Power Transmission Systems.
Prysmian designs, produces and installs high and extra-high voltage cables
for power transmission both from power plant sites and in the transmission and primary distribution
networks.This business area focuses mainly on turnkey solutions, customised to meet
Customer needs, which are generally higher value-added products for Prysmian. Products in this
business area include cables insulated with paper impregnated with oil or fluid, rated for voltages
up to 1100 kV and extruded polymer insulated cables for voltages below 500 kV. Prysmian’s
extra-high voltage and high voltage power transmission products are highly customised and have a
high technological content. This business area provides Customers with installation and
post-installation services, as well as network management and maintenance services, including
network performance monitoring, network cables repair and maintenance, and emergency services, such
as disaster recovery.

Submarine Power Transmission and Distribution Systems.
Prysmian designs, produces and installs turnkey submarine power transmission and
distribution systems worldwide. The Group develops proprietary cables and accessories, which
utilise all types of submarine power transmission and distribution technology, which are suitable
for installation at depths of up to 2,000 meters. The product offerings of this business line
include cables insulated with paper impregnated with oil or fluid for power transmission up to 500
kV in direct and alternate current and extruded polymeric insulation cables for voltages up to 400
kV in alternate current and up to 300 kV in direct current.Installation, planning and services are a particularly important aspect of
this business area. In particular, for installation Prysmian can call on the Giulio Verne, one of
the largest and most technologically advanced cable laying ships in the world.

Power Distribution Cables and Systems.
In the field of power distribution cables and systems, Prysmian produces medium voltage
cables and systems for the connection of industrial and/or residential buildings to primary
distribution networks and low voltage cables and systems for power distribution and the wiring of
buildings. All Prysmian products in this business area comply with international standards
regarding insulation capacity, fire resistance, smoke emissions and halogen levels.
•
Network Accessories and Components.
Prysmian also produces accessories such as joints and terminations for low, medium, high and
extra-high voltage cables to connect cables to each other and to other network equipment, suitable
for industrial, building or infrastructure applications and for power transmission and distribution
applications.
The components for high voltage applications, in particular, are designed to customer
specifications.
Trade & Installers
Prysmian manufactures a complete range of both rigid and flexible low voltage
cables to distribute power to and within residential and non-residential premises in compliance
with international standards.
Particular attention in terms of product development and innovation is paid to high
performance cables, such as Fire Resistant cables and Low Smoke Zero Halogen cables. Both these
cable families are used for all applications where safety must be guaranteed: in the case of fire,
Fire-Resistant cables continue to operate and Low Smoke Zero Halogen cables have a reduced emission
of toxic gas and smoke.
Industrial
Prysmian’s extensive product portfolio, developed specifically for the
Industrial Market sector, includes customised products for a variety of specialist applications.
Prysmian cables serve a broad list of industries, including Oil & Gas, Transportation,
Infrastructure, Mining and Renewable Energy. Prysmian concentrates its efforts on providing
integrated, value-added cabling solutions that are highly customised to the specific needs of
customers. Its customers include industrial groups and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)
which are world leaders, such as ABB, AKER, Alstom, SNCF, Petrobras, Peugeot-Citroen, Renault,
Siemens and Valeo.
Prysmian’s Oil & Gas business focuses on both the research and refining of hydrocarbons
and exploration and production. It, therefore, provides a range of products from low and medium
voltage power and instrumentation/control cables, to dynamic multipurpose umbilical cables to
transport energy, telecommunications, fluids and chemical products in joining submarine sources and
collectors to FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading) platforms.
In the transport sector Prysmian cables are used for the construction of trains, ships and
automobiles; infrastructure comprises products for railways, harbours, and airport facilities. The
range also includes cables for the mining industry and for applications in the renewable energy
sector. Prysmian is also active in cables for military applications and for nuclear power plants,
which can withstand high radiation environments.
