Who is Prysmian Group and what does it make?
Prysmian Group is an Italian manufacturer of electric cables and solutions for power transmission and distribution, with a portfolio covering industrial power cables, cables for underground/overhead electrical networks and data/fibre-optic cables. The company has over 150 years of experience in the cable industry and operations in over 50 countries. From the range we can quote power cables for industrial installations, power cables for distribution networks and automation/data cables for production halls.
In the industrial cable segment, Prysmian covers wide ranges of power, control and data cables, with oil-resistant, torsion-resistant or extreme-temperature variants for cable chains. The Prysmian portfolio runs from low-voltage cables for industrial installations to high-voltage (HVDC) transmission systems for energy interconnections and offshore projects. The electrification division also covers cables for construction and for local distribution networks, while the digital division produces optical fibre and telecommunications cables for data centres.
For industrial installations in Romania, the relevant segment of the Prysmian range is power and automation cables for production halls, electrical substations and distribution networks — not the submarine or HVDC cable segment, reserved for large infrastructure projects. The right choice depends on the working voltage, the type of insulation and the installation conditions (fixed, mobile, buried).
What do we supply from the Prysmian Group range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Power Cables for Industrial Installations | Low- and medium-voltage cables for supplying equipment and electrical panels in industrial halls, sized according to rated current and installation conditions. They are available in variants with oil-resistant, high-temperature or repeated-mechanical-stress insulation, for fixed or partly mobile installations. Choosing the correct cross-section depends on the maximum current and the route length. For a quotation we need the working voltage, the cross-section and the length required. |
| Cables for Distribution Networks | Low- and medium-voltage cables used in electrical power distribution networks, buried or overhead, between transformer stations and points of consumption. The construction and insulation are chosen according to soil conditions or exposure to the outdoor environment. They are used both in new network projects and in extensions or repairs of existing sections. The customer must specify the rated voltage and the installation type (buried or overhead). |
| Automation and Data Cables for Production Halls | Control, signal and data cables used to connect sensors, PLCs and industrial network equipment in a production hall. The torsion-resistant and flexible variants are designed for mounting on cable chains, where the cable moves repeatedly with the equipment. Proper shielding reduces electromagnetic interference on the line. For a quotation we need the number of conductors, the cross-section and the type of movement the cable is subjected to. |
| Optical Fibre Cables and Systems | Optical fibre cables for telecommunications networks and long-distance data connections, used both in network infrastructure and for connecting data centres. They are available in single-mode or multimode variants, depending on the distance and bandwidth required. They also apply to industrial connections where electromagnetic interference would affect a conventional copper cable. The customer must specify the transmission distance and the connector type required. |

How do we supply Prysmian Group in Romania?
Prysmian cables relevant to industrial installations are brought in on order, through European Union supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks. We do not hold permanent availability of this brand — the cable cross-section, insulation type and length must be confirmed before quotation. Basis of our confirmations: the technical data above comes from the Prysmian manufacturer's technical documentation, without access to the actual stock levels of regional resellers.
Submarine cable variants and high-voltage HVDC cables are reserved for large projects, and we order them project by project.
Frequently asked questions about Prysmian Group
What is the Prysmian H07RN-F cable?
H07RN-F is a flexible rubber cable with a rated voltage of 450/750 V, resistant to oil, abrasion and occasional contact with flame, frequently used on construction sites or for supplying mobile equipment exposed to harsh conditions. The rubber insulation gives it greater flexibility than a cable with classic PVC insulation, which makes it suitable for temporary installations that are moved often.
What is the difference between Prysmian N2XH-O and N2XH-J cables?
N2XH-O is a halogen-free power cable with a working voltage of 0.6/1 kV, without a separate protective conductor, used where earthing is provided by other means of the installation. N2XH-J includes an integrated protective conductor, coloured green-yellow, suitable for circuits where this conductor must be physically part of the cable. Both have a halogen-free sheath with low smoke emission in case of fire.
Do you supply Prysmian cables in Romania?
Yes, Prysmian cables are ordered case by case for each project, with delivery usually estimated at 1–4 weeks, without a permanent reserve of this range kept with us. For a correct quotation we need the rated voltage required, the conductor cross-section and the type of sheath wanted: standard, halogen-free or fire-resistant.
What is the Sirocco optical fibre cable from Prysmian?
Sirocco is Prysmian's microduct-type optical fibre cable, designed for installation by blowing with compressed air into microtubes already in place, a fast method used when extending telecommunications networks. The light construction of the cable reduces friction during installation, allowing longer blowing distances between two access points than a conventional optical fibre cable.
