The Nexans Fire Safety offer is essential in large complex construction projects with high safety standards buildings like data centers, or public buildings such as hospitals, offices, schools, malls, hotels , as well as infrastructures like tunneling, rail and airport. It also addresses solar power systems, EV charging installations, and  residential applications.  

Saving lives and securing assets with state-of-the-art cable technology

With Nexans Fire Safety, the Group aims to help its partners and customers bring their safety standards to the next level, taking a step ahead on the existing practices with the industry-leading innovation.

Benefiting from Nexans' global expertise, designed in R&D centers in Turkey, Nexans fire-resistant cables maintain electrical circuit integrity up to two hours. These cables are crucial to saving lives by allowing critical systems (such as emergency lighting, fire detection, warning systems, automatic doors, etc.) to function even in the event of a fire and facilitating a fast and secure evacuation. In parallel, Nexans low fire-hazard cable range allows to slow down fire spread and reduce potential flaming droplets, thus providing more time to escape, as well as a safer environment for rescue teams. Above all, these cables aim at limiting smoke release and acidity of emissions, as smoke inhalation is the most critical factor, being responsible for 80% of fire-related deaths.

Services and digital Solutions for end-to-end construction project management

Nexans Fire Safety offer illustrates Nexans’ commitment to innovating beyond cables with smart solutions and services enabling customers to design, install and manage their electrification systems in a safe and efficient way, such as:

• Nexans’ innovative smart packaging MOBIWAY™ MOB and MOBIWAY™ UNREEL, which aim to simplify contractors and installers’ work by enabling easytransport, safe cables manipulation and reduced installation time on construction sites.
