Prysmian Group highlights innovation for reliable future of rail at Infrarail 2018

Prysmian is set to reveal its latest enhanced cable joint system innovation at Infrarail 2018.

The latest system range is designed to be used in conjunction with enhanced aluminium cable for class 2 installations.

The need for this technology arose as a result of the requirement for increased efficiency, and due to the fact that traditional copper cable systems are prone to theft and economic fluctuation in the industry.

Business Director for Specialist Cables and Network Components, Graham Spraggs comments: "Aluminium cables will last just as long as copper - if treated correctly. The biggest threat to aluminium cables and joints is water ingress, so we've developed a system that keeps water at bay, maintaining the circuit for years to come.

Our team continues to scrutinize our products in order to improve design reliability, while also helping Network Rail maintain a reliable safe network."

In addition to the new jointing system, Prysmian will also be showcasing its full rail portfolio including its Energy & Telecom Cables & Connectivity systems.

Prysmian will be exhibiting on stand D37 from 1st to 3rd May 2018 at the Excel, London, UK.
