NVT wins rail approval
Network Video Technologies has been awarded Network Rail type approval for the company’s range of unshielded twisted pair video transmission products, including PVD (Power, Video and Data) technology. Network Rail type approval affords NVT’s range with a PADS (Parts and Drawings System) number, allowing inclusion into the critical infrastructure of any Network Rail site across the UK. Accreditation guarantees that NVT products meet the rigorous standards of railway infrasructure application, and that the manufacturer provides a high level of aftersales and technical support.
Network Rail owns approximately 2,500 stations throughout the UK, including major interchanges such as London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The award of type approval to NVT products now offers installers and specifiers working on railway projects a choice of certified video transmission solutions.
'NVT UTP video is much more installer friendly than fibre-optic or coax cable transmission alternatives, due to the flexible nature of Cat5 cable', stated Stuart Harris, NVT’s National Sales Manager. 'It’s simpler and quicker to install and can help minimise engineering time onsite, with the associated cost saving benefits. All NVT video transmission products provide interference rejection and ground-loop isolation; a critical feature in the high-interference rail environment where 750V DC live power lines can generate surges of up to 10,000 amps in close proximity to the CCTV video transmission network.'
