FAQ
Railway Cables — common questions
What are railway cables?
Railway cables for signalling, power, telecom, rolling stock, metro systems and trackside infrastructure. They are built to EN 50264, EN 50306, EN 45545, BS 6853.
Which standards do railway cables comply with?
UE Cable railway cables are manufactured and tested to EN 50264, EN 50306, EN 45545, BS 6853. The exact standard for each construction is stated on its specification sheet.
What sizes and configurations are available?
9 construction families are catalogued under railway cables, each offered across a range of conductor sizes and core or pair counts. Open any specification sheet for the exact conductor size, voltage, operating temperature, current rating, overall diameter and weight.
Can railway cables be custom-made, and how fast is a quote?
Yes. UE Cable manufactures to customer specification — conductor, insulation, screen, armour, sheath, colour, printing and packing. Send your requirement through the inquiry list and we typically reply within 6 hours with price, lead time and test documentation.
