Signalling and control cables Copper, multi-pair signalling and control cables are hybrid energy/telecom cables providing low-voltage energy and two-way telecommunications for field equipment.
For the main railway operators, Nexans has developed customized EM-immunity (high-reduction factor) cables, especially important for high-speed lines. Digicode signalling cables have been recently installed on the Daegu Subway line and Incheon International airport in Korea.

Axle counter cables These cables connect trackside counting points which determine train presence, direction of travel, length, number of wagons and integrity...
National Rail of the UK chose Nexans as a preferred supplier of axle counter cables which give clear advantages in terms of cable size and performance, especially watertightness. Nexans helped upgrade the signalling system for Korea’s Bundang line by supplying new axle counter cables.

Balise cables Nexans advanced balise cables are flexible, resistant and have electromagnetic immunity for HF communications for an escalating and eventually fully radio-based GSM-R traffic management system.
Nexans won a contract from GE Transportation Rail for balise cables used in upgrading Italy’s rail network to meet ERTMS requirements. For Bombardier, it also won a contract to provide balise cables for the Korean National Railroads’ ATP project (1,720 km).
DuoTrack® cable  Figure-8 duplex copper/fiber cable, which is securely clamped right on the tracks, is used to provide routing information with communications and control functions for regional railway lines, including ETCS capability. Fast and easy to install, it saves 30-40% of installation time and achieves overall ownership cost savings of over 50%.
139 km of DUO cable was installed by Deutsche Bahn on 130 km of the Odenwaldbahn line. Nexans not only worked closely with DB, but also with system integrators, Siemens and Alcatel, to achieve a truly integrated turnkey solution.
