DUCAB was established in the UAE in 1979 and has since become one of the most specified cable manufacturers in the region. Its products have been used on infrastructure projects across the UAE and GCC, from utility networks and transport infrastructure to commercial and industrial developments of every scale.

For engineers, procurement teams, and project managers sourcing electrical cables in the UAE and GCC, DUCAB is a consistent first reference. This article looks at what the LV cable range offers, and why sourcing through Electric Way is the most direct route to getting it.

A Manufacturer Built to Power a Nation

DUCAB was founded in 1979 and has grown into one of the Middle East’s leading energy solutions providers, operating six manufacturing facilities across the UAE and exporting to over 75 countries. The company is 100% UAE-owned and aligned with national industrial strategy under Operation 300bn and UAE Energy Strategy 2050.

Its manufacturing base in Mussafah and high voltage facility in Jebel Ali cover the full voltage range, from low voltage building cables to extra-high voltage transmission systems. Products are independently certified by BASEC (UK), Lloyd’s Register, KEMA (Netherlands), LPCB (UK), and ESMA (UAE), with ISO 14001 certification maintained across all sites.

The LV Cable Range: Breadth and Specification

DUCAB’s low voltage cable range covers thirteen product lines, each engineered for a specific application. The LV Power Cable range is the primary specification for most building, infrastructure, and industrial projects. Available in single and multicore, armoured and unarmoured, with conductor sizes from 1.5 mm² to 1,000 mm², rated at 0.6/1 kV and up to 1.9/3.3 kV.

Conductors are available in high-conductivity copper or aluminium. Insulation options include XLPE, PVC, EPR, and silicone. Sheaths span LSZH, PVC, polyethylene, and rubber, allowing correct specification for the actual installation environment rather than a default construction.

The specialist lines within the LV range reflect the depth of DUCAB’s product development. FlamBICC fire-resistant cables serve life safety systems. SolarBICC photovoltaic cables are built for UAE solar installations. RuBICC is DUCAB’s rubber cable range for heavy industrial and mining applications, a genuine DUCAB rubber cable built for the most demanding conditions.

MarineBICC meets offshore and shipboard certification requirements. PetroBICC, with lead sheath and polyamide construction, is specified for oil and gas applications. SmokeMaster covers LSZH cables where low smoke and zero halogen performance is required in occupied buildings.

All products in the range are manufactured against international standards including BS 5467, BS 6724, and IEC 60502-1, making DUCAB armoured cable and unarmoured variants among the most widely approved in project specifications globally.

Innovation That Has Kept DUCAB Ahead

DUCAB has consistently invested ahead of market demand. It launched the GCC’s first high voltage fibre optic cable and developed nuclear-grade cables with a 120-year service life. The company operates solar PV plants at its Jebel Ali facility, offsetting around 14% of its electricity consumption and saving approximately 660 tonnes of CO2 annually.

For specifiers, this matters. A manufacturer that innovates at product level maintains the process discipline that produces consistent quality across high-volume orders.

Two Decades of Partnership with Electric Way

Electric Way has been an authorised DUCAB cable supplier for over two decades, one of the longest-standing distributors in the DUCAB channel. That relationship means significant stock of the core LV range is held locally, enabling immediate supply for live projects and fast response for urgent requirements.

The Electric Way team understands the full range in technical detail and can support cable selection, datasheet provision, and project quotations. For procurement teams managing large bill-of-materials requirements, that combination of stock availability and technical knowledge shortens the sourcing cycle considerably.

Source DUCAB Through Electric Way

Electric Way holds stock of the core DUCAB LV cable range across armoured, unarmoured, and speciality variants. The partnership with DUCAB spans the UAE, the wider Gulf region, and extends to India through a joint cooperation.
