficiency: Because the cable is pre-paralleled at the factory, your setup time is reduced to a single reel stand. This not only saves labor but significantly reduces the risk of "cross-over" tangles that can occur when pulling from multiple independent reels.

Conduit Sizing: Because PRIORITY-PLEX® conductors are tightly nested during the manufacturing process, they often occupy a smaller cross-sectional area than wires paralleled in the field. This can provide extra "breathing room" in conduit runs near the maximum fill capacity.


Key Features
  • Factory Paralleling: Multiple conductors (Phases, Neutrals, and Grounds) are twisted together and wound onto a single reel with synchronized tension to ensure an even pull.
  • 8000 Series Aluminum Alloy: Provides the electrical performance of copper with a significant reduction in weight and material cost.
  • Slick-Rated XLPE Insulation: The thermoset insulation is manufactured with a low-friction surface, often eliminating the need for pulling lubricants.
  • 90°C Wet/Dry Rating: XHHW-2 conductors provide superior thermal stability and moisture resistance compared to standard PVC-based wires.
  • Custom Color Coding: Manufactured with full-color jackets (black, red, blue, white - brown, orange, yellow, gray) to meet NEC phase identification requirements without manual taping.
  • Reduced Footprint: Using one reel instead of four or five frees up massive amounts of space in crowded electrical rooms and staging areas.
  • Laser-Printed Sequential Footage: The jacket of every conductor is laser-marked with sequential footage. This allows installers to see exactly how much wire has been pulled into the conduit and exactly how much remains on the reel, preventing "short-pull" disasters.
Common Applications
  • Commercial Building Feeders: The standard for routing power from main switchboards to sub-panels in high-rise offices and retail centers.
  • Data Center Infrastructure: Ideal for the high-density, high-amperage power runs required for server hall distribution.
  • Renewable Energy Projects: Used extensively in solar and wind farms for connecting combiner boxes to inverters.
  • Industrial Plants: Reliable power distribution for manufacturing facilities, refineries, and water treatment plants.
  • Multi-Family Residential: Providing cost-effective service entrances and main feeders for large apartment complexes.
  • EV Charging Infrastructure: With the massive rollout of Level 2 and Level 3 fast chargers, PRIORITY-PLEX® is used to run the heavy feeders from the utility transformer to the charging pedestals, allowing for rapid deployment across large parking lots.
  • Hospital & Healthcare Facilities: Because the XLPE insulation is rugged and the "Plex" setup requires a smaller staging footprint, it is ideal for hospital expansions where installers must work in tight, clean environments without the mess of excessive pulling lubricants or multiple bulky reel stands.
