Nexans continues to lead in electrical innovation with the launch of Nexans DISTINGO™ — the coloured stripe that helps distinguish the conductor size and identify the active core on the cable.
Designed to enhance the installation experience on the award-winning MOBIWAY BOOST spool system, this simple yet smart solution is tailored for both residential and commercial sectors, reinforcing Nexans’ commitment to supporting tradespeople with smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions.
The Nexans DISTINGO™ coloured stripe delivers an instant visual cue, helping electrical contractors and installers to work with greater confidence and speed. Whether it’s wiring complex switchboards or navigating tight project timelines, Nexans DISTINGO™ removes ambiguity and reduces physical and mental strain on the job.
Now integrated in Current (1mm, 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 4mm, 6mm), Switch (1mm, 1.5mm), and Climate (1.5mm) cable types on the MOBIWAY BOOST spool system, Nexans DISTINGO™ meets the toughest demands on site.
Nexans asked Sparkies to tell us what slows them down:
- “Would be helpful to see what cables you have in the van. It happened the other day, they wondered if they had the cable or not. I like to line up all the active facing one side, so this will help a lot.”
- “It is a good idea in low light conditions. It can be helpful with 4mm and 6 mm — they are hard to tell apart.”
- “It would be really good for the apprentices, I just have to tell them to get the one with the blue line. It will save a lot of confusion.”
- “I like that the stripe is on the active side of the cable — that will make it easier when I line up all the cables.”
By introducing the distinct active core striping, Nexans DISTINGO™ enables instant identification of conductor size and active core position. In low-light or crowded conditions, the visual stripe is faster and more reliable than printed markings, which can fade or wear off over time.
As always, Nexans has responded to real jobsite challenges with a practical, well-considered solution that makes every day electrical work faster and safer.
