Empowering the Railways of Tomorrow: CINCON’s DC-DC Converters for a Smarter, Safer Journey
As railway systems in Egypt and across the MENA region undergo rapid digital transformation, engineers face increasing pressure to deliver more efficient, compact, and reliable power solutions. A key enabler of this modernization is Power over Ethernet (PoE)—a technology that simplifies infrastructure by transmitting power and data over a single cable.
In densely packed environments like railcars, where every inch of space matters and failure is not an option, PoE reduces installation complexity and cost. But with advanced onboard systems drawing more power than ever, railway engineers need dependable, high-efficiency power supplies that can support PoE without adding load or compromising safety.
This is where CINCON’s advanced DC-DC converter modules, now available through FORTEC Egypt, provide a high-impact solution engineered to meet regional and international railway requirements.
CINCON CQB50W12-72SXX-CMFC(D): Power and Safety on the Move
The CQB50W12-72SXX-CMFC(D) module is not just a power converter—it’s a rugged, intelligent solution tailored to meet the challenging needs of rolling stock environments.
Power Delivery: With a 30–50 Watt output and up to 89% efficiency, it ensures consistent performance for high-demand applications.
Thermal and Electrical Protection: Equipped with Over-Temperature (OTP), Over-Current (OCP), Over-Voltage (OVP), and Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) safeguards.
Design Compatibility: Compatible with all common onboard voltages, this model allows engineers to select a single PSU across train subsystems, reducing design complexity.
Robust Isolation: 3000VDC I/O isolation protects systems from surges and faults.
Compliance Excellence: Certified for EN50155 and EN45545-2, guaranteeing performance and safety under demanding railway conditions.
By incorporating the CQB50W12 into your system, you eliminate the need for additional PoE capacity—vital for trains where PoE loads are already approaching their limits.
CINCON EC7BW18-ECRT/EDRT: Compact Form, Comprehensive Protection
For applications requiring a smaller footprint without sacrificing performance, the EC7BW18-ECRT/EDRT is an ideal fit.
Compact and Efficient: This 20W enclosed DC-DC module offers up to 88% efficiency in a slim chassis-mount design.
Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -40°C to +100°C, accommodating the temperature fluctuations often experienced in the region’s railway systems.
Plug-and-Play Design: Features such as a low inrush current and integrated output LED indicator ensure ease of installation and maintenance.
Reinforced Insulation: Built-in electrical safety for peace of mind.
Full Standards Compliance: Meets EN55032, EN55035, EN50121-3-2, and EN50155 Class S3/Class C2 Criteria A, all without requiring external capacitors.
This converter helps engineers meet stringent railway specifications while optimizing for space and installation ease—critical for the compact design requirements of Egyptian and MENA rail systems.
