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.
