XT – The Trusted
Name in Rail & Transit
Wire and Cable
For more than 30 years, General
Cable’s Polyrad® XT has been
the most respected name in rail
& transit wire and cable. First
introduced to the marine market
for offshore oil rigs, ships and
mobile land rigs, Polyrad® XT
was developed to perform in the
most rugged conditions, passing
a wide range of stringent test
procedures and standards. Since
its introduction to the rail & transit
markets, Polyrad® XT has been the
leading wire and cable choice for
rapid transit and freight cars, heavy-
and light-rail cars, diesel-electric
locomotives and off-road vehicles.
Polyrad
®
XT’s Dual Rating
As the industry’s first rail &
transit wire and cable with a dual
125°C/110°C temperature rating,
Polyrad® XT combines the superior
properties and performance of a
125°C product while meeting all
industry requirements for traditional
110°C transit wire. For distributors,
this unique dual rating practically
reduces inventory by half.
Polyrad® XT meets all performance
requirements of AAR RP-585 and
ICEA S-95-658, as well as transit
industry specifications.
General Cables Polyrad® XT rail & transit wire
and cable is the chosen solution for demanding
environments throughout North America and the
world. Polyrad® XT is used extensively on all types of
rapid transit and freight cars, heavy- and light-rail cars,
diesel-electric locomotives and off-road vehicles.
Polyrad® XT rail & transit cables are specifically designed for original
equipment and retrofit use in power and control circuits and in motor
leads. Polyrad® XT’s superior heat, flexibility and abrasion resistance,
combined with its reduced size, simplifies cable installation and permits
higher ampacities. Fully tested to meet all applicable specifications,
Polyrad® XT cables ensure lifelong dependable service for transit,
off-road and diesel-powered locomotives.
Unlike conventional insulating systems,
Polyrad® XT offers a better balance of
electrical properties for superior stability and
performance. Available in both 600 volt and
2000 volt constructions, Polyrad® XT single-
conductor rail & transit cables are dual-rated
at 125°C and 110°C. Available in 600 volt and
2000 volt constructions, Polyrad® XT multi-
conductor shielded and non-shielded rail &
transit cables are rated at 125°C.
Insulation System and
Construction
Polyrad® XT insulation features a
highly engineered and refined low-
smoke polyolefin formulation used in
conjunction with soft annealed tinned
copper conductors per ASTM B33.
This innovative insulation technology
combines outstanding flame retardance
with excellent moisture-stable
electrical values. The construction
is further enhanced by radiation
cross-linking, which transforms the
original thermoplastic into a rugged
thermosetting material. The end result
is a compound with excellent thermal
stability – it will not soften or flow at
elevated temperatures.
• Increased durability
• Greater resistance to cut-through
• Superior oil resistance
• Excellent low-temperature
performance
• Maximum flexibility

General Cable has perfected the
technique of radiation processing.
Cross-linking the insulation and
jacket using our unique radiation
process creates a more flexible
product. In radiation cross-linking,
a scanner accurately and uniformly
directs a high-energy electron
beam from a power source over
the wire insulation, resulting in a
precise degree of cross-linking. This
technique enables General Cable
to effectively process smaller wires
with thin insulation walls to meet
the transit market’s critical demand
for high-density cabling.

Flame Test Comparison
UL 1581 VW-1 Vertical Wire
Flame Test:
This is a small-scale test conducted
on a single 24” length of wire. The
flame source is a Tirrill burner
(similar to a Bunsen burner) with
a heat output of approximately
3,000 BTU per hour. The flame is
applied for 15 seconds and then
is reapplied four more times. If
the sample burns longer than 60
seconds after any application, or if
the indicator flag or the cotton laid
below the wire is ignited during the
test, the cable fails the test.
Per AAR RP-585 – Application of
the flame shall be 5 times with
15-second rest periods with 10
seconds maximum burn after each
flame application.
Per NYCT - Application of the flame
shall be 5 times with 15-second
rest periods with 3 seconds
maximum burn after each flame
application.
The flammability of a cable is
normally the ability of the material
to cease burning once the source
of heat is removed. Several tests
have been formulated to measure
this requirement.
UL FLAME TESTS
UL 1581 Vertical Tray Flame Test:
This test is conducted on
cables lashed to a vertical metal
ladder tray 8 feet in height. The
combustion source is a ribbon
burner with a flame temperature
of approximately 1500°F which
supplies 70,000 BTU of heat per
hour. The flame application time is
20 minutes. This test requires the
cable to self-extinguish prior to
reaching the top of the tray which
is 8 feet in height. A UL Type TC
(Tray-Rated) cable must meet this
test. UL 1581 is an equivalent test
for IEEE 383-1974.
IEEE FLAME TESTS
IEEE 1202
This test is conducted on
cables lashed to a vertical metal
ladder tray 8 feet in height. The
combustion source is a ribbon
burner with a flame temperature
of approximately 1500°F which
supplies 70,000 BTU of heat per
hour. The flame application time is
20 minutes. To pass this test, the
resulting char distance must not be
greater than 1.5 meters (4.92 feet)
from the point of flame application.
This test is very similar to the CSA
FT4 flame test. It is also similar to
but more severe than the UL 1581
Vertical Tray Flame Test.
[See UL 1581 Vertical Flame Test]
CSA FLAME TESTS

How to Handle Cable Reels
.
Cradle both reel flanges between forks.
Reels can be hoisted with a shaft
extended through both flanges.
Lower reels from truck using hydraulic
gate, hoist or fork lift. LOWER CAREFULLY.
Always load with flanges on edge and
chock and block securely.
Always load with flanges on edge and
chock and block securely.
YES
Do not lift by top flange. Cable or reel
will be damaged.
Use a spreader bar to prevent bending
the reel flanges and mashing the cable.
Upended heavy reels will often arrive
damaged. Refuse or receive subject to
inspection for hidden damage.
Never allow forks to touch cable surface
or reel wrap.
Never drop reels.

Recommended Cable Handling Practices SPEC D025
October, 2011
Unloading and Moving of Reels:
Cable reels are never shipped upended (flat side down). Cable reels that arrive in this manner should be rejected
or received only after a thorough inspection for damage.
See “Recommended Reel Handling Practices” page.
Upon receipt, a cable’s protective covering and/or lagging should be inspected for evidence of damage during
shipment. If evidence of damage is found, a report should immediately be made to the carrier.
Under no circumstances should reels be dropped from the delivering vehicle to the ground.
Unloading and reel handling should be accomplished so that the equipment used does not contact the cable
surface, and in the case of protective wrap, that the equipment does not contact the protective wrap.
If unloading and reel handling is accomplished by crane, either a cradle supporting the reel flanges or a shaft
through the arbor hole should be used. If a fork lift is utilized, the forks must lift the reel at 90˚ to the flanges
and the forks must be long enough to make complete lifting contact with both flanges. Under no circumstances
should the forks come into contact with the cable surface or the protective wraps.
When a reel of cable is rolled from one point to another, care must be taken to see that there are no objects on
the surface area which could contact or damage the cable surface or protective wrap.
If an inclined ramp is used for unloading, the ramp must be wide enough to contact both flanges completely.
The stopping of the reels at the bottom shall be accomplished by using the reel flanges and not the surface of
the cable.

Recommended Cable Storage Practices
Storage and Storage Maintenance:
Finished cables have no established shelf-life. Moisture and atmospheric conditions can cause exposed
conductors to oxidize and discolor. Uncovered/unsheltered cable will degrade due to exposure to direct sunlight
and/or the elements. If the cables are protected, there should be no degradation of the insulation.
In general, any cable for use indoors should be stored indoors. Any cable suitable for installation outdoors is
suitable for storage outdoors. Cables stored outdoors should have the ends sealed to prevent moisture ingress
into the cable and should be used within two years or less.
Cables should be stored in a sheltered area. The cable conductor should not be exposed to water.
Cables with a cold temperature marking, e.g. –10˚C, –25˚C, or –40˚C, may be stored outdoors. Cables without a
cold temperature marking must be stored indoors.
Cable reels must remain in the upright position. Cable reels must not be stored on their sides. Reels must not be
stacked.
Cable reels should be stored with the protective covering or lagging in place. If a length of cable has been cut
from the reel, the cable end should be immediately resealed to prevent the entrance of moisture. If a part length
is returned to storage, the reel’s protective covering should be restored.
Wooden reels should be stored off the ground to prevent rotting. Reels should be stored on a flat, hard surface
so that flanges do not sink into the earth. The weight of the reel and cable must be carried at all times by the reel
flanges.
Cable reels and lagging must not be stored for an extended time period sitting in direct contact with water or
dampness. Timbers or metal supports must be placed under the reel flanges to provide elevated storage of the
reels away from the direct contact with water or damp soil.
Reels should be stored in an area where construction equipment, falling or flying objects or other materials will
not contact the cable.
Cable should be stored in an area where chemicals or petroleum products will not be spilled or sprayed on the
cable.
Cable should be stored in an area away from open fires or sources of high heat.
If the reels are relocated, they should be handled as suggested in the “Recommended Reel Handling Practices”
section, and inspection made on each reel during the relocation.
If the cables are stored in a secure area and not exposed to the effects of the weather, an annual inspection
should be satisfactory.
Where the reels are exposed to the weather, a bimonthly inspection should be performed to observe any sign of
deterioration.
If the reels are exposed in a non-secure area, policing of the area at frequent intervals may be required
depending on circumstances.
Records of delivery date, manufacturer, installation date, any extenuating circumstances, along with all test
reports, should be kept on file.

POWERING YOUR
As developments in the transit industry continue to increase
the demand for safety, instantaneous response to commands
and the significant reduction of braking distances at higher
speeds, General Cable continues to respond with the latest
engineered designs.
General Cable’s years of dedicated material development,
engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing processes
were called upon by the transit industry to engineer Electronically
Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brake cables that would meet the
stringent standards of AAR S-4210 and be designed specifically
for installation both under and between cars.
General Cable’s ECP brake cables are the chosen solution for
demanding environments, thanks to an engineered construction.
Unique insulation system utilizing 125°C thermosetting
polyolefin cross-linked compound for high-temperature areas
The reduction of EMI/RFI interference with a tinned copper
braided shield
Arctic-grade, heavy-duty reinforced Neoprene jacket that
provides excellent low-temperature performance and tough
mechanical properties
Optional galvanized or aluminum armor over the cable jacket
allows for conduit-free installations, providing significant
installed cost savings
