RT/F3 E1/E2/E3 Type Axle Counter Cable
Application
The cables are designed for transmission of signals up to 90 kHz in axle counter train detection systems.
Standards
● RT/E/PS/00031
Construction
Conductors
Tinned copper wire, 0.9 or 1.4 mm nominal diameter.
Insulation
Solid polyethylene.
Cabling Element
Two insulated conductors are twisted together to form a pair.
Stranding

Filling
Cable core interstices are fi lled with a low-permitivity compound. Unfi lled cables option can be offered upon
request.
Core Wrapping
Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
Moisture Barrier
One laminated sheath made of aluminium tape coated with PE-Copolymer on at least one side is applied with longitudinally overlap.
Inner Sheath
Polyethylene or LSZH fi re retardant compound.
Electrostatic Shield
One layer of helically applied copper wires.
Electromagnetic Shield
Two helically applied steel tapes.
Outer Sheath
Polyethylene or LSZH fi re retardant compound. Ruggedised PE sheath compound can be offered upon request.
