CABLES: Nexans has launched Flamex as the brand for its range of cables for rolling stock applications, including on-train power, control, data, high voltage and optic fibre products.

Conforming to a range of national and international standards, the cables resist the propagation of fire and produce low smoke emissions which are non-corrosive and low in toxicity. This is particularly important on trains, where power supplies for door, ventilation and information systems need to be maintained in an emergency.

• Aerco has been appointed UK distributor for Swedish firm Habia Cable, which produces a range of high-performance cables for the communications, defence and nuclear sectors, including RailGuard products for the rail industry.
