Prysmian BICON Flexo Point Machine Coupler System

Product overview

Prysmian BICON Flexo Point Machine Coupler System provides a reliable, easy to install connection from the point machine to the disconnect box. The cornerstone of the design is a plug and socket arrangement on the point machine. Pre-terminated leads complete the system with a socket on one end and a moulded palm on the other. Possession times are dramatically reduced by using the Prysmian plug coupler system:
– Specially designed for use with Alstom HW point machine.
– Nickel plated brass plug and socket arrangement will not deteriorate during service.
– Vulcanized neoprene, fully bonded to the cable sheath, provides a waterproof seal with excellent strain relief.
– Pre-terminated socket leads, available with moulded palm on the other end of the cable.
– Available in standard lengths: 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m. Any required length can be supplied in 5m increments.
– Designed for use with Prysmian Disconnect Boxes (please see separate datasheet).
– Low smoke, zero halogen cable version is available.
– Quick, accurate connection at disconnect box.
– Satisfies the continuous drive within the rail industry for improvements to trackside electrical connections.

Prysmian BICON Flexo Point Machine Coupler System – Features & Benefits

The nickel plated brass plug and socket arrangement will not deteriorate during service. The moulded plugs are made from vulcanised neoprene which is fully bonded to the cable sheath and provides a waterproof seal with excellent strain relief. A 100% testing regime is rigorously employed. Every lead is electrically tested at the factory for voltage withstand, insulation resistance and correct continuity. For safety purposes the plug & socket can only be coupled one way. Tactile locator pips ensure that the correct orientation can easily be achieved in the worst conditions therefore it is impossible to terminate incorrectly.
