French Optical Cable Project
project is to build an FTTH (Fibre to the Home, connecting optical cables to homes) communication network throughout France by 2025. LS Cable & System has been participating in this project and supplying optical. The historic, next-generation 550km cable is the first fibre-optic subsea cable to be built across the English Channel in nearly twenty years and will connect Slough, United Kingdom and Paris, France. The national digital connectivity programme 'France Très Haut Débit' sets a target of fibre for all. In March 2025, Nexans signed a framework agreement with RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) worth above €1 billion for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) export and land cables serving multiple offshore wind farms.
