Teck cable

Teck cables on spools

Teck cable is a type of low voltage armoured cable. It was named after the location where it was first developed and used, Teck Township, now known as Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The mining operations such as those conducted by Teck-Hughes Gold Mining Ltd. required a durable cable to power equipment and withstand the demanding conditions, and teck cable was the engineered result.

In Canada, teck cable is defined by CSA standard C22.2 No. 131 and carries the type designation of TECK 90, the 90 referring to the maximum conductor temperature in degrees Celsius that the cable may be used at in a maximum 30 C ambient environment without de-rating its ampacity.
