Smoke, with its toxic and corrosive effects, is the real culprit in fire fatalities and can be a barrier to safe egress n confined or limited space areas. Low smoke, Halogen-Free, GEXOL-HF should be used in the living quarters / crew area to insure safe egress of personnel during a fire. GEXOL-HF also does not produce corrosive gases during a fire that might damage electronic equipment.

AmerCable Awarded Cable Contract with Keppel Offshore & Marine for Revolution Wind Offshore Electrical Substations
AmerCable will provide GEXOL® 331-HF fire resistant, low smoke halogen-free (LSHF) cables for Revolution Wind’s two electrical substations built by Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd. This 704MW project, a 50/50 joint venture partnership between Ørsted U.S. Offshore Wind and Eversource Energy, is located off the U.S. Eastern Seaboard 15 miles south of Rhode Island and 32 miles east of Connecticut. The Keppel O&M substations are scheduled to be completed in 2024 and, when the project is complete, will generate clean energy for 350,000 East Coast homes.
