For rapid transit and locomotive applications, Prysmian provides the toughest cables to meet the most demanding requirements for long-term performance and reliability. As an industry leader in a challenging marketplace, Prysmian has the expertise, facilities and structure to deliver results:
Polyrad® XT rail and transit cables are designed for original equipment and retrofit applications in power and control circuits and motor leads. These cables provide excellent heat resistance, flexibility, and abrasion resistance, while their reduced size simplifies installation and allows for higher ampacity.
As the industry's first wire and cable with a dual-temperature rating of 125°C/110°C, Polyrad XT single-conductor cables can significantly reduce your inventory by nearly half, while meeting the requirements of AAR RP-585, ICEA S-95-658, NFPA 130, and many other transit industry standards. Polyrad XT single-conductor cables are available in 600-volt and 2000-volt constructions.
Polyrad® ULTRA is the next-generation cable designed for advanced train applications where space is at a premium. It features excellent performance, is lightweight, and has smaller diameters, allowing Polyrad ULTRA single cables to be integrated into multi-conductor configurations rated for 600 V and 125°C. This makes it perfect for high-density cabling applications.
Prysmian, a long-standing leader in the industry, is committed to advancing cabling systems with innovative cable technology. Our primary focus is on enhancing safety, streamlining cable installation, simplifying maintenance, extending performance, and improving cost efficiency.
We are a qualified supplier for the New York City Transit (NYCT) TX cable specification, making us an approved source for future capital programs and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) needs. If you need cables that can withstand extreme conditions, we offer a comprehensive selection of high-quality, high-performance Polyrad® XT cables.
Transit data communication cables are available in multiconductor, coaxial, and shielded twisted-pair designs. Our high-quality products are engineered for exceptional thermal stability at elevated temperatures and outstanding performance in sub-zero conditions. The extra-durable irradiated thermoset jacket offers resistance to oils, chemicals, and moisture while maintaining flexibility for easy stripping. We provide a complete range of Cat5e, Cat6, and data cables (MVB and WTB).
Prysmian provides a diverse range of products for various applications, including Diesel Locomotive Cable rated at 2000 volts, Electronically Controlled Pneumatic Brake Cables, and TRANSPOWER Head-End Power cables rated at 600 volts.
Prysmian has developed a high-performance range of technological compounds designed for even the most demanding applications. Our advanced technology offers the following benefits:
Our rolling stock cable solutions aim to minimize fire-related risks. The Polyrad® Rolling Stock portfolio meets all the requirements defined by NFPA 130 for Fixed Guideway and Passenger Rail Systems, including:
We understand that train cables must be resilient to various conditions, including exposure to high-speed objects, debris, cleaning fluids, fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, greases, and more. In addition, they need to endure harsh environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, salt, mud, and UV radiation. All of our cables are designed to meet these essential requirements as standard features.
We offer a wide range of harnessing solutions with specially developed compounds and cable designs tailored to your needs. How do we achieve this? Through our state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of our skilled technicians and technical specialists.
Prysmian is committed to exceeding customer expectations for quality. We ensure quality through in-house and third-party testing, strictly adhering to specifications and industry standards, as evidenced by the certifications below.
ISO 9001 is the world’s most established quality framework. For our customers, this means Prysmian can consistently deliver products that meet requirements and enhance customer satisfaction by relying on proven quality-oriented processes.
Prysmian’s North American facility (Willimantic, Connecticut, U.S.A.) operates a laboratory quality system based on ISO/IEC 17025:2005. This system ensures proper test equipment, a reliable test environment, qualified personnel, and robust procedures for standards and data reporting. As a result, our customers benefit from products tested in a lab approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and CSA International (CSA). Being part of the UL Client Test Data Program (CTDP) demonstrates UL's trust in our procedures and reduces the need for on-site oversight. Similarly, CSA approval allows us to conduct our own category testing, ensuring faster product development while maintaining quality and compliance. These certifications confirm Prysmian’s ability to design, manufacture, and test to rigorous standards, offering our customers consistency, reliability, and quick access to new, compliant products.
IRIS is a globally recognized standard for assessing management systems in the railway sector. Prysmian is a member of UNIFE (The European Rail Supply Industry Association) and is committed to delivering excellent service in the railway industry. This commitment also extends to helping railway component suppliers meet internationally recognized quality standards. All Prysmian rolling-stock cables worldwide are fully IRIS-certified, including their associated production units and processes, such as purchasing, inventory, and sales flows.
REACH is the regulation established by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, adopted on December 18, 2006. This regulation modernizes European legislation concerning chemical substances and creates a comprehensive integrated system for managing chemicals within the European Union.
The primary goal of REACH is to enhance the protection of human health and the environment while ensuring the competitiveness of the European chemical industry and promoting innovation. All of our rolling-stock cables comply with REACH standards. Prysmian recognizes the importance of restricting hazardous chemicals in our products. We actively take the necessary steps to meet the evolving REACH requirements for wire and cable products and materials.
If you have any specific technical questions regarding REACH or if you need a declaration form, please feel free to submit a request here or email us at [email protected].
The RoHS directive aims to reduce the use of certain hazardous substances in electric and electronic equipment (EEE). The directive applies to cables rated below 250 V, specifically those used to connect or extend EEE to electrical outlets, or to connect multiple EEEs to each other. All Prysmian Rolling Stock cables are compliant with RoHS regulations.
Prysmian recognizes the importance of limiting hazardous substances in our products. We are committed to taking the necessary steps to comply with the evolving RoHS directives concerning wire and cable products and materials.
