As this catalogue is not intended to cover all of LIBAN CABLES S A L possibilities inCopper Telephone Cables manufacturing, the hereafter listing of the types of cables is notrestrictive but only indicative of the main and most current types we manufacture.

On the other hand, our specification sheets are inspired mainly from InternationalElectrotechnical Commission Specifications (IEC) only in order to conform with thesustained trend, noticed both regionally and worldwide, towards these same IECsupposed to inspire any further standardization approaches.

That is why, while consulting this brochure, it is important to keep in mind that:- any combination or change of the constructional details mentioned in hereafter

chapter 5 remains feasible, on base of special conception development, matchingany special or different specifications,

- we can offer additional possibilities and alternatives like for example:- Pair, quad, and other basic formations- Unit or concentric stranding- Comparted construction (ex: MIC cables)

- our production encompasses all telecom cables of low, high or special mutualcapacitance and conductor gauges ≥ 0.4 mm.

F i n a l l y, and within our policy of constant improvement, we reserve the right to alter anypart of the information contained in this publication without incurring any obligation. Inall cases this brochure being only indicatve, and unless expressly agreed upon, it cannotbe considered by any mean as contractual document.

1 NOTICE

Devoted to the manufacturing of electric and telecomcables, Liban Cables is the first and largest supplier inLebanon and a leader in the Middle-East region.

Liban Cables was founded in 1967 by a group ofLebanese industrialists backed up by the technicalassistance of two international leading firms :

- Les Cables de Lyon - France (became A L C AT E L afterwards

and NEXANS by end 2000)

- Phelps Dodge - U.S.A.

S t a ffed with qualified engineers and highly skilledtechnicians, our plant is located in Nahr-Ibrahim at 30Km from Beirut, where cables are designed andmanufactured according to all internationalspecifications : IEC, VDE, UTE, BS and others oncustomer request.

Early after its foundation, Liban Cables has become themajor supplier of the Lebanese market in both the publicand private sectors. The product range of Liban Cablescovers all Copper and Aluminium electric cables, aswell as copper and fiber optic communication cables, inaddition to a wide variety of special cablesmanufactured on customer request.

High quality cables, continuous developments of theproduction range, direct and fast shipments havecontributed in rendering Liban Cables an importantexporter for many countries on the three limitrophecontinents (Asia, Europe, Africa). Liban Cablesproducts are particularly appreciated by administrationsand international contractors operating in the region andseeking reliable and direct supplies of power andcommunication cables.

Step by step, from raw material to final product, quality constitutes a major concern toLiban Cables.

Raw material are continuously and repetitively tested from trial orders till the last batchreceived afterwards.

Products are tested within two simultaneous procedures :

- A built in quality control system carried out by the production itself at any step of workin process.

- A parallel and contradictory procedure is also carried out on the same stages andproducts by independent inspectors reporting to the quality control service.

End users and/or third part inspection authorities are also constantly commissioning thefinished products and assessing the strict conformity to ordered specifications.

In fact, our ISO 9001 certification stated in Feb 1997 by the International CertificationNetwork (EQNET) is certified by the French Association for Quality Assurance (AFAQ),the well known rigourous and independant accredited European assessor. T h i scertification, which upgraded to ISO 9001:2000 on February 2003, under referenceA FAQ Nº QUAL / 1997 / 7034 a, confirms the soundness and the performance of theQuality System we apply for the Design, the Development, the Manufacturing and theMarketing & Sales of all our products.

For prompt quotation / supplies, please make sure your inquiries and your orders aresecuring the following data :

1 - International or Special Standard. (Alternatively, the precise usage of the cable.)

2 - Constructional details (Materials, Pairs / Quads, Mutual Capacitance, Filling,

Screens, Armour, Messenger ...etc).
