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 certification stated in February 1997 and renewed in February 2000 bythe International Certification Network (EQNET) is certified by the French A s s o c i a t i o nfor Quality Assurance (AFAQ), the well known rigourous and independant A c c r e d i t e dEuropean assessor. This certification, under reference A FAQ Nº QUAL / 1997 / 7034,confirms the soudness and the performance of the Quality System we apply for theDesign, the Development, the Manufacturing and the Marketing & Sales of all ourproducts.

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 1968 by a group ofLebanese industrialists backed up by the technicalassistance of two international leading firms :
- Les Cables de Lyon - France (became ALCATEL afterwards)
- Phelps Dodge - U.S.A
Staffed 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 thepublic and private sectors. The product range of LibanCables covers all electric cables up to 36 KV,communications cables (copper and optical fiber) 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.

4.3 DETERMINATION OF THE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA
The determination of the cross sectional area depends on the :
- Current carrying capacities in continuous loading,- Voltage drop in continuous loading- Permissible short-circuit current,- Conditions of installation (temperature, spacing, ...).
4.4 CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITIES
The heat produced by the cable under the set conditions must be able to dissipate to theambient environment at any point of the cable installation; therefore the loading of thecable must be limited accordingly. The current carrying capacities shown in theelectrical characteristics tables are calculated according to the internationally adoptedmethod of the IEC publication 60287 for a maximum core temperature of 70˚C forPVC insulated cables and 90˚C for XLPE insulated cables, at the following installationconditions :
4.4.1. BURIED CABLES
The stated values are for cables or ducts placed in the ground at a depth of 600 mm ofaverage thermal resistivity of 100˚C.cm/w and spaced so that the temperature rise ineach duct has no effect on the other ducts ( space being greater than 1 meter ), for a soiltemperature of 20˚C.
