Nexans GKN+: the sustainable electrical cable designed for performance

Nexans GKN becomes GKN+, a new generation of Swiss-made cables combining performance and sustainability.
With its recycled sheathing, low-carbon materials and Metrium technology, it reduces CO₂ emissions by 9% to 43% while simplifying your installations.

In a world on the move, electricity is the driving force behind change.

To support this transition, Nexans is innovating with Nexans GKN+, a Swiss-made electrical cable designed to combine performance, sustainability and ease of installation.
Thanks to its 100% recycled sheath, low-carbon materials and exclusive Metrium technology, GKN+ reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 43%, simplifies field work and offers total transparency thanks to its PEP Ecopassport.

With Nexans GKN+, your electrical projects become more efficient while reducing their environmental impact.

A 100% recycled cable sheath

Double the benefits for maximum impact.

Our sheath is made from 100% recycled materials, with no compromise on quality. It reduces pulling force, making installation easier, reducing strain on installers and speeding up construction work.

In addition to these technical advantages, this sheath contributes to a significant reduction in plastic waste and is fully in line with a circular economy approach.

A new cable surface for more efficient pulling

Pulling force reduced by up to 30%

Thanks to its innovative sheath, the GKN+ has a slightly structured surface, similar to an ‘orange peel’ texture, designed specifically to optimise pulling.

Concrete benefits in the field

Less force required = less fatigue and wear on machinery
Reduced risk of jamming or damage
Time savings on construction sites

Recycled copper: circular excellence

10.4% reduction in carbon footprint across the copper range

Sourced from certified sources, our recycled copper retains all its conductive properties while reducing your carbon footprint by 10.4%. It actively promotes a circular economy, making the most of existing resources and reducing mining.

Low-carbon aluminium for a sustainable future

Carbon footprint reduced by between 40% and 43% across the aluminium range

Produced using cutting-edge industrial processes that significantly limit CO2 emissions, our low-carbon aluminium helps reduce the carbon impact by between 40% and 43%* compared to conventional solutions.

This reduction is made possible by the use of geothermal energy in the aluminium production process.

It combines lightness, conductivity and environmental responsibility for installations that are as efficient as they are virtuous.

Metrium marking technology

This unique marking technology allows users to know the remaining cable length at any time.

The metric marking is tailored precisely to the length of your order, thus meeting your specific needs.

It improves inventory management accuracy, reduces unnecessary waste and optimises supplies on construction sites.

A practical solution for better control and greater cost-effectiveness.

Data transparency

PEP Ecopassport

Nexans GKN+ comes with a PEP Ecopassport, an internationally recognised environmental document that guarantees transparency of data on the product's life cycle.

It provides customers with clear and accurate information, enabling them to demonstrate their environmental commitment in concrete terms.
