Supertube Conduit Systems

When you need to combine physical cable protection with superior EMC capabilities, choose from KEC’s Supertube conduit system series. Comprising a sturdy aluminum tube with inner and outer layers of insulating plastic, these EMC conduits can be assembled by hand using basic equipment in minimal time and in a wide array of environments.

Supertube comes in a standard version made from low-smoke, zero-halogen materials. It may be used in low-fire-risk areas, while a high-grade version employs flame-retardant materials for installation in enclosed areas. The series has been subjected to KEC’s rigorous testing process in order to meet International Maritime Organization and the most demanding military standards.

Supertube reduces weight, time, and cost, while its range of fittings allows for complete flexibility in installation. The durable materials ensure reduced maintenance and lower through-life costs
