Transportation

Cables that keep rail and road moving.

Wires and cables built to carry power, signal and data against vibration, mechanical stress and extreme temperatures.

Overview

Power, signal and data for every loco, coach and bus.

Transportation asks a lot of a cable. Inside a loco, a coach or a bus it has to carry power, control signals and data against constant vibration and mechanical stress, in tight spaces where every kilogram counts and fire safety is not negotiable.

Elegar Kerpen builds wires and cables for railway and automotive applications at our Chakan plant in Pune. Insulation crosslinked on our own E-beam line gives lighter, more compact constructions that hold their properties for longer, and every construction can be adapted to your specification.

Where they run

Railways and automotive.

One supplier covering rail and road, so a project can source its power, control and data cables from one supplier.

Passenger train running on the line

Railways

Coaches, locomotives, metro cars and the lines they run on. Cables for traction and auxiliary power, lighting, doors, HVAC, signalling and passenger information.

Car on the road in daylight

Automotive

Buses, commercial and special-purpose vehicles. Wiring that stays reliable around engine heat, oil and fuel, and vibration that never lets up.

Cable range

Cables for transportation.

The ranges we build for rail and road projects. Each can be built to your conductor size, core count and sheath.

Rolling Stock Cables

Single core, screened and unscreened multi core, signal and control, and data bus and video cables for locomotives, coaches and metro cars.

What they face

Six things a transport cable has to survive.

Transport applications load a cable in ways a fixed installation never does. Our constructions are designed around six of them.

Vibration and movement

On rails and roads, cables never stop moving. Constructions are designed to take repeated flexing and mechanical stress without cracking.

Extreme weather conditions

From desert heat to winter cold and monsoon damp, TRANS-KONNECT® single core is rated up to 120°C and keeps its resistance at low temperatures.

Fire hazard

Halogen free, low smoke and infusible insulation helps protect passengers and crews in trains and vehicles if a fire breaks out.

Oil, fuel and chemicals

Sheaths resist the oil, fuel and chemicals found in depots, engine bays and workshops.

Space and weight

E-beam crosslinked insulation allows compact constructions, saving space and weight on every train and vehicle.

Clear signals

Screened constructions keep control and data signals clear of interference from traction, propulsion and power systems.

Standards and approvals

Built for transport specifications.

Rolling stock and road vehicle cables are built to the standards a project names, or to your own specification.
