Analysis and measurement technology: Safety first – your 1st class ticket for on-board electronics

The railway industry, especially in the field of passenger transport, is subject to increasingly stringent safety regulations with regard to FST (Flame-Smoke-Toxicity).
Device Technologies develops edge and wire protection solutions for train electronics and professional sealing solutions.
Faster and faster, more and more comfortable, fully equipped with the latest communication technology – these are today’s modern trains.
Hidden, in the narrowest of spaces, a network of cables runs in floors, ceilings and walls.
Our aim is to prevent cables from breaking by rubbing against sharp edges. A short circuit would have fatal consequences!
Device Technologies has developed the SL-FST grommet edging for sensitive electronics especially for use in trains.
Our components are made of a very hard-wearing material which protects the installed cables sufficiently without being affected by vibrations, extreme temperature fluctuations and abrasion.
A special feature is the snap-on installation of our SL-FST grommet edging. Attach it in a few easy steps, without any harmful adhesives!
This means – a 49 % reduction in installation costs is possible. Therefore, not only economic wire protection, but also employment protection is very close to our hearts.
Productivity is increased and working time is reduced, as additional materials and work steps are no longer necessary.
Our SL-FST edge protection minimizes the potential danger in the event of a fire, as it is made of a steel-reinforced special thermoplastic that does not support combustion and does not produce toxic smoke. Thus, our edge protection fulfils the requirements of DIN EN 45545-2 and has the qualification for hazard levels 2 and 3 and meets the highest requirements within the framework of DIN.
The challenge is – these regulations vary from country to country!
DTi device technologies GmbH supports railway OEMs in selecting the FST-relevant materials according to the regional safety regulations.
Rely on fire-resistant materials for edge protection profiles, wire protection for on-board electronics, as well as seals that always comply with the latest safety standards.
In this way, you reduce the risk of injuries, property damage or, in the worst case, even fires in rail transport.

Professional fiber optic cable management solutions for stable data transmission at the speed of light

Especially in today’s times, we are clearly reminded of how important fast, stable data lines are. Old copper cables will soon be obsolete and the word fiber optic is on everyone’s lips. But installing and working with these wafer-thin fibers requires special treatment. This is the only way to avoid internet interruptions and data loss.
Our Fast-Drop® Radius Control Modules (RCM) prevent the fibers from kinking and breaking (macrobends). This is because a bending radius of less than 6 cm leads to increased attenuation values and thus to a reduction in data transmission/data speed.
This special cable management system for the fiber optic and IT sector offers safety when installing servers, street cabinets or the heart of the fiber optic expansion – the PoP (Point of Presence).
This is the technical interface, the central point for all customers.
The highest security standards must be maintained here.
With the Fast-Drop® Radius Control Module cable management, you can ensure an undisturbed data flow at the speed of light quickly, easily and yet securely. It enables quick changes to existing rack systems and simplifies all installation and maintenance work due to the perfectly organized fibers, cables and much more.
In order to minimize the downtime of services at the customer or companies during maintenance and installation work, many telecommunication companies already rely on the Fast-Drop® Radius Control Modules (RCM) from Device Technologies. The patented simple clip-on design is significantly faster to install than standard designs and offers maximum flexibility in processing.
Faster installation with the patented simple clip-on design of the Fast-Drop® Radius Control Modules (RCM) – The basis for stable data transmission, minimized installation times and considerably simplified maintenance work or retrofits in the future.

Further information
Fast-Drop® Radius Control Modules can be used individually as a corner block. Used together, our Fast-Drop® Radius Control Modules offer the option of neatly and securely storing excess fibers or fibers planned for the future. Pre-configured arrays are also available. Fibers can be mounted both horizontally and vertically with Fast-Drop® Radius Control Modules. The integrated clip enables significantly faster installation, without adhesives or additional components. Our Fast-Drop® Radius Control Modules comply with NEBS/BICSI standards, are flame retardant – UL94 V-0 and RoHS compliant.
