Introduction
Nexans is one of the largest wire
and cable manufacturers in the
world, and in North America. In
North America we manufacture
in locations across the United
States and Canada. We design
and produce a wide range of
cables used in power, industrial,
construction and communication
applications.
With more than nine decades
of experience as a leader in the
industrial and power cable markets,
Nexans is contracted by heavy
industry and utilities worldwide
to provide turnkey solutions for
the bulk transmission of power
- from generating station through
the transmission and distribution
systems to commercial, residential
and industrial areas.
This catalog has been prepared
for the convenience of those using
electrical conductors in industrial,
commercial and residential
applications. The information
included in the many tabulations
will be of particular value to the
architect, engineer, electrician, and
layperson alike.
Although we have listed the types
of wires and cables suitable for
most conditions, we are equipped
to manufacture other types to suit
special needs. We would be
pleased to recommend the most
suitable construction for any special
condition that you may encounter.
The determination of the correct
cable size and type, and the
selection of methods of installation
suitable for the type and location
of particular circuits, should be
made in accordance with local
regulations. Any questions in this
respect should be directed primarily
to the local Electrical Inspection
Authority.
We are pleased to note that all
the cables in this catalog are
LEAD FREE. This indicates that the
Nexans cable components have
less than 300 ppm of lead, which
is well below the 1000 ppm level
indicated in RoHS (restriction of
hazardous substances) regulations
and below the level requiring
labeling by California proposition
#65.

TECK90
Applications
FIREX®-II TECK Cables, originally
developed for use in Canadian
mines, are flexible, resistant to
mechanical abuse, corrosion
resistant, compact and reliable.
They are suitable for a wide
range of applications, including
hazardous locations.
Industries such as pulp and
paper, chemical, petroleum and
other primary and secondary
manufacturing industries have used
FIREX®-II TECK Cables, particularly
in areas where cables are subject
to the risk of mechanical damage
and chemical attack.
Commercial applications for FIREX®-II
TECK Cables include apartment
buildings and commercial
complexes.
FIREX®-II TECK Cables can be
relocated easily because they are
rugged and flexible. They can be
used in both dry and wet locations
in open wiring, in ventilated,
non-ventilated and ladder-type
cable troughs, in ventilated flexible
cableways, and for direct burial.
TECK Cables are also suitable for
service entrance installations –
above and below ground.
