The GEXOL cable insulation materials used by Nexans AmerCable in its railway cables were originally developed by General Electric in the 1980s for use on diesel-electric locomotives.

Since 1980, AmerCable has been a leading manufacturer of flexible single-conductor diesel locomotive (DLO) cables. In the early 1990s, AmerCable began delivering traction power cable to the biggest us transit authorities.

Nexans AmerCable has updated all its industry associated certifications such as AREMA, UL RHH-RHW, CSA RW90 and is fully “Buy America” compliant.
