Until the electrician do us part. Nexans Hybrid Cable EXQ/GRHAL

When power and fiber move in sync

Some installations need more than just electricity. Some signals require more than just data. But getting power and fiber to coexist in the same space has historically been a challenge — both technically and practically.

Until now. The Nexans Hybrid Cable brings together power, fiber optics and communication in one single sheath. Two technologies. One cable run. Zero double work.

Two worlds. One cable. Fewer headaches

The Hybrid Cable is developed for installations where power and data need to be run side by side — but time, space and patience are in short supply.

With its figure-8 construction, the cable is easy to separate. That means the electrician can focus on their part, and the fiber technician on theirs, without getting tangled up — literally or figuratively. Everyone stays on their side of the cable. No one cuts into something they shouldn’t.

The result? More efficient installations, lower costs, and a much smoother workflow.

Typical applications

The Hybrid Cable is especially useful for distances over 100 meters, where PoE+ no longer does the job. It’s tailored for AC installations, offering lower voltage drop across long runs compared to DC-based alternatives — a clear advantage for lighting masts or other edge devices. Perfect for perimeter security, outdoor installations or exposed environments.

• CCTV and surveillance

• Access points (WiFi, IoT)

• Access control

• Security systems in industrial and commercial settings

Two functions. One flow

Some things are best kept separate — like power and data. But at Nexans in Grimsås, we don’t shy away from a challenge. That’s why we’ve developed a cable that carries both power and data — while giving each their own space.

The result? A cable that delivers electricity and fiber without compromise.
