Superconducting technology was showcased as revolutionary for the rail industry, positioning it as a game-changer in the future of rail transport.

Developed by Nexans and installed by SNCF Réseau, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is a world first on the rail market. It limits disruptions to the power supply of the rail network using a standalone system to reduce short-circuit currents.

An unprecedented partnership with France’s State-Owned Railway Company: these will be the first superconducting cables in France, and the first of their kind to be integrated into a rail supply network anywhere in the world. Nexans’ superconducting cables will help secure the electricity supply to the Paris Montparnasse sector.

FLAMEX^® cables have been selected by Comeca Group to modernize the 188 on-board HVAC systems of the 47 Citadis trams in Lyon after 20 years of service.

Nexans has reinforced its position as world-leader in cable solutions after revealing its new installation solution to simplify, secure and make cable installation smarter

Over a two-year contract, Nexans will supply RATP with around 4,800 km of rail cable for infrastructure and on-board installation for projects including the Grand Paris Express.
