Gaon Cable and DL E&C Complete Verification of 'Cable Construction Method'...Full-Scale Application to Apartment Complexes Next Year
Integration of Conduit Installation and Wire Insertion
Reducing Construction Costs and Shortening Construction Periods
The next-generation power distribution construction method jointly developed by Gaon Cable and DL E&C has successfully completed on-site verification at newly built apartment complexes and is now entering the commercialization stage.
On the 25th, Gaon Cable announced that together with DL E&C, it had completed performance and constructability verification by pilot-applying "ACF (Aluminum Clad Flex) cables with integrated conduit" at new apartment building construction sites.
The ACF cable is a next-generation power distribution solution that integrates a high-strength aluminum exterior, serving as both the power cable and the conduit, into a single product. Unlike the traditional "install conduit, then insert wire" method, this integrated process can reduce construction costs by up to 20–30% and shorten construction periods. Since signing a "joint research and development agreement for the exposed method (ACF cable)" in 2023, the two companies have refined the technology and optimized it for on-site application. In Korea, Gaon Cable is currently the sole provider of commercialized ACF cables to the market.
Until now, the absence of standardized construction methods and guidelines for the exposed method of ACF cables had made implementation at newly built apartment sites challenging. The two companies have newly established proprietary components and construction methods, and through DL E&C's Building Information Modeling (BIM) designs, they have accurately calculated necessary material quantities, thereby ensuring both quality and safety.

Starting next year, ACF cables will be fully applied to new apartment complexes constructed by DL E&C. Additionally, given that they can be easily installed in narrow spaces and minimize structural damage, the application will be expanded not only to new apartments but also to logistics centers, plants, and remodeling projects.
