1. A wide range of cables and processes

In this section, we present our different product lines. In principle, cable manufacture follows three main stages:

• manufacture of the elementary wire by depositing a layer of insulation on the electrical conductor (copper) or on the fiber;

• assembly of the various elementary wires obtained;

• the sheathing of this assembly to obtain the final cable.

Three main cable families can be considered. These are telecommunication cables built using wires with a conductive core (transmission of data by electrical signals), then telecommunication cables built using optical fibers (transmission of data by optical signals), and finally cables for the transmission of electrical energy.

Cables can be very different, depending on...
