Nexans to supply and install 210 km of 132 kV XLPE cable for a turnkey project to upgrade the power infrastructure in Abu Dhabi City

Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cable industry, has been awarded a 72.7 million euros contract by the Abu Dhabi Transmission and Despatch Company (TRANSCO) for a turnkey project to upgrade the high voltage underground power cable infrastructure in Abu Dhabi City, UAE.

Tratoswind is the latest generation of medium voltage power cables from UK manufacturer Tratos Ltd. for use with wind turbines.

With the UK boasting 40% of Europe's total wind energy, the new range of Tratoswind cables has been designed to provide home-grown industrial, commercial and larger domestic wind power users with quality cabling for wind turbines that
combines flexibility and durability.

Cable manufacturer and supplier Tratos Ltd. has launched a new series of FTTH optical cables especially designed for use inside buildings to connect individual properties.

Optimised for brownfield construction networks, the new FTTH cables run vertically from the bottom to the top of the building, and one or more of the cables in the bundle can be branched off at any point and connected to the end user.  A reduced amount of connectivity points (splices, connectors) reduces the installation time, thereby minimising disruption for residents.
