MD4 Medium Distance Trackside Telecom Cables

The cables are designed for long distance of over 10km telecommunications alongside railway lines.

Insulat ion: Coloured sol id polyethylene.
Cabling Element: Four conductors are twisted together to form a quad.
Possible Harness: Aluminium screen.
Filling: Petroleum jelly.
Screen: PE-copolymer coated aluminium tape.
Drain Wire: Tinned drain wire.
Inner Sheath: Low density polyethylene.
Screen: One corrugated copper tape.
Intermediate Sheath: Low density polyethylene.
Armour: Two helically applied steel tapes.
Outer Sheath: Low density polyethylene.
Optional
CT2329 Type (Branch Cables): For CT 2329 type, the cables have PE inner sheath, double corrugated steel tapes armour and PE outer sheath, without aluminium tape screen & copper tape.
