Typical applications of CABLES FOR RAILWAYS

Select...
Onboard train Control circuits Passenger comfort and auxiliary services

Onboard train power distribution
Cables routing power throughout the train for traction motors, lighting, HVAC, and passenger services. They must be highly flexible, flame-retardant, and resistant to constant vibration to ensure safety and reliability.

Signaling and control circuits
Cables connecting track-side signals, switches, and detection blocks. They require high immunity to EMI and harsh environmental conditions to guarantee the fail-safe transmission of critical data for train spacing and route integrity.

Passenger comfort and auxiliary services
Cables distributing lower-voltage power for cabin lighting, HVAC, door systems, and passenger information displays. They prioritize safety with low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) properties and durability to withstand constant vibration.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) about cables for railways

Railway cables must comply with EN 45545-2, the harmonised European standard for fire protection of railway vehicles, covering flame spread, smoke emission, and toxicity. Infrastructure cables also follow EN 50575 CPR requirements.

Yes. Our railway signalling and communication cables incorporate appropriate screening and armour to provide immunity from electromagnetic interference generated by traction return currents and overhead line equipment.

Yes. We offer a full range of trackside power, lighting, and communication cables suitable for installation in cable troughing, conduit, and direct burial along railway routes.

Our rolling stock cables are tested for the vibration and pressure wave environments of high-speed rail, with mechanical endorsements for use at line speeds up to 350 km/h where required.

Yes. We supply all cable types required for railway depot electrification, including overhead line equipment feeds, shore supply cables, workshop power distribution, and control room wiring.

Yes. Our railway sector team can support major rail infrastructure projects from specification review through to technical submission, inspection, and testing, working alongside principal contractors and systems integrators.

Onboard wiring must meet rail fire-safety. Top Cable’s halogen-free, fire-performance railway range (TOXFREE-based) suits rolling-stock circuits targeting EN 45545.

Signalling that must survive fire uses fire-resistant cable. Top Cable’s TOXFREE PLUS 331 (AS+) maintains circuit integrity for critical signalling.

Train interiors require low-smoke, halogen-free, low-toxicity cable. Top Cable’s TOXFREE LSZH range limits smoke and toxic gases in line with EN 45545 hazard levels.

EN 45545-2 sets fire behaviour for rail vehicles. Top Cable’s halogen-free railway cables are designed to the relevant hazard levels.

Traction motor connections need flexible, heat- and EMI-tolerant cable. Top Cable’s screened and VFD ranges (SCREENFLEX, TOPDRIVE) suit traction circuits.

HVAC and passenger-comfort circuits use halogen-free flexible cable. Top Cable’s TOXFREE LSZH range meets onboard fire-safety needs.

Signalling cable needs screening against traction EMI. Top Cable’s SCREENFLEX (LiYCY) screened cables protect signal integrity.

Trackside power uses LSZH or armoured LV/MV cable. Top Cable’s TOXFREE N2XH and POWERHARD armoured cables suit trackside runs.

Passenger trains follow EN 45545. Top Cable’s halogen-free railway cables meet its smoke, toxicity and flame-spread requirements.

Top Cable manufactures halogen-free, fire-performance cables for rolling stock and railway infrastructure, designed to EN 45545.
