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 a century 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. For your convenience, we have
referenced applicable Articles and
Tables from both the 2008 NEC and
the 2011 NEC.
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 component
has 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.

Construction
Conductor: Compact stranded AA8000 series aluminum alloy per ASTM
B800 and B801 (8 AWG is solid).
Insulation: color coded cross-linked
polyethylene (XLPE).
Insulated Assembly: Insulated
conductors are laid in a parallel
configuration. Solid bare wires
are applied concentrically over
the conductors forming the neutral
conductor. A flame retardant fiberglass
reinforced binder tape assembles the
core in a tight configuration.

END-USER WARRANTY
WARRANTY LIMITATIONS
Nexans warrants to the end-user that
its cable will meet Nexans’ published
specifications for the cable and be
otherwise free from defects in material
and workmanship for a period of one
(1) year after the in-service date, or
one (1) year and six (6) months from
the original date of shipment from the
manufacturer, whichever occurs first
(the “Warranty Period”). If during the
Warranty Period, end-user believes that
there is a breach of warranty, end-user
must provide Nexans within ten (10)
days with written notification setting
forth the nature of the claimed breach.
Nexans shall promptly investigate
such claimed breach and shall, after
its investigation, either (i) provide
information to end-user confirming
that no breach of warranty has in fact
occurred; or (ii) advise end-user of
Nexans’ planned corrective action.
If a breach of warranty has in fact
occurred, Nexans shall, at its election,
promptly repair or replace the defective
cable at no cost to end-user. All costs
incidental to such corrective
action including, but not limited
to removal, disassembly,
reinstallation and reconstruction
shall be borne by the enduser and in no event shall
Nexans be liable for such costs.
Furthermore, Nexans will not
be responsible for any damage
or repairs to, or replacement
of, adjacent or connected
equipment to which the cable
may supply electrical power, or
from which it may take electrical
power, or with which it may,
in any manner, be connected.
All warranty repairs or replacements
made during the Warranty Period shall
be warranted for the balance of the
Warranty Period.
This warranty does not cover the repair
or replacement of any cable which fails
as a result of damage in transit, misuse,
neglect, accident, Acts of God, abuse,
improper handling, improper storage,
excessive stress, faulty or improper
or unauthorized installation or repair,
negligent maintenance or failure to
comply with the written instructions
for installation, use or maintenance
provided by Nexans.
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE Remedy
THIS document sets forth
Nexans’ sole and exclusive
warranty obligation to EndUSER AND END-USER’s sole and
exclusive remedy in the event of
