Railway
Railway infrastructure demands reliable cable management to ensure smooth operation of critical systems like signaling, telecommunications, and power distribution. Our durable, weather-resistant solutions offer easy installation, supporting both modern and legacy railway networks effectively.
Challenges
Railway cable management faces distinct challenges due to harsh environmental conditions like extreme weather and constant vibration. Solutions must meet stringent safety regulations for fire resistance and emissions, ensuring system safety and reliability. Space constraints and integration with existing infrastructure demand compact, adaptable systems that allow easy maintenance access to minimize downtime. Additionally, future-proofing is essential, enabling seamless upgrades without costly infrastructure overhauls as railway technology advances.
Solutions
We provide a range of GRP cable support systems for rail applications, including cable ladders, trays/troughing, posts, and accessories, designed to meet the specific needs of the rail segment.
As a comprehensive manufacturer of corrosion-resistant industrial cable support products, Mita – powered by Wibe Group, has the solutions and expertise to specify a suitable solution, and deliver a product which can support any type of power circuit, cable, data and instrumentation.

Resin types for railway applications
Mita offers two resin types suitable for railway:
Polyester Type 1 (PY1) has excellent fire retardance, which makes it suitable for railway, trackside or any other application requiring UL94 compliance and 5VA classification.
Modified Acrylic (MX) is great for any underground and tunnel application thanks to its BS6853 Smoke Emissions standard, and BS476-6 Fire Test compliance.
