Comprehensive portfolio of interconnect solutions supports most recent PTC initiatives

CDM Electronics has a comprehensive array of semi-custom and custom cable assemblies optimized to meet the latest requirements of PTC systems that are designed to prevent train-to-train collisions, derailments caused by excessive speeds, unauthorized train movements in work zones, and the movement of trains through switches left in the wrong position. The company’s PTC coaxial/RF and Ethernet (RJ45) assemblies and interconnect systems are specifically engineered to ensure the functionally and reliability of PTC wireless networks, and are provided in a variety of configurations, including those featuring low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH). Their semi-custom and custom cable assemblies are ideal for employment in the full spectrum of PTC systems, regardless of their complexity, sophistication, level of automation, functionality being implemented and system architecture utilized, including wayside systems (e.g., non-signaled, block signal, cab signal, etc.) and the degree of train control. They are most commonly used to support onboard locomotives and rolling stock, communication/antenna towers, WIU, base stations, signal, switch and operations control, and SCADA systems. Assemblies are equally appropriate in signal crossing gates, railway, and surface transit station systems.
