Power Cables – the powerful connection
Day by day power cables from Pirelli show their excellent
reliability in distribution systems, power and industrial
plants.
Pirelli Cables and Systems is one of the two core busi-
ness fields of the Pirelli Group that can look back on
125 years in a top position in power transmission and
telecommunications.
Together with the former business sector “Power Cables”
of Siemens, Pirelli is now No. 1 in this market sector.
This forms a solid basis to meet the competent and inno-
vative growing requirements of the worldwide energy
market.
The following pages describe the major products from
our delivery range.
