Benefits

  • Good chemical resistance please see Appendix T1
  • Resistant to mechanical influences in harsh environmental conditions
  • Extended temperature range
  • Reduced flame spreading increases the protection against damage to persons and property in the event of a fire
  • EMC-optimised design

Application range

  • The communication systems WTB (wire train bus) and MVB (multifunction vehicle bus) make up the so-called TCN (train communication network)
  • UNITRONIC® TRAIN bus cables are designed for use in TCN acc. IEC 61375
    MVB according IEC 61375-3-1
    WTB according IEC 61375-2-1
  • For use in railway vehicles and buses, for fixed installations and applications where limited movement may occur
  • Also applicable within oily environments and areas with increased ambient temperature
