China 365PCB 3x16mm² is a high-performance locomotive cable engineered for reliable power transmission in railway applications. With a 3x16mm² core configuration, it delivers stable current-carrying capacity to meet the demanding electrical needs of locomotives. Built to withstand harsh operating conditions such as vibration, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress, this cable ensures long-lasting durability and consistent performance. It’s a trusted choice for critical locomotive wiring systems, providing safe and efficient energy transfer for seamless railway operations.

This 3x16mm² locomotive cable is engineered to deliver reliable three-phase power or multi-circuit functionality within the demanding environment of railway rolling stock. Designed with durability and safety as core principles, it integrates three 16mm² conductors within a single, rugged construction to simplify installation, save space, and ensure consistent performance under vibration, temperature extremes, and mechanical stress.
Integrated Multi-Core Design: Combines three precisely sized 16mm² conductors within one cable, perfect for three-phase power distribution or separate auxiliary circuits, reducing installation complexity and bundle size.
Superior Durability: Features a heavy-duty, oil-resistant, and flame-retardant sheath that protects against abrasion, chemicals, and fluids common in railway operations.
High Resilience to Harsh Conditions: Rated for extended temperature ranges and engineered to withstand constant vibration and flexing, ensuring long-term electrical integrity in mobile applications.
Enhanced Safety Compliance: Constructed with materials that inhibit flame propagation and often feature low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) options to meet stringent railway safety standards (e.g., EN 45545, DIN 5510).
Standardized Reliability: Manufactured to comply with key railway cable specifications such as DIN EN 50306 for rolling stock, guaranteeing performance and interoperability.
Three-phase AC power supply lines for auxiliary systems in locomotives, electric multiple units (EMUs), and metro cars.
Fixed wiring for major auxiliary equipment groups requiring multiple protected circuits.
Power distribution within coach junction boxes and between vehicle sections.
Wiring in other heavy-duty transportation equipment requiring robust, multi-core power cables.
