Beirut, February 12, 2024 – Liban Cables, a Nexans company, the leading provider of advanced cabling systems, solutions and innovative services, launched a 360° Anti-Counterfeiting Campaign aimed at raising awareness on the risks of using counterfeit cables. This strategic endeavor, specifically addressing the escalating danger of counterfeit cables, underlines Liban Cables commitment to deliver safe and high-quality products.
In the face of a rising tide of counterfeit cables, threatening safety and reputation, Liban Cables demonstrates its determination to protect its customers from potentially harmful, substandard products. This disturbing trend is a prevalent issue in Lebanon, that has been intensified over the past three years and imposed a major threat. When it comes to counterfeit and substandard cables, the most important risk is cheating on the quantity of copper, which can have dramatic consequences. By reducing the diameter of the copper conductor, counterfeit cables can become abnormally hot when current is passed through them and cause a overcharge and a fire outbreak.

As part of its strategy of providing value-added services to its customers, Liban Cables by Nexans unveils a state-of-the-arttechnology integrated to the Nexans app, available for iOS and Android. By adopting the mobile authentication technology, customers or distributors can scan and verify the authenticity of a product with any smartphone.

Embracing the anti-counterfeiting campaign actively contributes to fostering a safer and more secure environment.” said Raja Melki, Marketing Manager at Liban Cables.
