1) The high-performance medium-voltage cable based on high-temperature superconductors has to be cooled to almost -200°C for optimum conductivity.
2) The 30-metre long demonstration cable, including associated terminations and cryogenic equipment, demonstrated viability in the Nexans laboratory in Hanover.
3) Suitable for high-speed network connections: the Nexans iGigaSwitch 54x systems.
4) The GPH M630-1000 screw connector rounds off the high end of Nexans’ range of medium-voltage connectors.
5) Also available: the Nexans cable lug GPH C630-1000.

Superconducting medium voltage cable from Nexans conducts record current: 3,200 A during load cycle tests --- Gigabit Ethernet switch for complex network connections; Nexans presents the new iGigaSwitch-54x series --- Medium-voltage connector for cross-sections of 16 mm² to 1,000 mm²; Nexans Power Accessories presents the M630-1000 screw connector
Nexans’ superconductor specialists have successfully concluded the Endesa Supercable project while setting a new world record. In December 2009, their single-phase, medium voltage cable (24 kV) carried 3,200 A in laboratory conditions, almost 10 percent more than any installed medium voltage cable worldwide. During ten load cycles of 24 hours the rated current was applied for 8 hours per cycle while the cable was subjected to twice the nominal voltage continuously.
Two further press releases describe the new iGigaSwitch 54x series for professional complex network connections and the new screw connector M630-1000
The pictures for all 3 press releases are available as ZIP-file.
