DATABUS CABLES

MVB(Multifunction Vehicle Bus)Cables(Redundant Version)

FRA-MVB-02YS(ST+C)H-1Q0.5S+4C0.25S

Cross-linked Oil Resistance HFFR Sheath

Tin Plated Copper Braid
Plastic Tape
Stranded Tin Plated Copper Conductor
Foam Skin Insulation

Application
The cables are designed for permanent installation inside of rolling stock to connect fixed parts. A typical application is a
communication system in a locomotive. The system uses a wire backed bus system to the TCN standard for control and
instrumentation and for diagnostics. This bus system consists of the rail bus WTB (Wired Train Bus) and the road bus MVB
(Multifunction Vehicle Bus) which are connected via redundant gateways.

Construction
Conductor
Stranded tin plated copper conductor according to IEC 60228 class 5
Insulation
Foam skin-composite PE made of inner cellular layer and outer solid skin
Core Wrapping
Plastic tape(s)
EMC Screen
Tin plated copper braid
Outer Sheath
Cross-linked oil resistant LSZH compound.
