complete range of cable solutions and services worldwide

Along with highways, air, and

sea, rail provides sustainable

travel, including energy

efficiency for mass suburban

commuting, freight transport,

and high speed links for

intercity corridors. In recent

years, mobility needs have

stimulated rolling stock orders,

including high-speed trains,

electrical multiple units

(EMUs), locomotives and

metros. Growth is likely to

average 2 to 2.5 % annually,

and total market volume

is expected to reach over

40 billion euros per annum

by 2016.

European rail renewal,

emerging economies, and

international sporting events

continue to drive rolling stock

growth. In France, Germany,

Russia and South Africa

railways are being upgraded

(especially regional lines).

China is targeting railways

to lift the economy, and India

has approved some 500 rail

projects. Meanwhile, the Olympic

Games and the FIFA World

Cup have stimulated growth

in the UK and Brazil, and 150

million-plus cities are looking

to rail to resolve urban congestion

and facilitate inter-city travel.

over 80 % of the cables used

for major projects like

Bombardier’s Intercity AGC

and the high-altitude Tibet

Line, Alstom’s two-level

RGV2N TGV, and Siemens

VAL 208 driverless metro,

often consolidating supply

and subsystems in order to

eliminate the need for multiple

sub-contractors.

Our FLAMEX® cable solutions

include power cables for locos,

EMUs, and self-propelled bogies,

like the Alstom AGV which

offers speeds up to 360 km/h.

We developed high-temperature

solutions for locomotives,

high-voltage connectivity

between pantograph and

transformers, and low-voltage

power for cars. Control cables

assure operational performance

and safety, while data cables

provide surveillance, video and

Internet. Cable harnesses and

jumper cables include optical

fiber in hybrid cable systems.

POWER CABLES

Rolling stock power cables

A wide range of flexible, Class

5/6, tinned copper single and

multi-core rubber cables to

meet the power needs, with fire

resistance for circuit integrity,

if needed.

Power cables for TRAXX loco-

motives built by Bombardier,

used across the world for both

freight and passenger variants.

Very low- and high-

temperature power cables

for locos and drives

To deal with extreme temperatures

and weight constraints, light and

compact silicone cables can

operate in temperatures from

-50° C to 150° C (tested to

-60° C and 200° C).

Used on Alstom’s new AGV which

has distributed traction with motors

under passenger wagons,

or on Bombardier’s Spacium

high-capacity commuter trains.

Silicone motor

connection wires

For high-voltage machines,

transformers, motors and

generators, where high-

temperatures prevail and

flexibility is required, with good

abrasion resistance and high

tear-resistant performance.

Allowing smaller conductors, and

thus weight savings, they are

used on Alstom’s locomotives.

HV connection cables,

bushings, connectors

Carrying electricity from the

pantograph to the locomotive’s

transformer, flexible HV cables

(up to 45 kV) can be supplied

as a pre-mounted, pre-tested

set with bushings and

connectors.

For Bombardier’s Regina high-

speed trains, the solution included

initial measurements, technical

drawings, pre-installation with

terminations and tests.

CONTROL CABLES

Standard, thin-walled, ultra

thin-walled control cables

Single or multi-core, shielded

or unsheilded, for all command

and surveillance functions: doors,

lighting, converters/transformers.

Fire-resistant cables ensure

circuit integrity.

Used in intercity and mass transit,

like Siemens fully-automated,

driverless people mover,

the VAL 208.

DATA CABLES

Databus cables
