UIC-IT – Cost effective, fast and reliable data communication
Connectors for data communication in rail vehicles qualified for GbE up to Cat 7
UIC-IT
Robust and state-of-the-art Ethernet solutions for fast data comunication are required by today‘s rail vehicles. The UIC-IT series from Schaltbau meets those requirements providing a highly flexible, universal and reliable Ethernet connection option for the harsh railway environment with a design life that will last for decades.
The UIC-IT Series connector is fitted with up to two 8 pole Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) module and 16 optional signal contacts that allows for universal and compatible connections. It is designed for use with various types of rail vehicles, making it possible to combine rolling stock of different manufacturers and railway operators.
Features

Applications
Data transmission with high transmisson rates via Gigabit Ethernet fascilitated by a long-lasting heavy-duty connector is tantamount to high network availability. With its new UIC-IT series Schaltbau is likely to set a standard for data connections in rail vehicles.
We can also supply contact inserts for special applications.
