RT/F3 E1/E2/E3 Type Axle Counter Cable

Application

The cables are designed for transmission of signals up to 90 kHz in axle counter train detection systems.

Standard

  • RT/E/PS/00031

Cable Construction

RT/F3 E1/E2/E3 Type Axle Counter Cable Railway Cable
Conductors Tinned copper, 0.9/1.4 mm nominal diameter.
Insulation Solid polyethylene.
Cabling Element Two insulated conductors are twisted together to form a pair.
Stranding Pairs are helically stranded in concentric layers.
Filling Cable core interstices are filled with a low-permitivity compound. Unfi lled cables option can be offered upon request.
Core Wrapping Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
Moisture Barrier One laminated sheath made of aluminium tape coated with PE Copolymer on at least one side is applied with longitudinally overlap.
Inner Sheath Polyethylene or LSZH fi re retardant compound.
Electrostatic Shield One layer of helically applied copper wires.
Electromagnetic Shield Two helically applied steel tapes.
Outer Sheath Polyethylene or LSZH fi re retardant compound. Ruggedised PE sheath compound can be offered upon request.
