The RailTelecommunications portfolio of courses include
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
This fast paced area delivers general communications engineering training as well as advanced specialist techniques. The training teams can deliver introduction level courses such as telecoms appreciation, through to advanced switching/transmission techniques and all types of cable jointing from copper to fibre. In addition,Catalis and CTTS has a large delivery area in the field of CCTV and specialist railway telecommunication systems. The telecommunications trainers can deliver across the areas of installation, testing and maintenance. The joint Technical training teams at Catalis and CTTS would invite clients to view any of their sites, at a time to suit, to see first hand what they can do to enhance client’s business performance.
Advanced Jointing of ExternalTelecoms Cable
Suitable for individuals who have the basic jointing skills and are now required working on external trunk type telecommunications cables, terminology, colour coding, cable jointing techniques, loading coils, jointing schedules,safety aspects, testing principals and symbols. Also ideal for copper cable testing engineers who are required to locate faults on telecommunications cables. Sections covered:
cable type and characteristics, IR testing and the IR standard, three loop method for calculating the single wire resistance, location of earth, contact and disconnectionfaults using bridge meggers, location of contact and disconnection faults using pulse echo testers.

Advanced Signalling Cable Jointing
Suitable for those who need jointing skills in “a spec” or URM 70 co-ax cable and SSI data link cable. Sections covered: basic cable construction and use, jointing methods, selection of crimping tools, cable preparation prior to jointing, application of closures,where applicable.
Basic Signalling Cable Jointing &Testing
Ideal for signal engineers who wish to develop skills in terminating, jointing and testing of signalling cable types, B2,C2, jelly filled and power cable. Sections covered: basic cable construction and use, cable preparation prior tojointing, jointing methods, insulation resistance tests,continuity tests.
Concept 32
Designed and aimed at engineers who require knowledge of the installation, faulting and maintenance of the intertec concept 32 concentrator. Sections covered: description of the hardware, description of the facilities, safety precautions, customer/user instructions, faulting of the concentrator, installation of the concentrator and maintenance of the concentrator.
Copper Cable Fault Finding

At the end of the course the delegate will be able to identify the type of fault using a multi-meter and insulation tester,measure insulation resistance and compare the results to the insulation resistance standard, locate earth, contact and disconnection faults using a variety of bridge meters and locate contact and disconnection faults using a pulse echo tester (PET). Sections covered: cable types and characteristics, IR testing and the IR standard, three loop method for calculating the single wire resistance, location of earth, contact and disconnection faults using bridge meggers and location of contact and disconnection faults using pulse echo testers.
Fibre Optic Jointing
Aimed towards those who have basic jointing skills and are required to work on fibre optic telecommunication cables. Sections covered: Basic principles of fibre optics, types of cable used, fibre splicing using a variety of fusion splicing machines, types of fibre optic joints, types of fibre optic splice/organiser trays and introduction to fibre optic testing.
Introduction to Jointing of External Telecomms cable
Designed and aimed at people who have little or no experience of working on external telecommunications cables. Sections covered: terminology, colour coding, cable jointing methods,crimping techniques, testing principles, raychem closure.
OperationalTelephones for Signalling Staff
Signal engineers who are involved in first line faulting and maintenance of operational telephones would find the content of this course beneficial. Sections covered: development of operational telephones, description and purpose of lineside operational telephones, routine
maintenance and records and identification of fault symptoms and unacceptable performance variations.
