High-Voltage 26kv and 45kv Cables We manufacture high-voltage 26kV and 45kV cables for connections to roofmounted pantographs and the on-board transformer. These cables include flexible conductors and particular characteristics specific to their installation in reduced spaces. For high voltage connection of pantograph and transformer on board electric railway engines Designed to be used with limited bending radii, easy to handle and with specific features against UV rays and to withstand any environmental conditions. 7
Goods Transferral Intermodal Area Cables Intermodal area cables include copper conductors, but can be produced with aluminium conductors or steel cores covered with extruded aluminium. Rail facilities are increasingly integrating with intermodal areas where goods are transferred from one vehicle to another with large lifting structures. Our special intermodal area cables are ideal for powering and controlling these lifting structures, and for signals. High-Speed Railway Control And Signalling Cables Telecommunications cables with copper conductors and optic fibres can be produced with extruded aluminium sheaths, longitudinal aluminium tapes,steel wire armour or arc-welded corrugated steel tapes. High-speed railway systems require controlling devices that adopt state-ofthe-art technologies. All their components, including control and signalling cables, must guarantee the maximum level of safety in data transmission, and our control and signalling cables ensure this. 8
Telecommunications Cables Telecommunications cables with copper conductors and optic fibres are produced with extruded aluminium sheaths, longitudinal aluminium tapes,steel wire armour or arc-welded corrugated steel tapes and nonmetallic special materials for the protection of insulation and sheaths. When included at the planning stage, all these elements give cables the relevant characteristics, such as specific resistance to impacts and heavy pressure; protection against humidity and liquids; fire resistance; and antirodent protection. All of these are necessary when cables have to be installed in particularly harsh environments. Our railway cables can be customised to their application. 9
