Safe and flexibleVery intensive use is made of therailway network in North-westernEurope. A high-quality network thathas to be safe and reliable whateverthe circumstances.All the TKF cables for the railwaynetwork meet the highest requirementsand are therefore produced andcertified in accordance with the latestspecifications of the internationalrailway operators.Complete portfolioFor the rail infrastructure market,TKF delivers cable products for:• ERTMS security• 25 kV systems• Tunnels• Stations• Axle counting systems• Signalling systems• ACE• Light rail (metro and tram)Years of experienceTKF has extensive internationalexperience with various railinfrastructure projects. What is more,we have proven to be a flexible andreliable supplier with an excellentlogistics service. In the Netherlands wedelivered all the cables for the Betuweroute and the Port railway which hasbeen moved, Utrecht Harmelen I andII, TEV 2006 and the traction powercables developed specially for the RETand GVB tram and metro companies.In Germany, TKF has delivered a large...because safety countsThe railways in North-western Europe are one of the mostintensively used rail networks in the world. It is a network thatmust always be available, reliable and safe. And to guarantee this,TKF has developed unique applications for the railways networktogether with its customers.Traction power cableIn collaboration with the Rotterdam Tram Company, TKF has developed a flexible,zero halogen, traction power cable that retains function for 90 minutes. This cableconnects the rectifier substation with the metro system. Since the cable is exposedto vibrations and small bending radiuses, good flexibility is essential.Cable for the axle counting systemIn cooperation with ProRail, TKF has developed cables for the axle countingsystem that are easy to incorporate. The system detects a change in the electro

number of specific copper and fibre opticcables for Deutsche Bahn, the Emmerichand Grevenbroich projects are a goodexample of this.ACE concept for rail infrastructureWe recommend the ACE concepts forfuture communication applications in railinfrastructure projects. For rail infrastructureTKF has certified total solutions that arealready widely proven in various fibreoptic networks. ACE offers all the passivecomponents and fibre optic cables forthese applications. With ACE, TKF not onlydelivers products but furthermore guaranteesthat the various components are completelygeared to each other. With the innovativeACE concepts we offer you a certified andguaranteed passive solution.International standardsTKF supplies rail infrastructure cables inaccordance with international standards:ProRail• SPC00015 • SPC00126• SPC00064 • SPC00129• SPC00085 • SPC00132• SPC00220 • SPC00261• SPC00221Deutsche Bahn• DB AG no. 41600113• DB AG no. 41600114• DB AG no. 41600115• DB AG no. 41600116• TNP 02• TNP 04• TNP 06Medium-voltage• IEC 60502• IEC 60840• NEN 3630Fire retardant• IEC 60332Low smoke• EN 50268magnetic field when trains pass by, controlling signals andcrossings. By placing two axle counters in sequence, thedirection in which the train is moving is determined. If ahazardous situation threatens to occur, the level-crossingbarriers will close.Zero halogen• EN 50267UV protection• ISO 4892ERTMS Eurobalise cableERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) is astandardised European system for railway security. Thisintelligent system detects passing trains and speeds andcan even control the trains. Thanks to the fact that the ERTMSsystem is interoperable, trains can safely move beyond theborders of countries. TKF’s Eurobalise cable connects theERTMS security system with the Eurobalise sensor so thatinformation is obtained to control the security signals(level-crossing barriers and signals).EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)Signalling cableSignalling cables are signal cables that control signalsand level crossings. Thanks to the special construction ofthe braiding, the screen damping and symmetrical transferimpedance meet high requirements. The TKF signalling cablesare EMC shielded so that they are used in the 25 kV ACsystems (alternating current systems).
