Cable protection for railway and rolling stock
Coach builders and their suppliers route cables under floors, through bogies and along roofs, where vibration, water and fire rules all apply. Our group has supplied the railway sector for years: S.D. Enterprises, our group manufacturing company, has held RDSO approval since 2018.
What goes wrong with cables in railway
Fire and smoke rules
Rolling stock needs flame-retardant, halogen-free materials.
Constant vibration
Cables under the coach rub against brackets for millions of kilometres.
Water, ballast and dust
Underfloor runs are exposed to spray, stones and dirt.
