UIC Series  Inter-car jumpers to UIC 558 VE

Schaltbau jumpers for inter-car connections to UIC standard –

cost-effective, durable and highly reliable
The rugged jumpers typically connect lines used for the remote control Break-away connector that ensures, provided the receptacle is installed
of lights and train doors or for public address systems in passenger in the correct position, a non-destructive separation of plug and recep-
coaches of trains or diesel and electric multiple units. They are also tacle when two electrically not decoupled vehicles move apart. The
ideally suited for the transmission of binary data, as for instance, via jumpers fully comply with the requirements of UIC 558 VE
CAN bus. (until 1994: UIC 568 VE).
