Railways

Our comprehensive range of railway and underground cables covers all functionalities and can be used to operate in nearly all railway cabling infrastructures.

They are suitable for any power and communication system, as well as signalling and control devices that operate - amongst other functions - track switches and optical signalling systems, the backhaul of actuators and the control loops in conventional or electronic track-control centres.

From basic telephone services to more complex applications like axle counter loops, linear or point-wise train information exchange and the use of advanced European train control systems, our cable networks cover the broadest range of applications.

In railway applications, cables are often installed in highly challenging conditions such as tunnels and deep underground lines. It’s crucial that they do not increase fire-related hazards and that they ensure the proper running of safety devices under extreme circumstances.

Prysmian’s LS0H cables comply with the very highest international standards. We offer a full range of cables specifically developed for underground lines and tunnels. In these types of installations, emergency exits and vital emergency-services apparatus must operate properly under fire conditions, for long enough to allow people to evacuate and permit the intervention of fire-fighters.

For these applications, Prysmian offers a complete range of cables, which exceed the most severe fire-resistance standards, even for communication purposes.

Prysmian Group produces tailored cables and solutions for major railway operators, such as Deutsche Bahn AG (Germany), RENFE (Spain), SNCF (France), RFI (Italy), SBB (Switzerland), Irish Rail (Ireland), CFR (Romania), MÁV (Hungary), Jernbaneverket (Norway), TCDD (Turkey), and New York City Transit (USA).
