Energy and telecommunication infrastructures are built from the cables used to transmit data or transport electricity.
Choosing high-quality cables is essential to increase the safety of systems and achieve a high level of performance.
A leader in the field is Prysmian, a company with over 140 years of experience in the market, born in 2011 from the merger of two large companies, the Italian Pirelli Cavie Sistemi and Hollandsche Draad & Kabel Fabriek.
Thanks to its great focus on the search for innovative and sustainable solutions, Prysmian Group now provides its customers with electrical and telecommunications cables of remarkable quality, offering numerous benefits, both in terms of usage and in economics ones.
In the following paragraphs, we will try to understand what characteristics mark high-quality solutions such as those offered by Prysmian Group to businesses and end users.
Fields of application
Cables manufactured by leading companies are used in numerous areas of application. They include in particular:
- the construction industry, from industries to apartment blocks and residential areas, in which cables are used to carry electricity;
- the telecommunications industry, which deals with the transmission of voice communication, as well as the transmission of data, images, and video;
- the mobility and transport sector, which requires electrical infrastructures for the control and management of facilities, and for communication;
- the industrial sector, which relies on complex cable systems to meet the power requirements of production facilities.
All the products, in addition to meeting the requirements of the application area, must provide customers with high safety standards combined with long service life.
The latter comes both from the choice of high-quality materials, which reduce the deterioration of the cables, allowing them to be used for longer periods and from the use of innovative cables, which can respond to the ever-changing demands and needs of the communities, groups or individual users who will use the infrastructure.
Main solutions
Depending on the use and context, businesses and companies can choose from a wide range of products, starting with power cables, including underground or submarine cables, designed to carry both low and medium voltage current as well as high and extra-high voltage.
This includes telecommunication cables, optical fiber, and signal and control cables.
Cables for mobility and transport, for example, guarantee high control and maximum power in infrastructures, while telecommunication cables are designed to optimize the transmission of all types of data, from voice to video, in the digital age. Construction cables offer great strengths in terms of reliability and safety.
The companies operating in this sector also allow for tailor-made solutions in every field of application, designed to meet the specific needs of the consumer, public or private, that decides to make use of their products and related services.
The key features that mark the most innovative cable solutions include:
- low fire hazard
- high flame resistance
- chemical resistance
- mechanical resistance
- high transmission capacities.
High-quality cables: financial aspects
Those who decide to rely on leading companies that offer quality solutions can benefit from efficient after-sales services. Moreover, using high-quality cables it is possible to mitigate the risk of system blackouts and the consequent stoppages of production and services, thus reducing economic losses.
The quality of the products and materials also means that infrastructure malfunctions or failures are less frequent; this reduces ordinary and extraordinary maintenance costs. However, in the event of failures, the promptness and expertise of the operators guarantee fast and safe interventions.
The use of the latest generation of cables, manufactured using the most innovative technologies, also reduces the risk of having to replace them at short notice, further reducing the running costs of the installation, whether it is electrical or telecommunications.
