28. EN 50264

Caledonian standard wall and medium wall rolling stock cables conform to EN 50264 for use in power cars(The

corresponding French railway standard is NF F 63826), diesel-electric locomotives, electric and diesel multiple

units EMU / DMU, high- capacity rails, mono rail and light rail vehicles, sleeping cars and passenger coaches.

FIREROL is a kind of widely used rolling stock cables.

Application:

- FIREROL wires combine the advantages of small size, lightweight, high oil resistance, halogen free, high

mechanical properties. They are recommended for installation in railway vehicles (locomotives, trains,

trolleybuses...).

- A 120°C conductor temperature is allowed for a 20000 hours cumulative working time.

The external sheath is mineral oil and fuel oil resistant, ozone and UV resistant.

Conductors:

Flexible stranded tinned copper class 5 according to IEC 60228 with optional separator tape. Conductor

temperature +90 °C

Standard:

EN 50264-1: General requirements applicable to cables, including detailed requirement for the insulating and

sheathing materials
