ZPFU & ZPFU-SH Main & Local Signalling Cables (DC Electrified Lines)
Application
The cables are designed for the main signalling circuits of 1500V DC electrifi ed lines.
Standard
- SNCF CT 445
- NF F 55-698
Cable Construction
 |
 |
- Conductors: Solid annealed copper, 1.0mm² nominal cross section area.
- Insulation: Solid polyethylene.
- Cabling Element: Each two conductors are twisted together to form a pair.
- Stranding: Pairs are helically stranded in layers to form the cable core.
- Core Wrapping: Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
- Inner Sheath: PE sheath. 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).
- Remark: ZPFU: PE/PVC Sheath; ZPFU-SH: LSZH Sheath.
