Railway Cables and Solutions

Overview

As the world continues its rapid urbanization, planning strategies—most notably for public transport lines—must adapt to meet demand.

 

Alongside the infrastructure challenges posed by the development of new megacities, the railway industry must also consider escalating customer expectations, fierce competition and frequent advancements in technology.

 

Railway systems themselves have undergone an intense period of modernization with complex automation developments, such as driverless trains and onboard communication systems. These advances demand cables with increasingly high levels of performance, reliability and safety.

Prysmian has developed new cable designs and materials to provide the latest in chemical and mechanical resistance, fire resistance, EMC behavior and enhanced transmission capacity.

 

We offer medium and low-voltage power cables, communication cables, and control and signaling cables, fiber cables, data cables and a full range of products to fulfill the requirements of different specifications of the authorities and/or contractors in North America, such as communication-based train control (CBTC) railway operational management approaches.

With an extended footprint in more than 50 countries, a fully comprehensive portfolio of products and services and undisputed technological leadership, Prysmian can address the fast-changing needs of its customers and is the perfect partner for railway and underground operators.
