CORDS Eurobalise Railway Safety Cables
These cables are appropriate for train detection ETCS (European Train Control System)/ERTMS (European Railway Traffic management System). These are armoured Railway safety copper conductor cables intended to be used with Eurobalise. The cable lies along the tracks, laying in ground, ducts or tunnels and provide data flow necessary for operation Management and Control.
