120Ω Databus Cable for Rail Vehicles as per EN 45545-2
HUBER+SUHNER now offers new 120Ω databus cables for train communication networks (TCNs). The new RADOX® DATABUS 120Ω EN cables meet the corresponding databus standards and can thus be used as MVB, WTB or UIC cables. They use electron-beam crosslinked materials, making them suitable for applications that involve high and low temperatures.
RADOX® RAILCAT CAT7 with M12 connectors
Railway vehicles regularly face the challenge of evenly distributing increasing volumes of data across a reliable and secure Ethernet network.
SENCITY Rail MIMO
HUBER+SUHNER's SENCITY® Rail MIMO is an omnidirectional rooftop antenna that is part of the SENCITY® Rail antenna portfolio.
SENCITY® Rail MIMO Low-Profile Antenna
The SENCITY® Rail MIMO antenna perfectly fits for the European market. Using this antenna with just 40mm height, double-decker trains or trains normally travelling in tunnels with tight gauges can be upgraded to the 4G/LTE standard.
Thin-Wall Signalling Cables
As the amount of electrical equipment installed in trains rises, so does the need for an increasing number of cables. Today, there can be between 40km and 80km of cable installed for every 100m. This makes use of space and weight of cabling a critical factor.
White Papers
CBTC Connectivity Solutions
The overall performance of a rail rapid transit system depends largely on the performance of the automatic train control (ATC) system employed. A communication-based train control (CBTC) system is devised by adding modern communication technologies to the ATC concept.
Inter-Vehicle Jumper Systems
Today's inter-vehicle jumper systems must be capable of withstanding a diverse array of electrical, mechanical and climatic conditions.
Railway Connectivity
Today's rail transport must be fast, efficient and safe. At the same time, it should also provide exceptional comfort and service to its passengers. Modern and complex systems are entering the market that enable train operators to fulfil these requirements.
On-Train Fibre-Optic Connectivity
Applications such as on-board internet, communication-based train control and passenger information or entertainment systems require the reliable transmission of ever greater data volumes in trains.
