General Cable, a world leader in the cable sector, has recently issued a new catalogue of cables specifically aimed at the railway infrastructure sector. The railway sector is expected to grow intensely in the coming years because of commitment by governments and authorities to this means of transport, and particularly to underground, tram and high-speed train networks.
The catalogue includes 12 abundantly illustrated pages with a modern graphic design, and shows full details of the company’s range of cables for this sector, which are designed to make railway transport safe, and prevent technical problems that may cause delays, accident hazards and significant economic losses. General Cable is therefore a key railway sector supplier and able to provide all the equipment necessary for any infrastructure project.
The company supplies all types of cables and energy, signalling and communications components. For electrification systems, for example, it offers catenary cables, feeders and different low-, medium- and high-voltage cables. It also provides balise cables for the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) and for signalling supplies multi-conductor, multi-pair, and quad cables with advanced solutions to prevent problems of electromagnetic interference.
The company also supplies fibre optic telecommunications cables, telephone cables, data cables and components for structured cabling systems for local area networks used in railway stations. For GSM-R wireless communication systems it also supplies radiating coaxial cable and its connectorisation and anchoring components. General Cable helps to enhance the safety of these transport infrastructures with its halogen-free, low smoke resistance and high fire resistance cables.
The catalogue features details of the main technical characteristics of each cable and shows an image of its cross-section. The information also comes with a description of the company’s corporate profile, its presence worldwide, its business philosophy and its commitment to innovation.
