Protecting rail cabling from mechanical damage

Flexible conduit system manufacturer, Flexicon, has launched an extended range of divisible corrugated conduits (dual split conduits), which can be easily retrofitted to protect vulnerable or existing cabling that may be susceptible to mechanical damage within rail.

Made from two interlocking slit corrugated conduits, divisible conduits are designed to protect vulnerable cabling and enhance personal protection against electrical shock.

The construction allows existing cabling to be inserted laterally via a slit opening, rather than being pulled through the open end of a traditional conduit system. The two open conduits then interlock to form a double layer protection around the cables.

Flexicon has designed its divisible corrugated conduits, FPADS, FPRDS and FPPDS with choice, safety and reliability in mind. All conduits are self-extinguishing as standard.

The FPRDS system is constructed from nylon PA6 and can withstand a temperature range of -40°C to +120°C, and is UV resistant.

Offering the ultimate in fire performance properties, with compliance to EN 45545-2 HL3 level, as well as halogen, sulphur and phosphorus free, suitable for rail and transportation applications.

Flexicon is a specialist UK manufacturer of flexible conduit solutions and can offer bespoke customer solutions as specials, such as different colours or lengths.

For further information of Flexicon’s wide range of flexible conduit fittings and systems please contact Flexicon, Roman Way, Coleshill, Birmingham, B46 1HG, email flexiconsales@atkore.com, or visit www.flexicon.uk.com.
