SER Service Entrance Cable

SER Service Entrance Cable

Service entrance cable for utility-to-building connections.

SER Service Entrance Cable supports service entrance cable routes where conductor arrangement, neutral/ground configuration and UL service cable requirements must be checked.

  • Key Technical Points:
  • Service entrance cable selection should confirm SER, SEU or feeder route before quotation.
  • Neutral, grounding conductor and conductor arrangement should match the local code route.
  • Copper, aluminum or 8000 alloy conductor choice affects termination and project cost.
  • UL and ASTM references should be checked against the requested market documentation.
  • Product Overview

    SER Service Entrance Cable should be selected according to the actual project route, not by product name alone. Before quotation, review wire type, conductor material, temperature rating, wet/dry location rating and local electrical code route. Datasheet wording, compliance documents and final supply notes should stay aligned with the selected standard and installation conditions.

    Applications

    • service entrance and utility-to-building connection routes
    • panel feeder or sub-panel feeder applications where cable assembly is specified
    • residential and light commercial service cable projects
    • projects requiring neutral, grounding and conductor arrangement review

    Construction

    copper or aluminum conductor with insulation and jacket system according to building wire type. Final conductor size, temperature rating, wet/dry location rating and neutral, grounding and service entrance configuration should follow the selected code route.

    Marking on Cable

    FARWALK CABLE – SER Service Entrance Cable – [standard] – [size] – [rating] – [year] – [meter mark]

    Cable Identification

    • Insulation color, conductor identification and printed marking can be matched to the requested service cable type.
    • Neutral, grounding and phase identification should follow the selected service entrance route and local code requirement.

    Standards

    • UL 83
    • UL 44
    • UL 854
    • ASTM B800 / B801 where applicable

    Main Features

    Service Entrance Configuration

    SER and SEU constructions should match conductor arrangement, grounding method and local service entrance rules.

    Utility-to-Building Route

    Used for service entrance, feeder and panel supply routes where approved building wire construction is required.

    Code-Based Selection

    For SER Service Entrance Cable, conductor material, insulation type, neutral configuration and ampacity should be checked against local code requirements.

    Product Selection Guide

    Wire Type

    Confirm THHN/THWN-2, XHHW-2, THW, TFFN/TFN, SER or SEU before selecting conductor and insulation.

    Local Code Route

    Building wire must follow the destination market electrical code and approved installation method.

    Wet / Dry Location

    Review insulation rating, jacket type and temperature class according to conduit, raceway or service entrance use.

    Conductor Material

    Choose copper, aluminum or 8000-series alloy according to ampacity, voltage drop, termination and budget.
