Cable seals provide a flexible tamper-evident solution for utility metering. A steel wire seal can secure meter covers, terminal compartments, cabinets, and access points while showing visible evidence after removal. XHC-006 uses a die-cast aluminum body, steel cable, pull-tight locking, and optional serial numbers or barcodes.
From Lead Seals to Cable Seals
Traditional lead seals use deformable metal and sealing wire. Modern cable seals combine a locking body with steel cable, allowing the seal to pass through irregular or widely spaced sealing points.
Utility meters use physical seals to protect components from unauthorized access. A wire seal creates a visible control point that can be checked during installation, inspection, and maintenance.
Why Steel Cable Is Practical
Security cable seals offer flexible installation across different meter structures.
- Pull-tight locking secures the cable after installation.
- Cable cutters allow authorized removal during servicing.
- Serial numbers support seal identification.
- Barcodes can support inspection and inventory records.
- A listed temperature range of -40°C to 110°C suits many outdoor conditions.
XHC-006 is available with 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, or 2.5 mm cable diameters. The standard cable length is 300 mm, with customization available for different applications.
Cable Seals in Utility Metering
Electricity meters often use physical seals on terminal covers and other access points. Gas and water metering equipment can also require visible tamper-evident protection.
A wire seals configuration should match the actual sealing interface. Hole size, cable routing, tensile strength, and removal method all affect whether the seal can be installed and checked correctly.
Common Sealing Points
Cable seals can be considered for:
- Meter terminal covers
- Meter enclosure doors
- Service cabinets
- Inspection panels
- Gas and water meter enclosures
The final application should follow the meter design and local utility procedures.

How to Select the Right Seal
The correct cable seal depends on both the sealing point and operating environment.
A selection check should cover:
- Sealing-hole size and required cable length
- Required breaking strength
- Outdoor temperature and exposure
- Serial numbering or barcode requirements
- Authorized removal method
- Local metering and utility requirements
Seal numbers should also be recorded during installation. Matching the recorded number during inspection can make unauthorized replacement easier to identify.
Why Steel Wire Changes Sealing Practices
The move from lead seals to cable seals provides greater installation flexibility and more options for identification. A steel wire seal can adapt to different sealing positions while maintaining a visible tamper-evident function.
XHC-006 combines a steel cable, aluminum locking body, pull-tight mechanism, and identification options. Its suitability depends on the meter structure, sealing interface, required strength, and applicable utility requirements.
