Huber and Suhner - Railway Electrical Cables

The rail industry has to deliver increasing safety, reliability, energy efficiency and comfort. In addition, more onboard services are being installed for the traveller, such as information and Internet access services.

As a result of more electronics being installed, space and weight constraints become greater. Our high-performance cables are designed to be smaller and lighter than conventional cables and are coupled with safety features to protect the passenger.

Huber and Suhner offers leading brands like Radox and Sencity and a wide range of products, which provide the platform to build modern rail transport systems. These products are developed for high quality needs and specifically designed for applications such as train positioning (Global Positioning System [GPS]), cellular distribution for mobile telephone access, WiFi distribution for on-train internet access, CCTV for video surveillance, passenger infotainment systems for real-time passenger information and entertainment, OTMR for train diagnostics during operation, inter-vehicle jumper systems and profiles for safety and comfort.

IN-CARRIAGE AND LOCOMOTIVE CABLES

Our broad range of products is used in a range of applications, including locomotives and traction systems, passenger rolling stock, inter-vehicle and bogies, in-carriage subsystems (such as air conditioning, monitoring and instrumentation), and wireless access (GSM-R and wireless LANs).

From our core competencies we provide:

• RADOX cables and harnesses for the rail industry
• Antenna products, in train and trackside
• RF connectors and assemblies
• Jumper cable and bogie cabling solutions
• Fire-resistant cables (circuit integrity)
• Cubicle engineering and wiring
• High-voltage DC blocks up to 15kV
• Lightning-protection solutions
• Elastomer profiles for windows and doors

TRAIN POWER AND CONTROL CABLES

Huber and Suhner supply complete cable systems consisting of our own cables and components, as well as third-party materials. Huber and Suhner is the professional partner for development and manufacture of system solutions, combining all competences and products to a customised solution.

Huber and Suhner can provide references for various types of assembled systems: from tram to high-speed train, from carriage couplings to control panel, and from a simple point-to-point connection to wiring the complete locomotive.

We produce Radox power cables, control cables and power and control jumper cables. Additionally, we manufacture Radox databus cables and system solutions for all rolling stock and industrial harness requirements.

COST-EFFICIENT TRAIN CABLE SYSTEMS

With a project-orientated business model, Huber and Suhner are able to handle complex and demanding projects. The access to a worldwide network of low-cost production sites allows Huber and Suhner to provide savings to the customer with recognised high quality.

RAIL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION ANTENNAS

Huber and Suhner antennas offer distinct advantages for mobile wireless multi-media services. The antennas are specifically designed for the rail market, allowing for wireless communication in a variety of applications.

Our trainborne antennas are external antennas covering frequencies from 870MHz to 5.9GHz, including a GPS antenna with its pre-amplifier. We also manufacture trackside, directional and bi-directional antennas for WiFi and GSM-R applications.

IN-CARRIAGE AND BRIDGING ANTENNAS

We produce in-carriage and bridging antennas for WiFi and cellular distribution systems within train carriages, and wireless bridges between carriages.
