NR-approved Axle Counter Cable available now
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.’
