RT/F3 D & S & B type Axle Counter Cable

 

Applications :

  • The cables are designed for transmission of signals up to 90 kHz in axle counter train detection systems.

Standards :

  • RT/E/PS/00031
 

 

Construction :

  • Conductors : Tinned copper, 0.9/1.4 mm nominal diameter.
  • Insulation : Solid polyethylene.
  • Cabling Element : Two insulated conductors are twisted together to form a pair.
  • Stranding : Pairs are helically stranded in concentric layers.
  • Filling : Cable core interstices are filled with a low-permitivity compound. Unfi lled cables option can be offered upon request.
  • Core Wrapping : Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
  • Moisture Barrier : One laminated sheath made of aluminium tape coated with PECopolymer on at least one side is applied with longitudinally overlap.
  • Inner Sheath (for S/B type) : Polyethylene or LSZH fi re retardant compound.
  • Mechanical Protection (for S/B type) : One corrugated steel tape or brass tape is longitudinally applied with overlap. Unarmoured cables option can be offered upon request.
  • Outer Sheath : Polyethylene or LSZH fi re retardant compound. Ruggedised PE sheath compound can be offered upon request.

Type Codes :

  • F1 class : Non LSZH cables.
    F5 class : Unfi lled cables
    D type Unarmoured types
    R type : Ruggedised PE sheath
    S type : Steel tape armoured types
    B type : Brass tape armoured types
    E1, E2 & E3 types : 3 different induction protection levels available.
