New Belden Railway Approved Gigabit
Ethernet data cable BE43800 offers
fast, reliable communications and
enhanced system performance in railway,
transportation and city transit systems.
Belden® BE43800 is a halogen-free Cat
5e Ethernet cable that meets the highest
railway industry standards. This highly
specialised data cable reliably delivers
real time information for operators
and passengers, on-board as well as in
terminals and control rooms.
This new Belden® industrial Ethernet rail
cable is particularly suitable for use in
Gigabit Ethernet networks in rolling stock
onboard applications for monitoring,
recording and control systems;
multimedia passenger information
and entertainment; and train control
management systems.
For safety and security, BE43800 Belden
cable is approved to international railway
standards.
Introducing the new cable, Louise
Wild, product manager, said: “This
Gigabit Ethernet data cable is highly
suited for use in the rail passenger
transport industry to support expanding
communications networks.
“Increasingly, passengers demand
improved comfort and safety on board
trains. They require actual travel-related
information such as arrival times,
connecting points and multimedia
services including Internet access and
infotainment. The shift to Gigabit Ethernet
facilitates all these and future services.”

A few years ago, Tenova
LOI Italimpianti and Tenova
Hypertherm were awarded a
contract for two Roller Hearth
Furnaces for Tata Steel’s Thin Slab
Casting & Rolling plant (TSCR) in
Jamshedpur, India.
In December 2011 the dry-out was
carried out successfully and the hot
trial will start very shortly.
The second furnace, now in
advanced stage of erection, was
scheduled to be completed during
the first quarter of 2012.
