New TRAFFIC cable meets International Railway Performance and Safety Standards
Lapp has expanded its ÖLFLEX® cable range with the addition of TRAFFIC, a high performance, halogen-free control cable. Developed by Lapp to satisfy the specific cabling demands of the rail sector, TRAFFIC also provides a safe and effective solution for any application where flexible, reduced diameter and lightweight control cables are required, for example, lighting systems, door controls and air conditioning units.
ÖLFLEX® TRAFFIC offers superior resistance to mechanical, thermal and chemical stresses courtesy of its electron beam cross-linked insulation. The cable is also robust, UV-resistant and can withstand temperatures as low as - 45oC and as high as 120°C. Furthermore, it has a high level of flexibility and features the latest ‘thin-wall’ technology, making it very lightweight and easy to handle, even in restricted space conditions.
A priority in Lapp’s development of ÖLFLEX® TRAFFIC was to satisfy international railway performance and safety standards. In fact the requirements of British (BS), French (NF), German (VDE) and European (EN) standards were all taken into account during the development process and the cable has been tested and certified by VDE. ÖLFLEX® TRAFFIC has excellent fire resistance properties, is low smoke, halogen-free and offers low generation of toxic gases in the event of a fire. As such, TRAFFIC can be safely specified for fixed and protected cable runs in ducts, trays and conduits, both internally and externally, on railway carriages, trams and buses, and for associated wiring switchgear, inverters and distributors.
ÖLFLEX® TRAFFIC can also be used for trouble-free connection of components such as loudspeakers, fans and control panels between frequency inverters and motors.
