Railways are the cornerstone of many countries and play a key role in competitive ability, transporting goods to seaports and other distribution centers. The resilience of many countries depends on a multimodal transport system that effectively connects businesses to consumers, suppliers, markets and the global economy.

Within these three segments, LAPP focuses on the Rolling Stock segment and part of Systems Technology focuses on trains. When dealing with passenger and freight transport, the main characteristics of the Rolling Stock business are high fire safety requirements to protect people and property.

To select a fiber optic cable, it will be necessary to know the following minimum data: • What type of protection should the cable have or the application? • What type of fiber optic? • How many fibers should the cable have? • Length? It is essential to know that the supply value of a fiber optic cable depends on the way it is constructed and the type of protection present in the line. Thus, it is essential to adapt the cable offer to the customer’s needs or application of the cable. Then we point out a cable selector in comparison with the scenario in which it will be applied: In the Next WeekTech info, we will cover the types of optical fiber that exist.
