The ITT Solution …
High Temperature
environments where
signal integrity is critical
ITT ICS answered this challenge with a new High
temperature CIR connector exceeding 15 minutes
(30 min) of exposure to the ISO 834-1mandated
heating curve. Consequently, the connectors
remain active while the train moves away from the
site of accident or fire. Critical control signals
remain viable without the need for complex
technical solutions.
