for optical telecommunication cables. it has
a capacity of 1.5 million km of optical cables
and 500,000 km of copper cables, covering the
entire demand for both products. prysmian

NEW NANO LOOSE tUBE
cABLES
prysmian group presented the new nano
loose tube category of cables in 2013. these
products boast a smaller diameter and thus
a higher density of fibre, allowing up to 192
fibres to be inserted into standard 10/12mm
conduits and up to 96 fibres into 8/10 mm
conduits.
prysmian australia is a key strategic supplier
and is working closely with nbn (national
broadband project) to shape decisions and
provide the best possible cable solutions,
whatever network technology and mix nbn
ultimately decides upon. the broadband
network will connect 93% of commercial
and residential buildings in the country. so
far the one-million kilometre mark has been
passed, meaning that the first milestone
was achieved. prysmian specialist fibre optic
cables are being installed underground,
covering up to 80% of suburban australia
in nsw, Queensland, northern territory,
western australia and the act.
prysmian group is the global
leader in optical fibre, the
key element for any type
of optical cable. the group
fully satisfies demand from
business and residential
customers for even faster
broadband connections.
