CABLES AND CABLE ACCESSORIES


T A simple solution to trackside rodent control


rackside cable routes and enclosures are irresistible, warm dry places, with


many points of access, through which ro- dents can squeeze and make a nest.


Problems occur because rodents love to chew, gnawing through protective plastic sheathing and dangerously exposing vital trackside cables. With a break in signal control, whole sections of railway can be put out of use until the fault is located and repaired, resulting in expensive engineer- ing costs and possible train delays.


Kleeneze Sealtech, the leading UK manu- facturer of brush strip seals, introduced RODENTBRUSH as a simple and effec- tive solution to the problem of rodent intrusion. The spiky, spiral nature of RODENTBRUSH was known to be ir- ritating to rodents and trials at various trackside locations where rodents were previously known to be a problem proved the product to be an effective deterrent. Constructed using fire retardant and insu- lated materials and available in lengths up to 5.2m, RODENTBRUSH was awarded

In trackside troughs, it can be laid on top of the cables, filling the cavity and deter- ring rodents, whilst in signal boxes and en- closures, RODENTBRUSH can be pushed into gaps and spaces at the base of the com- partment to deter to inquisitive rodents. It can be exposed to all the elements and un- like other forms of pest control, the open


nature of the product allows air to circu- late, water to drain away and it can be eas- ily removed for routine maintenance, then replaced for ongoing cable protection.
