Type G

What Is Type G Cable?

Type G cable is a flexible three- or four-core medium- to heavy-duty portable power cord for industrial and mining use. The cable has a 2,000-volt AC rating with three or four green insulated ground conductors. Type G cable uses a rope lay construction for strength and has a circular shape achieved through the use of fillers and reinforcement. It has an outer jacket made from chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) synthetic rubber that's resistant to deformation, abrasion, and abuse. Allied Wire and Cable (AWC) Type G cables have UL approval and MSHA listing.
