LS Cable breaks ground for undersea cable facility in US

LS Cable & System said Thursday its manufacturing subsidiary in the United States, LS GreenLink, has begun constructing a cutting-edge facility used to produce undersea cables in Chesapeake, Virginia. The vertical continuous vulcanization (VCV) tower is a key facility in the manufacturing of high-voltage cables, as it forms the insulation layer that determines cable quality and reliability. By producing cables vertically, the system minimizes the effects of gravity during the production process, thereby improving both product quality and production efficiency, according to LS Cable. LS GreenLink’s cable factory is the largest undersea cable production base in the United States. Commercial cable production is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2028. Standing at 201 meters tall, the VCV tower will become the world's largest VCV facility and the tallest structure in the state of Virginia upon completion. The investment comes as the U.S. is rapidly expanding its power grid infrastructure to replace aging transmission networks and support the proliferation of artificial intelligenceWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
