Airports' products

Used in ducts or galleries for the energy backbone to maintain power in all circumstances for radars, control tower and runway lighting equipment. Coldshrink joints make installation easier.
These cable s and joints currently equip Madrid Barajas and Incheon airports (Korea).

LV cables for weather beacons

To connect the weather beacons on the airfield.
Nexans provided cables like these for Madrid Barajas airport.

Multimode and singlemode fiber optic cables and interconnecting components

High bandwidth telecom network cables for Voice, Data, Image, and EMIprotected control cables for control networks between radars, Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), beacons and control towers.
Nexans supplies FO cables for Madrid Barajas airport with LSZH materials for radar control networks; exans also supplies Optical Distribution Mainframes for tele com network management at Charles-de-Gaulle airport.

A wide range of cables and wires for overall energy supply, lighting, heating, air conditioning, etc.
Their smooth sheathing and strippability makes them easy to install.

LV flat cables

240-600 V cables provide a backbone into which junction boxes can be easily attached.
These cables are ideal for temporary or modular corridors in the terminal or hangar environment.

Prewired conduits

These conduits can accommodate energy cables, or telephone, coaxial and LAN cables.
Conduits reduce two operations to one, saving time, money and space in large maintenance hangars.

ALSECURE® fire-reaction and ALSECURE® PLUS fire-resistant cables

The former cables (up to 1 kV) prevent fire propagation and dramatically reduce smoke emission; while the latter provide LV power for alarms, smoke evacuation, lighting, sprinklers and Safety Lighting Systems which continue to operate during a fire.
ALSECURE® is used in offices and elevator shafts in Barcelona airport and Charles-de-Gaulle in Paris. ALSECURE® PLUS has been installed in Charles-de-Gaulle, Nice and Bâle-Mulhouse airports.

Elevator and escalator cables

Flat or standard energy and control cables in PVC or halogen-free versions.
Nexans supplied ThyssenKrupp, who produced elevators for the new Dubai airport.

Bus cables

Provide signal transmission for buildings, security, lighting and indoor climate control.
Omnipresent in the airport environment for controlling vital functions.

CCTV and Video-Over-IP cables

A fiber link (sometimes with coax) handles multiple surveillance cameras where distance is a factor.
For sharp digital images and luggage tracking, IP cameras will eventually replace expensive CCTV cameras.

Anti-intrusion cables

Standard cables that give a simple on/off signal for doors, window frames, etc.
Nexans also designs special cables for motion detectors in sensitive airport areas.

Cables for baggage handling systems
