FLAMEX® to support your performance:
complete range of cable solutions and services worldwide
Along with highways, air, and
sea, rail provides sustainable
travel, including energy
efficiency for mass suburban
commuting, freight transport,
and high speed links for
intercity corridors. In recent
years, mobility needs have
stimulated rolling stock orders,
including high-speed trains,
electrical multiple units
(EMUs), locomotives and
metros. Growth is likely to
average 2 to 2.5 % annually,
and total market volume
is expected to reach over
40 billion euros per annum
by 2016.
European rail renewal,
emerging economies, and
international sporting events
continue to drive rolling stock
growth. In France, Germany,
Russia and South Africa
railways are being upgraded
(especially regional lines).
China is targeting railways
to lift the economy, and India
has approved some 500 rail
projects. Meanwhile, the Olympic
Games and the FIFA World
Cup have stimulated growth
in the UK and Brazil, and 150
million-plus cities are looking
to rail to resolve urban congestion
and facilitate inter-city travel.
OEMs and suppliers of systems,
subsystems and components
are playing a critical role in
the Rail Revolution worldwide.
They want to meet railway and
transit authority demands for
quality, safety and reliability.
They are also interested in
improving supply-and-delivery
logistics and creating new
customer-driven services.
Passenger and freight transport
are increasingly global and
need a wide range of cable
solutions which are readily
available and fully compliant
with national and world
standards.

who can manufacture the
hundreds of specialty products
necessary to outfit a complete
trainset. We have supplied
over 80 % of the cables used
for major projects like
Bombardier’s Intercity AGC
and the high-altitude Tibet
Line, Alstom’s two-level
RGV2N TGV, and Siemens
VAL 208 driverless metro,
often consolidating supply
and subsystems in order to
eliminate the need for multiple
sub-contractors.
Our FLAMEX® cable solutions
include power cables for locos,
EMUs, and self-propelled bogies,
like the Alstom AGV which
offers speeds up to 360 km/h.
We developed high-temperature
solutions for locomotives,
high-voltage connectivity
between pantograph and
transformers, and low-voltage
power for cars. Control cables
assure operational performance
and safety, while data cables
provide surveillance, video and
Internet. Cable harnesses and
jumper cables include optical
fiber in hybrid cable systems.
POWER CABLES
Rolling stock power cables
A wide range of flexible, Class
5/6, tinned copper single and
multi-core rubber cables to
meet the power needs, with fire
resistance for circuit integrity,
if needed.
Power cables for TRAXX loco-
motives built by Bombardier,
used across the world for both
freight and passenger variants.
Very low- and high-
temperature power cables
for locos and drives
To deal with extreme temperatures
and weight constraints, light and
compact silicone cables can
operate in temperatures from
-50° C to 150° C (tested to
-60° C and 200° C).
Used on Alstom’s new AGV which
has distributed traction with motors
under passenger wagons,
or on Bombardier’s Spacium
high-capacity commuter trains.
Silicone motor
connection wires
For high-voltage machines,
transformers, motors and
generators, where high-
temperatures prevail and
flexibility is required, with good
abrasion resistance and high
tear-resistant performance.
Allowing smaller conductors, and
thus weight savings, they are
used on Alstom’s locomotives.
HV connection cables,
bushings, connectors
Carrying electricity from the
pantograph to the locomotive’s
transformer, flexible HV cables
(up to 45 kV) can be supplied
as a pre-mounted, pre-tested
set with bushings and
connectors.
For Bombardier’s Regina high-
speed trains, the solution included
initial measurements, technical
drawings, pre-installation with
terminations and tests.
CONTROL CABLES
Standard, thin-walled, ultra
thin-walled control cables
Single or multi-core, shielded
or unsheilded, for all command
and surveillance functions: doors,
lighting, converters/transformers.
Fire-resistant cables ensure
circuit integrity.
Used in intercity and mass transit,
like Siemens fully-automated,
driverless people mover,
the VAL 208.
DATA CABLES
Databus cables
For passenger video services/
surveillance and vital equipment,
twisted-pair databus cables
(different impedances and
layups) meet Profibus, MVB,
WTB, Ethernet protocols.
An ultra-high-speed project in
China; 100 trainsets to CNR.
Coaxial cables

cable delivers high bandwidth
for onboard services: video,
interactive passenger information,
WIFI and Internet.
Onboard fiber enriches the silent
and ergonomic AGVs operated
by Italy’s NTV.
HARNESSES
Rolling stock harnesses
consolidate wires, connectors
and identification systems
throughout the train: single
harnesses and looms, integrated
subsystems for driver’s desks
or brake control.
Nexans Confecta is present
in Switzerland, France and
Germany, as well as North
Africa, North America/Mexico,
Eastern Europe, and China.
JUMPER CABLES
To link cars/bogies/wheels, strong
and flexible jumper cables carry
