MV underground and submarine cables

Our two leading types of medium-voltage cable are XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) and EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber). The former is used worldwide, while the latter is mainly for selected markets.

From a design point of view, medium-voltage cables are of three types:

• single-core cable,
• three single-core cables laid-up,
• three-core cable.

Nexans cables are custom designed to meet your high performance standards.

Submarine cables are used to link islands, between platforms, submarine installations, across fjords and over the sea for hundreds of kilometres. High quality and reliability are extremely important design criteria for Nexans submarine cables and umbilicals.

From 6 to 525 kV
Nexans offers a complete range of submarine power cables, from 6 to 525 kV.

Adapted to customers' needs
The insulation system is for each implementation adapted to the customers’ needs, providing solutions for both AC and DC, by paper/oil or extruded polymer insulation systems. With our factory especially designed for manufacturing long lengths the limitations are more of a physical or geographical nature than manufacturing capacity.

Combines different elements in one cable
Our multiple core cables can contain power phases, optical fibre steel tubes and high pressure s...

Substations or power transformation systems are a connecting ring among the several levels of tension.

The power requirements of cities and the big inhabited areas are continuosly increasing. The distribution systems are more and more great. Often, the electric provisioning through MV cables, on part of the city is no longer economically bearable due to a high power requirement. Therfore it's necessary to carry out transformation systems able to link HV to MV rates.

Nexans can serve this market with its high-technology products.
