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

G7622 Trackside Communications Cables

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)
