Linking experience and expertise to a fast-moving world

As the world continues its rapid urbanisation, planning strategies, most notably for public transport lines, must adapt to meet demand.

Alongside the infrastructure challenges posed by the development of cities, the railway industry must also consider escalating customer expectations and frequent advancements in technology. Railway systems have undergone an intense period of modernisation with complex automation developments. These advances demand cables with increasingly high levels of performance, reliability, and safety.

Prysmian has developed new cable designs and materials to provide the latest in chemical and mechanical resistance, fire resistance, EMC behaviour and enhanced transmission capacity.

We offer medium and low-voltage power cables, communication cables, and control and signalling cables, fibre cables, data cables and a full range of products to fulfil the requirements of different specifications of the authorities and/or contractors in the different parts of the world.

Inside Railway
