NR-approved Axle Counter Cable available now
2nd November 2009
Axle Counter Cable is now quicker, cheaper and easier to install than ever before thanks to the development of Eland’s new Network Rail approved specification.
The new Axle Counter Cable specification, developed by Eland Cables, is designed to replace the existing specification already used for train detection across much of the UK rail network. By using a unique layer of glass fibre to protect against rodent attacks, the cable no longer requires steel tape armour, meaning it is more cost-effective, flexible, easier to strip and doesn’t require metallic bonding.
‘Eland Cables has worked hard to create a product that will both reduce installation times for engineers and increase efficiency across the rail network as a whole,’ says Technical Manager Chris Barnes, who has worked closely with Network Rail on the new design. Managing Director, Philip Brown adds: ‘As the only UK supplier with Network Rail approval on the new specification, we are proud to be playing such a key role in the future success of our rail network.’
For specification documentation requests and technical enquiries on the new Axle Counter Cable, please contact Technical Manager Chris Barnes on 07980 712 537 or cbarnes@eland.co.uk.
Elands adds LSZH Copper Trackside Cables to NR-approved Rail Telecoms range
30th October 2009
Eland Cables’ NR-approved rail telecoms cable portfolio now includes a full range of LSZH and Armoured LSZH Cables.
Network Rail approval (NR/PR/TEL/00015), awarded to Eland on 11 September, covers 32 variants of 0.63mm and 0.9mm LSZH and Armoured LSZH Copper Trackside Cables. This builds on Eland’s success earlier this year when, as part of its product acceptance strategy, 32 variants of PE and Armoured PE Copper Trackside Cables were also approved.
With more NR-approved rail telecoms cables than any other UK cable supplier, Eland has strengthened its position as one of the country’s leading rail cable providers. ‘Quality is of the utmost importance at Eland and so we are delighted to have Network Rail acknowledge our high standards once again,’ says Technical and Projects Manager Chris Barnes.
