Railway Cables

SXCAV & SXCAG Signalling Cables

Application

The cables are designed for connection between switching centers and equipment shelters along the trackside. The cables are used as main signalling cables specially designed to give good induction protection (R.F=0.24 at inductive voltage 170 V/km) and are suitable for installation in intercity railways electrifi ed at 25KV ac.

Standards

● SXCAV SXCAG Specifi cation
● Fire performance: EN 50266-2-4 C

Construction

Conductors
Class 1 solid bare copper conductor.

Insulation
Coloured cross-linked PE insulation.

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.

Electrostatic Shield
One corrugated copper tape.

Intermediate Sheath
PE sheath.

Electromagnetic Shield
Two helically applied steel tapes.

Outer Sheath
Black unleaded PVC (SXCAV) or green halogen free (SXCAG) sheath.
