As families and friends come together to celebrate, vibrant lights are raised in tandem with festive ornaments, the foyers of shopping malls refurbished and the streets dazzle at night.

Even our own garden and living room will be touched by the festivity’s enchanting tone. Yet, warm smiles and warm hearts are only the true icing on the cake, if no attention is given to the content.

“When we come together for a celebration with our loved ones, enjoy it with peace of mind,” said Universal Cable (M) Berhad man aging director Azman Yusoff. “With the vast amount of decorating lights up during this period, the electrical demands can be taxing for the wires and cables powering them.

“Often overlooked due to its concealed nature, quality cables such as UniHome Housing Cables ensure safety and comfort as we take in the festivities.

“The unseen threat of substandard cables is present and we must not allow it to disrupt our lives.”

The Fire and Rescue Department Malaysia reported that in 201 0, 5,878 fire cases were directly caused by electrical faults. These electrical faults may be a result of the installation of substandard cables, which are widely and easily available in the market today.

‘One of the main dangers of substandard cables is overheating. The smaller diameter of a substandard housing cable reduces its ability to conduct electricity effectively, thereby causing the cable to overheat and burn or mell” explained Azman.

As homeowners are unaware of the dangers of substandard cables and how easily available it is in the market, Universal Cable (M) Berhad is taking the initiative to educate the public about safety-assured wires and cables like UniHome Housing Cables and some electrical safety tips to take note of, especially during this festive season.
