GKN+ 3x 95 Alrm / 50 Cu 0.6/1 kV

The Nexans GKN+ Alu three-core cable belongs to the new generation of low-carbon low-voltage cables combining durability, light weight, and performance. Designed with a 100% recycled outer sheath and using low-carbon aluminium, it enables a reduction of the CO2 footprint by up to 43%, depending on the configuration. 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. The cable also features a PEP Ecopassport, providing full transparency over its life cycle. Equipped with cross-linked HEPR insulation, it ensures robustness, resistance to mechanical stresses, and long-term reliability for demanding electrical infrastructures.
