Rolling Stock Cables
Welcome to Caledonian dedicated web site for Rolling stock cables. Rolling stock cables are designed to function properly also during the fire. The emission of smoke in this situation is free from corrosive gas and to help those working towards fire safety in the built environment.
This covers rolling stock for underground, mass transit lines and tramlines as well as diesel and regional trains. The increSasing need to reduce both volume and weight has lead to the development of miniaturized cables, as well as high temperature cables with enhanced performance. This leads to highly stressed materials being used in the harsh environment of rolling stock. Caledonian provides a full range of products from Medium Voltage to Low Voltage cables, and from Standard Wall, Medium Wall to Thin Wall designs. The materials used have been specially developed to improve mechanical and thermal properties, fire performance and extended life using advanced technologies, such as electron beam irradiation and silan.
New challenges in the rolling stock industry must be met due to long-awaited equipment upgrades,
booming
freight traffic and high-speed train projects, and the growing need for conventional subways,
fully-automated metros,and lightrail
suburban vehicles worldwide. Caledonian manufactures
