About us
Gulf Cable and Electrical Industries Co. K.S.C.P was established in 1975 with objective of meeting
growing local and export markets requirements, it owns two factories one located in Kuwait the
other in Jordan. Our Vision is to be the leader of Gulf and Middle East region in manufacturing and
supplying Cables and Conductors. Through continuous improvements driven by the integrity,
teamwork and innovation, we are committed to provide such a Quality that:
Our products are designed and manufactured to meet the needs of the Local, regional and
International markets. All our products meet the respective world standards.
We handle all available means for exporting products - land, marine and air.
We are also equipped to meet all export requirements and formalities in the local Arab markets,
including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan , Iraq and MENA.
Opportunities to Export to Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and other countries worldwide will also be
available soon.
We have developed and established communication channels with our customers through which,
we constantly get updates and feedbacks on their stated / implied needs and problems. Based on
this information, we have devised new modalities to provide better service to our valued
customers. Thus, we not only provide Quality Products, but also offer a host of related services
before and after the sale.
On a regular basis, we develop new products and enhance our existing ones. We are proud to
introduce our new range of Halogen Free Cables.
As you will turn to the following pages, you will appreciate that we have enhanced our in house test
facility to add a whole range of Fire Test apparatus.

this phenomenon had been taken as a natural occurrence which is uncontrollable and it is one's
fortune – good or bad that controls the damage. Since last decade and half, this status has
changed though. Global awareness regarding Safety, Heath and Environment has been on the
rise. Cable industry is making notable advances in products and standards in order to address
the related issues. Halogen free cables are example of contribution by cable industry towards the
global efforts.
For several years, PVC has been the most widely used Insulation / Sheathing material for the
most common types of cables. Because of it's good electrical + physical properties and easy

rendered by presence of Chlorine, a member of Halogen family. However, PVC burns readily, and
when it does, it gives out large amount of dense black smoke along with vast quantities of
Hydrogen Chloride gas.
Thus, the damage caused by burning PVC is two-fold; Firstly, dense black smoke obscures exit
routes. Just to give a broad idea, approximately 6/7 kgs of PVC will produce complete obscurity
in a room of 1000 cubic meters by the time it is totally burnt.
Hydrogen Chloride is a very toxic and corrosive gas. When mixed with even small amounts of
water, like the moisture found in lungs, eyes, and throats, it turns into acid. These chemical
reactions can disorient and injure people who are trying to escape a blaze. Clearly, this creates

Further the acid gas permeates electronic equipments, causing random, unpredictable failures in
computers, security/access control equipments, building management systems, lifts and just

minutes with no great risk to life, secondary damage that can be caused to instrumentation,
equipments and building structure can be colossal.

Measure of Flammability:
Oxygen Index : Oxygen Index is the minimum concentration of Oxygen expressed as volume %

room temperature. Any material which ignites in normal atmosphere have Oxygen index less than
or equal to 21, volume pe cent of Oxygen in atmosphere.
A material which can not be ignited in normal atmospheric conditions, can still support combustion
if concentration of Oxygen is more than 21.
Temperature Index : Oxygen index of a material tends to decrease with increase in
temperature. It is, therefore possible to extrapolate the temperature where Oxygen index of the
same will be reduced to 21. The material will then burn at such temperature under normal
concentration of Oxygen in atmosphere. This particular temperature is referred as "Temperature
index" of the material.
Gulf Cable's Halogen free cables have oxygen index of the order of 30% and
