TYPE A1, A2 & A3 Railway Signalling Cable
Application
The cables are designed for railway signalling systems. The cables are suitable for use in d.c. circuits where the nominal voltage to earth does not exceed 1100 volts and are suitable for installation in ducts.
Standards
- NR/PS/SIG/00005(formerly RT/E/PS/00005)
Construction
- Conductors: Tinned stranded copper, class 2 according to IEC 60228 & BS 6360.
- Insulation: LSZH crosslinked.
- Core Wrapping: Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
- Sheath: LSZH (for types A2 & A3 only).
