PARALLELING/TRIPLEXING ADVANTAGES OF PARALLELING CABLE ● Only one reel needed instead of three ● Ideal if you have limited space available for reel pay offs ● Only one set of reel stands needed instead of three ● Lower installation costs, smaller space required for install ● Fewer people/less labor required for install as contractors/installers often dedicate one person per cable reel during the cable pull ● Smaller area required for the storage of reels needed for a project ● Less waste (empty reels) to dispose of after project ADVANTAGES OF TRIPLEXING All the advantages of paralleling, but also including: ● Eliminates jamming possibility ● Greater maximum pulling tensions can be used since all three conductors can sustain the entire tension of the cable pull ● Lower Impedance ● Lower Electrical Losses CONSIDERATIONS ● Larger circuit sizes could possibly require larger reel sizes and reel weights ● Bigger reels sometimes require bigger cranes ● While paralleling can be done at service centers, triplexing must be done at manufacturing facility ● Paralleling and Triplexing may require longer lead times Okonite Cables...A higher Standard! 102 Hilltop Road, Ramsey, NJ 07446 201.825.0300 Fax: 201.825.9026 www.okonite.com THE OKONITE COMPANY

PARALLELING/TRIPLEXING
ADVANTAGES OF PARALLELING CABLE
● Only one reel needed instead of three
● Ideal if you have limited space available forreel pay offs
● Only one set of reel stands needed instead ofthree
● Lower installation costs, smaller spacerequired for install
● Fewer people/less labor required for install ascontractors/installers often dedicate oneperson per cable reel during the cable pull
● Smaller area required for the storage of reelsneeded for a project
● Less waste (empty reels) to dispose ofafter project
ADVANTAGES OF TRIPLEXING
All the advantages of paralleling, but alsoincluding:
● Eliminates jamming possibility
● Greater maximum pulling tensions can be usedsince all three conductors can sustain the entiretension of the cable pull
● Lower Impedance
● Lower Electrical Losses
CONSIDERATIONS
● Larger circuit sizes could possibly require largerreel sizes and reel weights
● Bigger reels sometimes require bigger cranes
● While paralleling can be done at servicecenters, triplexing must be done atmanufacturing facility
● Paralleling and Triplexing may require longerlead times
