Anti-fraud cable is a kind of concentric cable. It is used to prevent the theft of electrical energy in the connections or service entrances from the distribution network to the meters or panels of the users..

This cable has the particularity that the neutral conductor is formed by bare wires that concentrically surround the phase conductor, which is insulated with a thermoplastic material. Thus, if someone tries to tamper with the cable to make an illegal hookup, a short circuit will occur which will blow the fuse or the protection switch.

This type of concentric cable connects from the power distribution network to the meter, and from the meter to the general distribution panel. Thus, it is guaranteed that all the energy consumed is registered by the meter and billed by the company providing the service.
