It has come to notice that usage, termination and wiring of quad cable is far from
satisfactory for trouble-free working of electronic equipments like digital axle
counters/UFSBI. Basic issue pertains to electromagnetic interference from
parallel circuits in the cable and location.

Following guidelines are recommended to enhance performance of DAC systems.

1. Parallel circuits:
a. Requirement is that parallel circuits shall be as far spaced, spatially, as
possible. Long parallel circuits shall be avoided in the same quad. So, one long
and one short circuit can be accommodated in same quad but not both long
circuits.

b. DAC circuits in BPAC of up and down lines in double line sections shall be in
separate quads and kept one/two quad distance away from each other to
avoid mutual interference in long parallel circuits.

c. DAC circuits in location shall not be bunched along with parallel relay/power
circuits. Relay circuits are known to generate switching transients that can
couple enough energy in parallel circuits nearby and interfere with low
power DAC data circuits.

d. Any other parallel wiring (relay circuits/power circuits/earthing wires etc)

shall cross DAC circuits at perpendicular and any parallel portion shall be kept
at minimum 150mm (lateral distance) away from the wiring for DAC
circuits.

e. Relay circuits shall preferably be not taken in same cable as DAC circuits. In
unavoidable circumstances relay circuits shall be in furthest quad (spatially)
from the one containing DAC circuits.

2. Twisting of cable pair:

a. Twisted pairs are required to avoid mutual interference between low level
data signals. Even short lengths of non- twisting (few inches) can couple
enough noise to interfere with low voltage DAC communication signals.

b. Quad cable twisting shall be ensured during termination so that minimum

one twist per inch is maintained till the last inch into terminations.

c. Any wiring from quad cable terminations to equipment shall be done using
twisted singles of indoor signalling cable (1 mm square) or any other
approved indoor twisted pair cable.

d. Signalling cable or any other untwisted cable pair shall never be used in
DAC communication circuits to avoid intermittent type of failure.

3. Wiring & Terminations:

a. Preferably, quad cable shall be terminated in cage clamp type terminals

that provide solid 360 degree surface connection and sufficient pressure on
the wire to make a good electrical contact.

b. Cables shall be terminated at the bottom portion of location keeping

equipment and their wiring at higher level inside location. This will help in
keeping wiring of different types segregated from each other. All earth wires
and surge protection devices also shall be kept at the lower levels for the same
reasons.

c. Wiring and cabling shall not be bent abruptly and shall be given sufficient
bending radius to ensure that conductors inside the cabling/wiring are not
damaged due to bending.

d. Wiring shall be properly supported by channels troughing, cable clamps

and other means to ensure that connections are not under pressure due to
wire hang.

e. Wiring and cabling shall not be supported at any sharp edged object to
ensure that conductors are not damaged during their
installation/maintenance.

4. Continuity and Earthing of cable armor & screen at intermediate

terminations/Joints:

a. Screening of quad cable is effective only when sufficient induced current can
flow in the screen thereby cancelling/reducing the induction from 25KV AC
for the cable conductors. For adequate induced current to flow in screen, it is
necessary that good earth connections are provided for cable screen &
armor.

b. Quad cable screen & armor shall be made electrically continuous at the
intermediate terminations/ joints by soldering and connecting both ends of
cable screens & amours at the locations.

c. Connections to screen shall preferably be made by thin metallic clamps

soldered to screens to ensure good surface connection for electrical
continuity.

d. Combined Earth for armor and screen at intermediate locations shall have
earth values as low as possible but shall be never more than 5 ohms.

e. Earth connections shall be kept as short and as straight as possible

because any loop or turns can create inductive elements that impede quick
discharge of transients and surges to ground.
