Sustainable development
Sustainable development, once the preserve of
legislators and governments, has become a fact
of life for all stakeholders within society. Today's
project managers, whether in an industrial, services
or infrastructure context, need to respect the
environment and consider the human impact of their
actions.
CABLOFIL is fully aware of these issues and behaves
responsibly across all its sites and organisational
structures. The company also extends this approach
to its partners, with a view to developing a lasting
commitment in this area.

Mechanical resistance
First and foremost, a cable tray must act as an effective, resistant and durable support for
cables.
The mechanical performance of all products and accessories is tested against the very
demanding requirements imposed by the international standard IEC 61537.

Metals and surface treatments

Uncontrolled corrosion is a recurrent problem with all applications involving metals, it may lead to a reduction in the
performance and lifetime of the installation.
Cable trays are mainly exposed to atmospheric corrosion.
The environment in which the cable trays are installed
is therefore the main criteria in the choice of surface
treatment, or type of steel.

Power cables
Electricity transfer generates energy losses in the form of heat. By improving the heat dissipation of power cables, substantial savings can be made. The open structure of CABLOFIL
maximises ventilation and therefore reduces installation and operational costs.

Efficient DATA cabling

In order to manage data installations and master their complexity, it is necessary to have
a high performance cabling system which has the capacity to evolve.
With the relevant standards in mind, CABLOFIL helps design, organise and arrange a variety
of cabling systems, whilst also ensuring system safety.

Fibre optic data cables

The development of fibre optics is a direct result of the growing demand for fast data
transmission between different terminals. Given its immunity to electromagnetic interference
and its characteristics in terms of signal transmission, fibre optics are the ideal support for
high-speed data transmission.

RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY

The two major considerations for the network infrastructures are the reliability and durability
of the installation. In order to measure the positive contribution made by CABLOFIL , even when
overloaded with cables, a series of independent tests were carried out.

Fire protection
Preventing a fire from spreading not only saves lives but can significantly reduce further
damage to property.
Fire prevention is a critical factor in an electrical installation. Specialist designers have the
