Application of Cables in Vehicle Sensors

1.Product industry background

With the rapid development of the rail transportation industry, the level of vehicle intelligence and automation is constantly improving, the sensor as the vehicle senses the external environment, to achieve accurate control of the key components, the stability and reliability of its performance is directly related to the safe operation of the vehicle. Sensor cable as a bridge connecting the sensor and vehicle control system, its quality and performance is also critical. At present, there is a growing demand for high-performance, high-reliability sensor cables in the market, especially in the field of high-speed rail, subway, light rail and other rail transportation.

2. The pain point analysis

In the application of sensor cables for rail transit vehicles, the following pain points exist:

Poor environmental adaptability: rail transit vehicle operating environment is complex and variable, the cable needs to withstand high temperature, low temperature, humidity, vibration and other harsh conditions.
Serious electromagnetic interference: the complexity of the electromagnetic environment within the vehicle, the cable needs to have a good anti-electromagnetic interference capability to ensure stable signal transmission.
High security requirements: the sensor cable is directly related to the safe operation of the vehicle, so the cable fire, flame retardant and other safety performance requirements are extremely high.

3.The vehicle sensor cable requirements

For the above pain points, TST CABLES vehicle sensor cables need to meet the following requirements:

1. excellent environmental adaptability, able to work stably in a wide range of temperatures, and has excellent anti-vibration, anti-shock properties.
2. Good electromagnetic compatibility, can effectively inhibit electromagnetic interference, to ensure the accurate transmission of signals.
3. High safety performance, cable materials need to meet the fire, low smoke, halogen-free flame retardant and other safety standards to reduce the risk of fire.

4.Certification standards

Vehicle sensor cables need to meet the relevant certification standards at home and abroad, such as UL, EN, cUL, CSA, VDE, CCC, IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 ROHS, CRCC, REACH certified, etc., in order to ensure that the products are safe, environmentally friendly and compliant. At the same time, it is also necessary to meet the specific standards of the rail transportation industry, such as IEC 60332, EN 50264, EN 50306, EN 50382, EN45545-2, etc., to ensure that the cable is safe for application in the field of rail transportation.

5. Cable Selection

According to the specific requirements of vehicle sensor cables, TST CABLES recommends the selection of comprehensive sheathed cables with excellent performance. The cable adopts high-quality insulation materials and sheath materials, with good electrical performance, mechanical properties and environmental adaptability. At the same time, the cable structure is compact, easy to install and maintain, and can meet the diversified needs of sensor cables for rail transit vehicles.

Selection parameters for reference (can be customized according to actual needs)
