Control centers and technical rooms are where all the elements of an efficient rail network come together. Vital supervision and signaling equipment can sit alongside railway security systems, Passenger Information Systems, CCTV, SCADA and Advanced Ticketing Systems.
Remote Hardware Management Enabling the Digitization of Rail
With the expanding deployment of digital rail technology, there is a growing need to remotely monitor and control sensitive equipment in technical control rooms throughout the rail network. Higher levels of control and condition monitoring for cooling and other key parameters are possible at the rack and system level.
Learn how this can be achieved in the below webinar!

Protecting Electronics in a Challenging Environment
RAILWAY CABINETS FOR RAIL SIGNALING
VARISTAR CP - Electronics Cabinet for Indoor Railway Systems
The nVent SCHROFF Varistar CP with EMC is one of the few electronic cabinets which has been tested successfully according to EN 61000-5-7 up to 18 GHz in addition to IEC 61587-3 and offers best-in-class shielding protection: Attenuation of 40 dB at 3 GHz and 30 dB at 10 GHz with a solid door.
High-performance EMC protection for rail signaling and communication equipment
- Signaling and communications equipment has to perform safely, especially in critical environments
- Ensuring effective coordination of trains, through a reliable and high speed data bandwidth
- Improving real-time data integrity, minimizing delays, ensuring immediate maintenance.
Ensuring Cyber Security
Mechatronic Access Controls for Electronics Cabinets
- LED display for operating status and alarms
- Can be used with proximity cards (HID and Mifare)
- Stand-alone or networked operation
- Master/slave handle configuration can be set individually
- Vandalism alarm
- Integrates into existing management systems and administration software
VARISTAR CP: MASTERING EVERY DISCIPLINE
Vibration and Shock Resistant
The nVent SCHROFF Varistar CP electronics cabinet must operate in accordance with the requirements of all situations. It has therefore been designed such that you can depend on it one-hundred percent even under extreme environmental conditions. After all, it is reliability, down to the last detail, that makes complex safety tasks achievable - and also economic.

Two Classes of Payload, One Cabinet
-
Slim-Line: The special Slim-Line extruded profile is capable of a static load-carrying capacity of 400 kg with a minimum of materials, and satisfies the DL5 and DL6 requirement classes of IEC 61587-1 for dynamic loads.
- Heavy-Duty: The robust Heavy-Duty frame was specially designed for high load-carrying applications. Thanks to its higher bending stiffness it can accept a static load of 800 kg, while under dynamic loads it satisfies classes DL5 and DL6 of IEC 61587-1. Dynamic tests also demonstrate earthquake resistance up to bellcore zone 4.
