A GROWING NEED FOR QUALITY CABLES
THE MOST ADVANCED CABLES FOR AVERY APPLICATION
Phelps Dodge is helping build the cities of the future, today. Pioneering new buildings increasingly form part of a highly urbanised landscape that is expanding vertically to host many thousands
more people.
In this fast - evolving environment, we support the co nstruction industry as it faces continual challenges – maintaining quality of life for urban dwellers and upholding efficient installation
times whilst providing effective new solutions for safety.
Cable quality has never been so crucial.
FIRE: THE FACTS
Every year, 4000 people are killed by fire.
Growing fires inside buildings represent 90% of total fires.
Faults in electrical installations are the second most common cause of fires.
WHY QUALITY
COUNTS
There can be kilometres of cable keeping a single building running and enhancing its safety – essential in fires and emergencies. Yet there are still non - compliant cables on sale today.
Cables may represent only a small percentage of a build’s cost. However, some people opt for low - quality products, causing risk to the building’s inhabitants and delays to installation time. They may look similar on the surface, but the difference between a high - quality and a non - compliant cable is significant.
THE PRYSMIAN
DIFFERENCE
When it comes to superior safety and quality, our cables out - performed our competitors when tested for:
• Flame retardancy.
• Circuit integrity when withstanding fire.
• Lower risk of short circuit and fire ignition.
• Lower electrical losses.
Our usability test results indicated great savings on installation time due to the following features:
• Easy to strip
• Easy to flex
• Less memory effect
• Better slipperiness
• Easy termination
• Stronger outer sheath
• Less pollution
DEMONSTRABLY BETTER
IN PRACTICE
When it comes to superior safety and quality, our cables out-performed out competitors when tested.
Our cables have been analysed in real construction projects, and the findings revealed a superior level of safety, increased energy efficiency and savings on installation time.
You’ll save more compared to purchasing low - quality cables.
We are committed to cable innovation that combines world - class functioning capabilities with measurable economic advantages, both on installation cost and total cost of ownership.
