Jera Line, a leading factory specializing in the production of low and medium voltage cable connectors and accessories, we are deeply committed to improving energy efficiency and reducing our carbon footprint. Jera Line is a direct factory location in China, manufactures products such as insulated piercing connectors (IPC), cable clamps, mechanical cable connectors and lugs, stainless steel bandings, and other accessories for power networks. Over the years, we have implemented several eco-friendly practices to meet global sustainability standards. Here’s how we’ve made a real difference.
Jera Line’s Approach to Reducing Carbon Footprint and Increasing Energy Efficiency
1. Shifting to Full Electric Plastic Injection Machines
One of our most energy-intensive production processes is plastic injection molding, which we use to manufacture products such as insulation piercing connectors (IPC) for low and medium voltage overhead usage. Traditionally, this process relied on hydraulic machines, which consumed significant energy and produced excessive waste. To address this, we replaced these machines with full electric plastic injection systems.
Benefits:
● Energy Efficiency: Electric machines consume up to 50% less energy compared to hydraulic systems, resulting in lower power consumption.
● Precision: The switch to electric machines has led to higher precision in production, reducing defects and material waste.
● Environmental Impact: The reduction in energy consumption directly lowers our carbon emissions, aligning with our commitment to reducing our overall carbon footprint.
2. Switching to Full Electric Stamping Machines
Jera Line also made a strategic move to replace traditional stamping machines with full electric models, particularly for the production of metallic components like mechanical cable lugs (CLB) and aerial low-voltage (LV) cable clamps.
Benefits:
● Lower Energy Consumption: Electric stamping machines require significantly less power, translating into fewer carbon emissions.
● Improved Efficiency: The precision and control of electric machines improve material utilization, reducing waste during production. For products like mechanical bolted cable lugs(CLB) and aerial LV clamps, this also means improved durability and consistency.
3. Introduction of PLA Biodegradable Bags
As part of our mission to reduce plastic waste, Jera Line replaced conventional plastic bags with PLA biodegradable bags for packaging. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is made from renewable resources like corn starch, making it a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
Benefits:
● Reduced Plastic Waste: Unlike traditional plastic, PLA bags naturally decompose, significantly reducing plastic pollution.
● Sustainability: Using plant-based, renewable materials for packaging aligns with global efforts to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
4. Laser Marking for Eco-Friendly Labeling
Product labeling has traditionally relied on stickers or ink-based methods, both of which generate waste and require additional materials. At Jera Line, we’ve replaced these methods with laser item marking.
Benefits:
Zero Waste: Laser marking eliminates the need for consumables such as ink, paper, or adhesives, reducing waste in the production process.
Durability: Laser markings are resistant to wear, ensuring that essential product information remains clear for the product's entire lifecycle.
5. FSC Certification for Plywood Pallets
Jera Line is committed to responsible sourcing of materials. We’ve obtained FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification for the wood used in our plywood pallets. This ensures that the wood comes from responsibly managed forests that meet environmental, social, and economic standards.
Benefits:
● Sustainable Sourcing: FSC certification guarantees that our wood-based packaging materials come from forests that are managed in a way that supports biodiversity and prevents deforestation.
● Environmentally Friendly Packaging: Our use of FSC-certified pallets highlights our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our shipping and logistics operations.
Products Most Influenced by Jera Line Sustainability Measures
Several of our core products have benefited from these energy-efficient and eco-friendly practices, including:
Insulated Piercing Connectors (IPC)

Jera Line produces high-quality low and medium voltage insulation piercing connectors (ZOP series), designed for use with overhead electrical conductors in power lines. These connectors allow for installation without stripping the cable insulation, ensuring efficient and secure connections.
Our transition to electric plastic injection machines has significantly improved IPC production. The teeth of the IPCs are now manufactured with greater precision, reducing defects and material waste. This makes our IPCs more energy-efficient to produce while adhering to international quality standards such as EN-50483.
Jera Line manufactures low-voltage mechanical cable lugs, suitable for cables ranging from 16 mm² to 1000 mm². Our transition to an electric stamping process has significantly improved the production of CLBs. This shift has reduced energy consumption, enhancing the sustainability of our manufacturing process while maintaining the high quality and consistency of our cable lugs.
Aerial Low-Voltage (LV) Cable Clamps

Jera Line manufactures low-voltage tension and suspension clamps for securing aerial cables in overhead power distribution systems.
These clamps are now produced using energy-efficient stamping machines, with laser marking for labeling. This updated process not only enhances product durability and precision but also reduces the environmental impact, making production more sustainable.
Benefits for Our Customers: Why Jera Line Products Are More Environmentally Friendly
Compared to other manufacturers in the cable connector industry, Jera Line offers several eco-friendly advantages:
● Lower Carbon Footprint: The energy savings from our full electric machines and the use of renewable materials in our packaging directly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our customers can be assured that they are purchasing products with a smaller carbon footprint.
● Sustainable Packaging: By using PLA biodegradable bags and FSC-certified plywood pallets, we minimize the environmental impact of our packaging. This not only helps reduce plastic waste but also supports sustainable forest management.
● High-Quality Products with Less Waste: The precision of our electric machines results in fewer production defects, meaning less material waste and lower overall resource consumption. This translates into higher-quality products that last longer and perform better.
● Responsible Business Practices: As part of our commitment to sustainability, Jera Line continuously strives to innovate and reduce its environmental impact. By choosing our products, customers support a manufacturer that prioritizes ecological responsibility.
Conclusion: Committed to a Sustainable Future
At Jera Line, sustainability is not just a trend but a long-term commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and increasing energy efficiency. By upgrading our production processes, adopting eco-friendly packaging, and sourcing materials responsibly, we’ve taken concrete steps toward a greener future. Our customers benefit from products that are produced with less environmental impact, ensuring they receive high-quality, eco-friendly solutions for their power network needs.
