Innovating to compete
Innovating to compete side-by-side with customers. In recent years, Prysmian
has launched new technologies, products and processes onto the market, all of which represent a
benchmark in both the energy cables and telecom cables businesses.
Energy
• Insulation and/or sheathing LS0H compounds (Afumex™) insulation for high
performance fire resistant cables.
• Lead-free cables for the Industrial area adopting the innovative Airbag technology which,
in conjunction with aluminium laminate tapes, replace the traditional lead sheath to provide
superior protection against mechanical shock and aggressive agents.
• Extra flexible cables for special applications in the Industrial area, including mobile
equipment.
• Optopower System Technology: High and Extra High Voltage underground cables used in the
Utilities area which incorporate optical fibre cables for monitoring various network parameters
(including temperature and current).
Telecom
• CasaLight™: a fibre with enhanced performance under severe bending
conditions designed specifically for FTTH applications.
• ADSL++ (20-30 MHz) and VDSL (up to 60 MHz) high-frequency telecoms cables for use both
within exchanges and for the external network (last mile).
• Dry technology: optical cables in which the gelatinous lubricants normally used to protect
the fibres from moisture damage are replaced with dry materials reducing installation times.
• Optical cables for overhead lines based on FiAlt technology (Fibre in Aluminium Tube),
which allow a reduction in the size and weight of OPGW cables.
P-Laser: an innovative technology for the cable industry
Prysmian is also engaged in the development of an innovative technology known
as P-Laser, which consists of an insulating system based on thermoplastic materials, which enable
more competitive production processes to be deployed with respect to the ones currently in use.
Based on patented technological solutions and on a continuous, modular, integrated process,
P-Laser delivers a more compact architecture that is recyclable and compatible with conventional
cables and accessories.
The cable is also easy to handle during the installation and delivers higher performance in
overload conditions, with the advantage for the Customer of lower total cost of ownership of the
entire system.
