 Nexans, for on-track safety and efficiency
- World supplier of all data/energy cables and components for rolling stock
- Longstanding expertise in train harnesses for locos, drives and wagons
- Close cooperation with leading OEMs, sub-system suppliers and operators
- Specialists in easy-to-install, pre-engineered solutions for end-assembly
- Custom engineering for country-specific problems and standards
- Fast delivery times, flexibility, and automated assembly logistics for harnesses
- Quick time to market in product development
- Nexans meets the national, international and new European standards
In answer to this challenge, Nexans produces a full range of data and energy cables and components found in modern rolling stock, from low voltage and data cables with thinwall technique to energy cables up to 45 kV.
Our catalogue includes both standard and thinwall control cables with or without shielding; silicon-insulated motor connection wires; databus cables; optical fiber cables; special power cables; sheathed singlecore and multicore cables; highvoltage cables and systems; complete harnesses with their connections and sealing ends; robust jumper cables for carrying control and power functions between cars. Virtually all of our cables are 0-Halogen-free ('0'ZH), meeting the highest standards of safety.
The rolling stock industry is at a crucial point in development. Due to concentration, a few large suppliers now account for over 50% of the worldwide market share for rail products. The attractiveness of rail over other modes of travel gives rise to 'cautious optimism': trains are 12 times safer than cars, consume 3 times less energy per passenger, and use minimum space, while reducing congestion, pollution and noise.
However, economic uncertainties, an overlong innovation cycle, and a traditional lack of uniformity in components raise many questions and uncertainties. In today?s cars, 60% of components are common to all makes, a distinct manufacturing advantage. Rolling stock manufacturers urgently need global cable products that are designed to make railways more competitive, safe and cost-effective.
