Rail Cable Labels
T&D are Main Distributors for Silver Fox, the UK leading manufacturer of Wire & Cable Labelling Systems for the identification of LV MV HV Electrical, Instrumentation, Security, Data & Telecoms cables in the rail industry.
Key to the specification selection process for rail cable labels is the ability to demonstrate low smoke zero halogen performance in the event of a fire.
LU-1-085 Compliant Cable Labels
for London Underground
LU 1-085 is the current approval document which details the requirements of fire safety materials to be used on London Underground and Transport for London (TfL).
LU 1-085 includes rigorous fire and safety tests to ensure only the safest materials are installed onto a rail network that transported over 1 billion passengers in 2012.
Compliance of any cable or cable accessory with LU 1-085 is a hallmark of advanced technical specification and product performance.
The stringent performance testing of Silver Fox cable labels has ensured successful installation in high voltage electrical substations where long-term and durable cable labelling is essential on mission-critical power circuits at 11kV and 33kV voltages.

A range of products have been approved by both Network Rail and London Underground (LUL) including the Silver Fox-Flo Tie-on LS0H Cable Labels and the Silver Fox Legend Low Smoke Zero Halogen Heatshrink Cable Labels which are available in a continuous roll or ladder format.
