APPLICATIONS

The cables are designed for connection between traffic control centers and equipment shelters along the trackside. The cables are specially designed to give good induction protection (R.F= 0.26 at inductive voltage 100V/km) and are suitable for installation in intercity railways electrifi ed at 25KV ac.

STANDARDS

SNCF CT 445 / SNCT ST 698G

NF F 55-698

CONSTRUCTION

Conductors : Solid annealed copper, 1.0/1.5 mm² nominal cross section area.

Insulation : Solid polyethylene.

Cabling Element : Each two conductors are twisted together to form a pair.

Stranding : Pairs are helically stranded in layers to form the cable core.

Core Wrapping : Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.

Inner Sheath : PE sheath. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

Electrostatic Shield : One corrugated copper tape.

Intermediate Sheath : PE/PVC sheath. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

Electromagnetic Shield : Two helically applied steel tapes of 0.5mm.

Outer Sheath : PE/PVC Sheath. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

Remarks : ZPAU : PE/PVC Sheath; ZPAU-SH : LSZH Sheath.
