PE Insulated Air Core/Jelly Filled Star Quad Railway Signalling Cables to VDE 0816/DIN 57816

PE Insulated Air CoreJelly Filled Star Quad Railway Signalling Cables to VDE 0816DIN 57816

Application The cables are designed to give good protection to the core against inductive interference. The cables are used for outdoor signaling equipment.
Standards VDE 0816/DIN 57816
Construction
Conductors:  Solid annealed bare copper 0.9/1.4mm as per ASTM B-3/IEC 60228 Class 1
Insulation:  Solid polyethylene as per ASTM D 1248/IEC 60708
Cabling Element: Four insulated conductors are twisted together to form a quad
Cable Core Assembly: The cores are cabled together in concentric layers to form the cable core. Units are identified by colour coded binders
Core Wrapping: One or more non-hygroscopic polyester tapes are helically or longitudinally laid with an overlap
Electrostatic Screen: Copper tape or copper wire braid with wire diameter of 0.12mm
Bedding: PE or LSZH
Electrostatic Armour: Two steel tapes of 0.5mm or 0.8mm are helically applied with gap. The outer tape will cover the gap left by the inner one
Sheath: PE/PVC or LSZH
Ripcord: Nylon ripcord may be placed parallel to the cores to facilitate sheath removal
