HOMEPRODUCTS RAILWAY CABLES

 

EUROBALISE BGA

 

Application:

The cables are used as balise cables for ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) railway networks. The cables are armoured and can provide low reduction factor.

Standards:

CEI 20-11

CEI 20-14

CEI 20-29

CEI 20-34

CEI 46-4

CEI 103-10

Construction:

EUROBALISE BGA

Conductors: Solid annealed copper, 1.6 mm nominal diameter.

Insulation: Solid polyethylene.

Stranding: Conductors will be stranded with dielectric fi llers in order to get a circular core shape.

Core Wrapping: Plastic tape (s) with overlapping.

Inner Sheath: Low density polyethylene.

Screen: Aluminium/polyethylene tape longitudinally applied and overlapped.

Drain Wire: Tinned copper drain wire

Intermediate Sheath: Low density polyethylene.

Armour: Two galvanized steel tapes.

Outer Sheath: Low density polyethylene.
