Pysmian Afumex Green 1 kV electrical cable

Prysmian has expanded its Afumex Green line of cables with the Afumex Green 1 kV cable, suitable for powering machinery, equipment and lighting in commercial and residential buildings.

The safe and sustainable cable is designed to replace the traditional petroleum-derived polyethylene used for insulation with biopolyethylene (green polyethylene or green PE). This material is visually and functionally identical to ordinary plastic, but is developed from sugarcane, and is 100% renewable, has international certification and also reduces CO₂ emissions.

The product features an overall jacket (cover), ensuring there is additional mechanical protection for various installations, such as directly buried, in open trays, in dry-wall constructions, as well as traditional conduits. It is also flexible with a double layer, is resistant to temperatures up to 90°C, does not contain lead or other heavy metals and has metre-by-metre marking.

The product does not propagate flames in the event of fire, has very low smoke emissions and has zero toxic gases. It is also certified to NBR5410 and NBR13570 standards for electrical installations in areas with high concentrations of people and in confined environments.
