The R 107 series delivers dependable control solutions for modern automation and machinery. Halogen-free, flame retardant, heat resistant Besilen® silicone copper rope with extremely fine stranding meets EN 45545-2 for railway applications - rated for 3000 V, up to 180°C. It is built with a Besilen® EI2 acc. to EN 50363-1 + VDE 0207-363-1 jacket for durability and resistance in harsh conditions. This series also offers UV- and oil-resistant to perform in demanding environments. By combining technical strength with flexibility, it helps optimize equipment performance and reliability. It is used as current and ground connection in 3rd Rail current collectors at pantographs and as earth connection at wheel sets, coupling blocks and crane mountings on rail vehicles. The wire can be laid easily in narrow spaces due to its extremely flexible construction. EN 45545-2 certified cable for use as power cable or earthing cable in electrically operated railways. Due to its silicone outer jacket, the cable can be used at temperatures up to +250°C. The insulated copper rope has other advantages in addition to very good electrical properties.
