Why Nexans Cables

Engineered for Engineers

Every cable we produce carries quantifiable performance data — not marketing claims.

Safety-First Engineering

Every cable is tested to IEC 60332 fire performance and IEC 60331 circuit integrity standards. Specified in petrochemical facilities and offshore platforms where failure is not an option.

Multi-Standard Compliance

Full traceability from raw copper to finished cable. UL, CE, CPR, and IEC certified across our entire product range — simplifying multi-market project specifications.

Extreme Condition Performance

Rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +90°C. XLPE insulation delivers consistent dielectric strength exceeding 20 kV/mm across a 30-year design life.

Custom Cable Engineering

In-house design team delivers bespoke cable constructions within 15 business days. Non-standard conductors, specialized sheathing compounds — engineered to your exact specification.

Two Decades of Expertise

Offshore wind farm cable installation
Project Highlight

North Sea Offshore Wind Collection Network

In 2019, our engineering team supplied 47 km of 33 kV XLPE submarine cables for an inter-array collection network connecting 38 offshore wind turbines in the North Sea. The project required cables with longitudinal water blocking, double-layer steel wire armour, and bend-stiffener compatibility for J-tube pull-in at each turbine foundation.

All cables were factory-tested to 64 kV (1.9× Uo) with partial discharge levels below 5 pC, and delivered on 22 custom turntable-loaded drums coordinated with the cable-laying vessel schedule. The installation was completed in 14 weeks with zero cable faults during commissioning — verified by independent high voltage testing to IEC 60502-2.
