Digicode 30KHz Indoor Signalling Cables
Application
The cables are designed for transmission of track circuit digicode signals up to 30 kHz in electrified lines.
Standard
- EN 50266-2-4 & IEC 60332-3(Fire performance)
- EN 50268-2(Smoke density)
- EN 50267-2-1(Halogen content)

Cable Construction
 |
 |
- Conductors: Solid Annealed copper, 1.4 mm nominal diameter (0.6 mm for the auxiliary pair).
- Insulation: Polyethylene.
- Cabling Element: Two insulated conductors are twisted together to form a pair.
- Stranding: Pairs are helically stranded to get the cable core.
- Core Wrapping: Plastic tape(s) with overlapping.
- Inner Sheath: Low density polyethylene.
- Moisture Barrier: Copolymer coated laminated aluminium tape.
- Intermediate Sheath: LSZH fi re retardant compound. PE or PVC option can be offered upon request.
- Mechanical Protection: Two helically applied steel tapes.
- Outer Sheath: LSZH fi re retardant compound. PE or PVC option can be offered upon request.
