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=0.21 at inductive voltage 100V/km) and are suitable for installation in high speed railway lines electrifi ed at 25KV ac.

STANDARDS

NF F 55-698

CONSTRUCTION

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

Insulation : Solid polyethylene.

Cabling Element : Four conductors are twisted to form a quad.

Stranding : Quads are helically stranded to get the cable core.

Core Wrapping : Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.

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

Electrostatic Shield : Corrugated copper tape.

Intermediate Sheath : Low density polyethylene. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

Electromagnetic Shield : Two helically applied steel tapes (0.5mm).

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

Remarks : ZCO3 : PE/PVC Sheath ; ZCO3-SH : LSZH Sheath.
