Transportation
Connectivity for Bus and Rail

Solutions for all wiring levels

Trains are divided into four wiring levels. The Ethernet-Train-Backbone uses connectors with high transmission rates up to 10GBit/s according to Cat6A. For the Ethernet-Consist-Network, components with lower data rates of up to 100MBits/s according to Cat5e are sufficient. The third level consists of standard sensor-/actuator wiring for e.g. door systems. In the fourth level, power connectors are used to ensure the power supply.

ESCHA offers the appropriate and standard-compliant connectivity for all levels.

Individual harnesses

Despite serial production we offer customer-specific cable lengths. Upon request we deliver pooled harnesses with markings to facilitate the installation of our cables and to accelerate production sequences on customer side.

Compact and field-wireable

Field-wireable connectors can be used wherever a high degree of flexibility is required. Initially unknown cable-lengths or panel-feed-throughs are perfect examples. ESCHA offers the most compact field-wireable M12-connectors for rail applications. The 4-pole connectors with A-coding (sensor/actuator) or D-coding (ECN) are a little bit taller than 40mm and meet the important DIN EN 45545-2 and DIN EN 50155 standards. Thanks to their low weight and compact housing-style, they are the perfect solution for railway applications with minimum installation space.

ESCHA test lab

All necessary tests to guarantee a safe and reliable use of our products in bus- and rail applications are carried out and documented in the ESCHA test lab. This includes IP-tests for highest protection classes, customer-specific shock- and vibration requirements as well as application related climatic tests and temperature shocks. Furthermore, we have our own high-frequency lab and cooperate with accredited test labs, as required.
