ZPFU & ZPFU-SH Main & Local Signalling Cables
(DC Electrifi ed Lines)
Application
The cables are designed for the main signalling circuits of 1500V DC electrifi ed lines.
Standards
SNCF CT 445
NF F 55-698
Construction
Conductors: Solid annealed copper, 1.0mm² nominal cross section area.
Insulation: Solid polyethylene.
Cabling Element: Two conductors are twisted to form a pair.
Stranding: Pairs are helically stranded to form the cable core.
Core Wrapping: Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
Inner Sheath: PE. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).
Mechanical Protection: Two helically applied steel tapes (0.15, 0.2/0.5mm, depending on pair count).
Outer Sheath: PE/PVC. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).
Remarks: ZPFU: PE/PVC Sheath; ZPFU-SH: LSZH Sheath.
