Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Polycab Railway Rolling Stock Cable?

The Polycab Railway Rolling Stock 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.

Which specifications does it meet?

Polycab lists RDSO ELRS/SPEC/ELC/0019 Rev 4, Chittaranjan Locomotive Works CLW/ES/3/0458 Alt E and CLW/ES/3/0459 Alt A, Rail Coach Factory EDTS 132 Rev C, and equivalent specifications.

What temperature is it rated for?

Polycab states the insulation is suitable for 125 °C. Cables to these specifications are usually described for -40 °C to +120 °C, so we confirm the rating on the datasheet for your specification.

Why electron-beam cross-linking?

Cross-linking the compound with an electron beam gives thin, tough insulation that keeps its properties at high temperature - what rolling stock wiring needs.
