Ethernet™ Cable for Rolling Stock RailNETSTAR™

In railway vehicles, the amount of information handled is increasing, including the use of Ethernet as the backbone transmission, in-car guidance displays, digital signage, and Internet access services for passengers. Furthermore, in order to improve safety, the installation of on-board cameras is progressing, and communication cables for railway vehicles are required to be smaller in diameter, lighter in weight, and faster in transmission. We offer products that meet these needs.

Features

  • 100Mbps to 10Gbps is available.
  • Rolling stock cable for fixed installation compliant with Japanese Railway Material Flammability Test(JRIS J 1000, Section 5.6) and European Norm EN45545-2.
  • Halogen-free
  • Excellent handing by stranded conductor structure.
