ALL CABLES ARE NOT THE SAME

A GROWING NEED FOR QUALITY CABLES
THE MOST ADVANCED CABLES FOR EVERY APPLICATION

Phelps Dodge is helping build the cities of the future, today. Pioneering new buildings increasingly form part of a highly urbanised landscape that is expanding vertically to host many thousands more people.

In this fast - evolving environment, we support the co nstruction industry as it faces continual challenges – maintaining quality of life for urban dwellers and upholding efficient installation times whilst providing effective new solutions for safety. Cable quality has never been so crucial.

FIRE: THE FACTS

 

Growing fires inside buildings represent 90% of total fires.

Every year, 4000 people are killed by fire.

 
 

Faults in electrical installations are the second most common cause of fires.

WHY QUALITY

COUNTS

There can be kilometres of cable keeping a single building running and enhancing its safety – essential in fires and emergencies. Yet there are still non - compliant cables on sale today.

Cables may represent only a small percentage of a build’s cost. However, some people opt for low - quality products, causing risk to the building’s inhabitants and delays to installation time. They may look similar on the surface, but the difference between a high - quality and a non - compliant cable is significant.

THE PRYSMIAN

DIFFERENCE

When it comes to superior safety and quality, our cables out - performed our competitors when tested for:

  • Flame retardancy.
  • Circuit integrity when withstanding fire.
  • Lower risk of short circuit and fire ignition.
  • Lower electrical losses.

Our usability test results indicated great savings on installation time due to the following features:

  • Easy to strip
  • Easy to flex
  • Less memory effect
  • Better slipperiness
  • Easy termination
  • Stronger outer sheath
  • Less pollution
