New Zealand, September 30, 2024 – Nexans New Zealand, a leader in the design and manufacturing of cable technology solutions, is reinventing the wheel by launching the expansion of its innovative MOBIWAY BOOST system with the addition of six new cable options. These include Earth cable (6mm), Climate cable (1.5mm), Switch cables (1mm and 1.5mm), and Current cables (4mm and 6mm). This expansion is designed to meet the toughest electrical installation demands, delivering significant benefits to users. 

- Increased Flexibility: More cable options provide the versatility to match exact project needs, making installations across various sectors easier. 

- Efficiency and Convenience: All necessary cables are available within one system, simplifying inventory management and reducing the need to source from multiple suppliers. 

- Cost-Effectiveness: The ability to choose precise cable quantities minimises waste and lowers overall material costs. 

- Streamlined Installation: Multiple cables can be pulled simultaneously, reducing setup time and improving workflow. 

- Improved On-Site Productivity: More cable options enable workers to adapt quickly, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime. 

- Enhanced Safety: Features like safer unspooling and ergonomic handling minimise installation risks, especially when managing a broader range of cables. 

MOBIWAY BOOST: A Win for Efficiency and Sustainability 

For over 40 years, the spool design has remained unchanged, primarily constructed from plastic, with most industry spools being recyclable. However, due to the absence of recycling facilities and inadequate recycling practices, they often end up in landfill. This not only depletes valuable natural resources but also imposes a significant environmental impact. In a move away from the unsustainable use of single-use spools, Nexans introduced MOBIWAY BOOST – a returnable and reusable solution, leading to a significant decrease in energy consumption. With improved meter marking and additional cable length on each spool, it minimizes scrap cable and maximises usage value. Through the implementation of recyclable and reusable initiatives, we can significantly contribute to waste reduction in landfills and minimize the impact of mining, achieving energy savings.  

Collaboration Leads to Innovation: Nexans MOBIWAY BOOST Designed by Electricians, for Electricians.  

The building market is global and presents a variety of challenges urging Nexans to understand local market dynamics by regularly engaging with professionals in focus groups and persona studies. Throughout this process, Nexans identified significant pain points within the electrical installation industry mainly concerning labour costs, operational inefficiencies, and logistical challenges.

Verbatim customers’ pain points quoted: 

“Lots of manual handling, trolleys only help moving from warehouse shelf to van and back” 

“Labour costs are the biggest concern” 

“A-frames get forgotten, require more than one person, and can be a safety issue on site. Cannot bring A-frame into every space” 

“Half empty spools get left on the pallet because installers don’t know how much cable is on the spool” 

“Unspools the cables for less resistance, and spools tend to run away. The cable on the ground mostly gets thrown in the skip. It gets easily tangled and it takes time to sort out and weakens the cable”

In March 2022, Nexans initiated extensive research, interviewing 32 professionals across ANZ. The respondents were licenced electricians working in both commercial and residential sectors, and were given hands-on access to Nexans MOBIWAY BOOST initial prototypes during research sessions. Their feedback provided invaluable insights and helped to refine the product to meet the industry's needs, ensuring a more efficient, cost effective, safer, and more sustainable solution for electricians. This collaborative approach underscores Nexans' commitment to innovation and customer-centric design. 

Reaching new heights in cable installation and sustainable electrification Nexans MOBIWAY BOOST system revolutionises the future of electrical industry with its functional design and features, redefining the industry standards in convenience and productivity.  

Our past, present, and future; innovation is in our DNA.
