Huber+Suhner Present New Thin Wall Signalling Cables

Oct. 30, 2014
New generation of Radox cable offers thin, lightweight cables with extreme resistance to chemical, electrical and mechanical loads.

Huber+Suhner presents its latest generation of Radox EN 50306 300V and Radox Tenuis-TW 600V cable families with new electron-beam crosslinked insulation materials. The company is responding to current market demands and using its many years of experience in the development and production of cables for the railway market. These products arestable under extreme loads.

As the amount of electrical equipment installed in trains rises, so does the need for an increasing number of cables. Today, there can be between 40 and 80 km of cable installed per 100 metre length of train. This makes use of space and weight of cabling a critical factor. As a result there is a high demand for cable that is as thin-walled and lightweight as possible, without reduction in the required fire protection.

Huber+Suhner’s new generation of cable families, the Radox EN 50306 300V and Radox Tenius-TW 600V are a direct response to this market demand. The extremely thin and light products are insulated with Radox EI 306 electron-beam crosslinked material and Radox EM 104 sheath material.
