The Cable & Earthing Department is the largest of the three Departments, with a solid customer base comprising power utilities, electrical and mechanical engineering companies, Government and private-sector developers fairly evenly drawn from Hong Kong and China.

The Cable & Earthing Department's main product lines are:

  • Single-core branch power cables manufactured by NND of Japan. This agency has been held by Swire Engineering for over a decade and commands a market share of nearly 60% in Hong Kong. Owing to electrical regulations in China, it was only in late 1998, following extensive consultation and customer training by Swire Engineering, that single-core branch power cables were generally accepted for use in China. Sales have begun at a much faster rate than originally anticipated.
