• With its ergonomic design, Mobiway™ MOB drum kit allows for easier transportation & unwinding of cables – reducing cable installation time by half
• The new connected packaging solution allows installers to check the authenticity of cables and quickly access relevant product, service and support information
• Designed and manufactured in France, the reusable drum kit is now more sustainable with over 75% of recycled materials

Paris, April 5, 2023 – Nexans launches the Mobiway MOB drum kit, an innovative connected cable transport & installation solution for medium to large-sized building projects. While traditional cable drums are bulky and unwieldy, Nexans’ Mobiway MOB is designed to make the process of manipulating and unwinding cables safe and effortless for installers. As a result, the time required for cable installation could be reduced by half.

Lighter and easier to transport, the advanced Mobiway MOB will be replacing the first generation of Mobiway packaging. Thanks to the patented ergonomic design, the drum kit has become even more stable and robust, improving workplace safety and extending product lifetime on construction sites. Furthermore, the connected packaging solution allows installers to obtain all key information about the product on the spot. By simply scanning the drum kit, installers can access the product sheet, cable installation tutorials, and even check the authenticity of cables with Vigishield Anti Counterfeit.

Nexans’ new packaging solution includes 76% of recycled materials and can be reused with any Mobiway MOB compatible drum. The solution was specially designed for 3-core cables with 1.5 mm² cross-section and up to 5-core cables with 2.5 mm² cross-section, such as Nexans markings Distingo NX’TAG, or Fire Safety Nexans Alsecure cable range. Designed and manufactured in France, it is the only drum kit on the market to allow transportation and unwinding of low-voltage cable lengths up to 300 meters.

The innovative drum kit is part of the Mobiway range, a full range of connected re-usable packaging and tooling solutions. In addition to Mobiway MOB, the range includes Mobiway UNREEL, an original wooden drum that makes cable transportation and unwinding effortless without any extra tools for large-sized building, infrastructures and power distribution projects. By using a patented set of drums with an associated unwinding system, Mobiway UNREEL makes it possible for even just one person to complete the installation process safely and efficiently, whether in a small space or warehouse.
