Signal cable laying system
As you say, you have no further context, but as I understand it, if we're talking about track laying, there is also equipment that can lay signal cables simultaneously.
Perhaps they are talking of the integration of signal cable laying technology within the carriage of the machine that also lays track.
I hope this is of some help.

Example sentence:
How can signal cable laying technology be integrated in the carriage?
Discussion
In London for example, a lot of the tube lines are being fitted with a similar automatic signalling system within the train itself; when a certain point is reached and the path ahead is clear, the automatic signalling system within the driver's cab permits the train to continue.
