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.
