Environmental data
GKN+-ALU 1 X 240 Alrm/50 Cu 0.6/1 kV
The Nexans GKN+ Alu single-core cable is a new-generation low-carbon cable that combines light weight, performance, and a significant reduction in environmental impact. Its outer sheath is made from 100% recycled material, and the use of low-carbon aluminium enables a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 43%. Designed to optimise installations, it also integrates Metrium, an intelligent and precise marking system that indicates the remaining cable length in real time, simplifying installation and optimising on-site monitoring. It also benefits from a PEP Ecopassport, ensuring full transparency throughout its life cycle. Thanks to its cross-linked HEPR insulation, this cable provides excellent mechanical and thermal performance while maintaining high durability for modern low-voltage networks.
