Over 200 Power and Signal Insert Arrangements
Plus: Connector Accessories and Assembly Tools

Rail and transportation systems represent one of the most challenging environments for the longterm survivability and reliability of interconnect cables and assemblies. From high-speed rail transportation systems to heavy railway freight lines, the standard daily fare of the rail industry is one harsh environmental challenge after another. Electrical and signal interconnections in rail car linkages, for example, are subject to significant environmental abuse. Undercar cables, exposed to splashing, mud, diesel exhaust and high heat, require extremely robust environmental protection. Locomotives are brutal testing grounds for cable systems which are subjected to hot oils, solvents, and fuel spills, not to mention high heat and other environmental stress factors.

In fact, it’s fair to say that the harsh environment of a locomotive engine compartment is where poorly designed or minimally protected interconnect cables go to die. For this reason, the art of designing rail industry interconnect cables that provide long life and value depends on a comprehensive understanding of the environmental stress factors that can, at a minimum, diminish performance, and at their worst lead to complete system failure. Glenair is an expert in the design of cable, box and conduit wire protection systems that prevent environmental damage and ensure longevity of service. The design and manufacture of environmentally sealed connectors, backshells and other components that keep interconnect systems free of corrosion has been our bread-and-butter business for over 50 years.

This catalog presents one of the core Glenair interconnect technologies that is specifically geared for use in rail systems, agricultural equipment, military vehicles and other harsh, environmental applications. Glenair Series ITS and ITS-RG connectors are perfectly suited to address every rail industry interconnect challenge. These ruggedized, MIL-DTL-5015 type reverse bayonet connectors are deployed in virtually every rail industry sub-system including:

• Automatic Train Control (ATC) Systems
• High Temperature Engine Controls and Sensors
• Speed Sensors
• Diagnostics
• Braking Systems
• Anti-skid Systems
• Traction Motors
• Converters
• 

• Couplers
• Pantographs
• Electronic Monitoring and Diagnostic Systems
• Intracar/Intercar/Undercar Cabling Systems
