Railway Cables

G7622 Trackside Communications Cables

Application

The cables are designed for installation in trackside bracket runs and for use within railway equipment rooms within open locations (type 1) or in subsurface tunnels and underground locations (type 2).

Standards

● LUL Spec G7622 A1 type 1 (for PVC sheath)
● LUL Spec G7622 A1 type 2 (for LSZH sheath)

Construction

Conductors
Solid plain copper, 0.63/0.9 mm nominal diameter.

Insulation
Cellular polyethylene.

Cabling Element
Four insulated conductors are twisted together to form a quad.

Stranding
Conductors are helically stranded in concentric layers.

Core Wrapping
Plastic tape (s) with overlapping.

Moisture Barrier
One laminated sheath made of aluminium tape (0.15mm thick) coated with PE-Copolymer on at least one side is applied with longitudinally overlap.

Outer Sheath
LSZH sheath, coloured violet.

Optional

Type 1 Cables: For type 1 cables, additional foil (at least one polyester tape) and PVC sheath are applied over the
LSZH sheath. (VDE Code: A-02Y(L)HY)
Armoured Cables: Corrugated steel tape armour is applied with an overlap over LSZH sheath. An outer LSZH
sheath is applied over the armour. (VDE Code: A-02Y(L)H(SR)H)
