Applications :

• The cables are used as balise cables for ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) railway networks. The cables are armoured and can provide low reduction factor.

Standards :

• CEI 20-11
• CEI 20-14
• CEI 20-29
• CEI 20-34
• CEI 46-4
• CEI 103-10

 

Construction :

• Conductors : Solid annealed copper, 1.6 mm nominal diameter.
• Insulation : Solid polyethylene.
• Stranding : Conductors will be stranded with dielectric fi llers in order to get a circular core shape.
• Core Wrapping : Plastic tape (s) with overlapping.
• Inner Sheath : Low density polyethylene.
• Screen : Aluminium/polyethylene tape longitudinally applied and overlapped.
• Drain Wire : Tinned copper drain wire.
• Intermediate Sheath : Low density polyethylene.
• Armour : Two galvanized steel tapes.
• Outer Sheath : Low density polyethylene.
