Railway Cables

Digicode 30KHz Indoor Signalling Cables

Application

The cables are designed for transmission of track circuit digicode signals up to 30 kHz in electrifi ed lines.

Standards

● EN 50266-2-4 & IEC 60332-3(Fire performance)
● EN 50268-2(Smoke density)
● EN 50267-2-1(Halogen content)
● EN 50267-2-2(Gases acidity)
● EN 50265-2-1, IEC 60332-1, NFC 32070 Cat C2 compliant (for PVC sheathed cables)

Construction

Conductors
Solid Annealed copper, 1.4 mm nominal diameter (0.6 mm for the auxiliary pair).

Insulation
Polyethylene.

Cabling Element
Two insulated conductors are twisted together to form a pair.

Stranding
Pairs are helically stranded to get the cable core.

Core Wrapping
Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.

Inner Sheath
Low density polyethylene.

Moisture Barrier
Copolymer coated laminated aluminium tape.

Intermediate Sheath
LSZH fi re retardant compound. PE or PVC option can be offered upon request.

Mechanical Protection
Two helically applied steel tapes.

Outer Sheath
LSZH fi re retardant compound. PE or PVC option can be offered upon request.
