UtilX Presents Findings on Transmission Cable Study
Copyright 2006, IEEE. (From the 2005-2006 IEEE/PES T&D Conference Proceedings)	8/23/2006
Until now, most of the 70MM ft of injected cable has been in the distribution class of cables. The results of an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of CableCURE life-extension technology on transmission cable are published in this paper, demonstrating treatment effectiveness on par with results on distribution class cables.

SRP Enhances Reliability of Underground Distribution Cable
Transmission & Distribution World	5/23/2005
Salt River Project (SRP) has been using cable injection technology to treat crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) cables since 1998, during which time more than 2.5 million ft (762 km) of underground residential distribution (URD) cable has been successfully treated. Nearly 99% of the treated cable has remained in service and failure free.

Insulating Cables Helps Ensure Electric Reliability
PNM News Release	7/1/2002
Some underground electrical cable installed in the 1960s and 1970s—although considered state-of-the-art at the time—was not manufactured to today’s standards, and is failing at a rate that increases every year. The result: electrical outages for customers. The cost-effective and guaranteed solution: CableCure, or injecting a fluid into the cable that fills the gaps and improves the insulation value.

Verizon's Search for a Cure
OSP Magazine	3/1/2004
We all know that telecommunications cables installed decades ago will sustain damage over time. We also know that water damage is the biggest enemy of buried copper aircore cable that was installed during the 1970s. However, we may not realize the difficulties it has caused to today`s high-speed legacy networks.
