Is this the right one for you?

Check these four things before you order:

• The cable is for wiring inside metro or suburban train cars.
• You know which standard each circuit needs - EN 50264 power and control, EN 50306 thin-wall, or EN 50382 high temperature.
• You know the voltage, size, cores and screening.
• You know the fire-safety classification your rolling stock specification asks for.

Why choose the Polycab Metro Rail Cable

• Electron-beam cross-linked or silicone rubber insulation for 90 to 150 °C
• Zero halogen sheath - low smoke and no halogen acid gases in a fire
• Thin-wall and reduced-dimension types to save space and weight on trains
• Screened and unscreened, single and multicore
• Listed as generally conforming to the EN rolling stock cable standards (EN 50264, EN 50306 and EN 50382)

How to choose and specify it

Which standard. EN 50264-3 (Parts 3-1 and 3-2, as listed) covers power and control cables with elastomeric insulation and reduced dimensions (90 °C); EN 50306 covers thin-wall cables for signals and low-power circuits; EN 50382 covers high-temperature (120 or 150 °C) silicone rubber power cables. For standard-wall EN 50264-2 types, which the catalogue does not list, ask us. Your train builder's cable schedule names the type for each circuit.

Fire safety. Railway vehicles follow strict fire-safety rules; if your specification asks for an EN 45545-2 hazard level, tell us so that we confirm the classification for the cable type.

Send us the schedule. List the type, size, cores, screening and quantities and we confirm availability and lead time with Polycab.

Where it is used

• Metro and suburban train cars - power and control wiring
• Traction and auxiliary converter connections
• Signal and communication wiring on trains (thin-wall types)

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Polycab Metro Rail Cable?

The Polycab Metro Rail Cable is supplied at a price on request, because cable prices depend on the construction, the quantity and the raw-material prices on the day. Call +91 9340081159 for a quotation.

What does zero halogen mean?

The compound contains no halogens, so a fire produces less smoke and no corrosive, toxic halogen gases - important inside trains and tunnels. Polycab lists a zero-halogen sheath; for unsheathed single cores we confirm that the insulation is halogen-free.

Which temperature ratings are available?

Polycab lists insulation suitable for 90 °C to 150 °C; the EN 50382 silicone rubber types are for 120 or 150 °C.

Which standards apply?

EN 50264-3-1 and 3-2, EN 50306-2, 3 and 4, and EN 50382-1 and 2, as the catalogue lists.

Where can I buy the Polycab Metro Rail Cable in Chhattisgarh?

From Jai Enterprises, Bhilai and Raipur, which supplies Polycab cables to every district of Chhattisgarh and across India. Call +91 9340081159 for the price, stock and lead time.
