Handsets, Microphones and Speakers for Trains
pei tel is a German manufacturer of high quality communication solutions and radio accessories ideally suited for the rail industry. The product range covers a wide selection of handsets, microphones and speakers.
Handset with LCD display, keypad and push-to-talk button is one of the highlights in pei tel range of products suited for the rail industry. It comes with integrated microcontroller, dynamic ear capsule and electret microphone capsule suitable for analog and digital radio systems. The housing is flame resistant and the display is graphics capable with backlight. Customized versions are available on request.
pei tel’s IP67 waterproof hand held rugged chromed housing omnidirectional microphone is ideal for use in trains by the conductors. The microphone comes with a durable spiral cable and with three buttons as a standard with protection against unintentional button presses with long life switching contacts.
pei tel’s dynamic gooseneck microphone with rugged housing offers a durable solution for rail applications. The same as with the handheld microphone, this gooseneck microphone comes with protection against unintentional button presses with long life switching contacts. It provides unidirectional noise cancelling and can be supplied with various gooseneck lengths. Special colour and symbol buttons are also available.
Offering IP65 protection class and high sound output, pei tel’s 8 and 16 ohm compact horn loudspeaker offer a robust option for rail platforms. Supplied with rugged salt fog resistant black or red flame resistant plastic housing making it suited also for harsh environments.
Cable Glands for Rail Applications
Hummel is a renowned German manufacturer of connection technology and their product range consists of wide range of cable glands and circular connectors.
Hummel’s IP68/IP69k polyamide V0 HSK-K cable glands are a prime example of products well suited for rail industry applications and in use in the global rail sector already. They comply with the highest quality and safety demands and come in range of sizes. Standard colour options include black, grey and blue, but other options are available on request. Standard sealing material is Buna-N, although other sealing materials are also available. Operating temperature range of -40 Celsius to +100 Celsius degrees. A variety of approval certifications come as standard with this gland series.
M12 Connectors Suited for Rail Projects
Provertha’s range of M12, Field Bus and D-Sub connectors and hoods is a range designed to meet the demands of rail project applications, such as audio visual communication, passenger information displays, video surveillance, ticket machines and passenger entertainment.
M12 crimp cable connectors for secure railway and transportation applications are key area of Provertha’s product range. The M12 range offers straight and right angle male and female connectors, bulkhead and panel mount types, versions without cable shield termination as well as panel mount connectors with WireClip assembly for economic and safe solder process.
One of the highlights of Provertha’s range is M12 X-Code field assembly crimp cable connectors for secure 10Gbit Hi-Speed Ethernet providing safe signal transmission due to machined crimp gold contacts and enabling the use of highly flexible cables. Secure cable shield termination is achieved under any condition due to crimp flange system. It enables safe cable shield transfer to device connector without interruption on vibration or shock due to torsion proof cable strain relief, crimp insert and hexagonal crimp of the crimp sleeve. Provertha also offers M12 D- and X-coded 90 degree IP67 rated connectors which fulfil the requirements for reliable Ethernet connection and interference-proof data transmission in railway technology in situations with low installation depth.
RF and Datavoice Components for Rail Applications
Telegärtner’s RF connectors offer a wide selection of standard products usable for applications in the transportation of goods and people as well as position finding. Small sized RF connectors are ideal for limited space environments, and Telegärtner’s range covers multitude of connector types (QLS, SMA, R-SMA, SMB/SMC/SMS, SMP, MCX, MMCX and SSMB) and offers easy-to-install miniature connectors for flexible, semi-flex and semi-rigid cables. A wide selection of medium and large sized RF connectors are also available; BNC, R-BNC, TNC, R-TNC, Mini-UHF, 1.6-5.6, pH, F, FME, 7-16, N, 4.3-10 and UHF. These connectors are mechanically stable and can be plugged and unplugged easily. They can be used for device-external indoor connections for signal, data and video transmission. With good return loss values, which are needed for transmitting medium and high powers at high frequencies, they are well suited for example for signal or data transmission in mobile radio communication.
High transmission rates are a must for cabling components in industrial environments even with the exposure to dust, moisture, chemicals or extreme temperatures. Telegärtner’s datavoice industry cabling components ensure reliable connections in these harsher environments. Telegärtner’s MFP8 Cat.6A field assembly RJ45 plug enables efficient on site assembly for all networks without the need for any special tools and offers unprecedented flexibility and saves time and money on installation, repairs and maintenance.
