What is the CARTER 6?

The CARTER 6 is a robust and fully configurable connector that enables the connection between a train’s carriages and its locomotive. This link is essential for transmitting critical data on:

  • Load distribution between carriages

  • Status of the electrical system

  • Braking system

This data transfer allows the operator to have full, real-time control over the train’s condition, enhancing both operational efficiency and overall safety.

 

 

 

 

Key Technical Features

🔩 Modular and configurable design (power pins, signal, fiber optics…)
⚙️ Anti-vibration system to ensure stability under extreme conditions
🛠️ Custom manufacturing for seamless integration into any railway environment
🔒 High mechanical and electrical reliability
🔌 Power and signal contacts integrated into a single base

Engineered to withstand the railway environment

The locomotive environment is subject to constant vibrations, thermal changes, and demanding conditions. That’s why the CARTER 6 has been engineered with high-resistance materials and fastening systems that guarantee a stable and secure connection throughout the journey.
