ZPFU & ZPFU-SH Main & Local Signalling Cables (DC Electrifi ed Lines)

Application

ZPFU & ZPFU-SH Main & Local Signalling Cables are designed for the main signalling circuits of 1500V DC

electrifi ed lines.

Reference Standards

SNCF CT 445

NF F 55-698

Construction

ZPFU & ZPFU-SH Main & Local Signalling Cables (DC Electrifi ed Lines)

Conductors: Solid annealed copper, 1.0mm² nominal cross section area.

Insulation: Solid polyethylene.

Cabling Element: Two conductors are twisted to form a pair.

Stranding: Pairs are helically stranded to form the cable core.

Core Wrapping: Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.

Inner Sheath: PE. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

Mechanical Protection: Two helically applied steel tapes (0.15, 0.2/0.5mm, depending on pair count).

Outer Sheath: PE/PVC. LSZH FR option can be offered upon request to NF C 32 070.2.2 (C1).

Remarks: ZPFU: PE/PVC Sheath; ZPFU-SH: LSZH Sheath.
