PRESS RELEASE

ELAND CABLES DOUBLES ITS RANGE OF NR-APPROVED

RAIL TELECOMS CABLES

2ND OCTOBER 2009: Eland Cables is once again strengthening its railway
telecoms portfolio, with a further 32 Network Rail approvals. In securing product
acceptance on a full range of ZHLS Telecom cables, Eland has consolidated its
position as a leading UK rail cable supplier - offering more Network Rail
approved telecoms cables than any of its competitors.

Awarded on 11 September 2009, the Network Rail approval (NR/PR/TEL/00015 –

formerly known as RT/E/PS/00015) covers 32 variants of 0.63mm and 0.9mm
ZHLS and Armoured ZHLS Cables. This builds on Eland’s success earlier this
year when, as part of its product acceptance strategy, 32 variants of PE and
Armoured PE Copper Trackside Cables were also approved.

‘Quality is of the utmost importance at Eland and so we are thrilled to have

Network Rail acknowledge our high standards once more,’ says Technical and
Projects Manager Chris Barnes, who managed the approval process. ‘We are
always looking to improve our service and extending our cable range is an
important part of this,’ adds Managing Director Philip Brown. ‘Our extensive
range of railway cables allows us to offer customers more choice than any other
rail cable supplier and puts us in a strong position to support railway projects
throughout the UK.’

Cable are available to download at www.eland.co.uk/railwaycable/telecomcable/.
