Rail cable requirements and project enquiries.
Rail enquiries require the project’s cable standard, fire-performance requirements and test plan. The AGR datasheet linked below does not provide evidence of rail compliance.
AT A GLANCE
Rolling-stock wiring at a glance
Each rail connection and the standard it is built to.
| Connection | Silicone cable | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| High-temperature power connections | EN 50382-2 project requirements | Voltage class and 120 °C (248°F) or 150 °C (302°F) type to be specified |
| Current-collection and earthing links | Custom flexible silicone cable | Current and movement define the strand construction |
| Onboard equipment wiring | EN 45545-2 project requirements | Every material must meet the project's fire requirements |
CONNECTION TASKS
Rail equipment wiring
The three connection types below are reviewed as custom projects to the standards you name.
FLEXIBLE LINKS
Current-collection and earthing links
Flexible connections at current collectors and wheelset earthing. Give the current, length, movement and termination.
Custom project
ONBOARD
Onboard equipment wiring
Wiring inside heaters and equipment boxes on the vehicle. Every material must meet the project's EN 45545-2 requirements.
Custom project to EN 45545-2
SELECTION CHECKS
Operating conditions to specify
Include these conditions with your enquiry so we can select the right cable.
Standards
The cable standard, for example EN 50382-2, the EN 45545-2 hazard level and any operator specification define the construction.
Electrical rating
Voltage class, current, short-circuit conditions and conductor class set the electrical design.
Environment
Heat, vibration, outdoor exposure and fluids along the route decide the materials and tests.
OUR CABLE
Silicone cable construction
The AGR datasheet describes a single-core silicone wire. It does not list EN 50382-2 or EN 45545-2 compliance.
AGR / SINGLE-CORE WIRE
AGR silicone-insulated single-core wire
- Conductor
- Stranded tinned copper
- Insulation
- Silicone rubber
- Outer sheath
- None; this is a single insulated conductor
- Identification
- Coloured insulation available
Continuous use up to +180 °C (356°F) and short-term exposure up to +200 °C (392°F).
APPLICATION LIMITS
Required rail standards
In rail projects the named standard sets the construction, materials and tests.
- High-temperature power
- EN 50382-2 scope: the voltage class and 120 °C (248°F) or 150 °C (302°F) type must be specified.
- Flexible links
- Current and movement define the strand construction; confirm earthing requirements.
- Fire performance
- EN 45545-2 material tests are required for the project; we do not currently hold a certificate.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Frequently asked questions
Does ANYANG have EN 45545-2 certified silicone cable?
No current EN 45545-2 certificate is provided for the cable shown. A rail-specific cable needs its own compliance documents.
Do standard voltage ratings apply to rail?
No. Ratings such as 300/500 V do not correspond to EN 50382-2 voltage classes. The rail rating must be specified and verified.
Which temperature types does EN 50382-2 cover?
EN 50382-2 silicone cables are specified by voltage class and by a 120 °C (248°F) or 150 °C (302°F) type. Name both in your enquiry.
