Engineered for real-world testing

Automotive Crash Test

The C540J is built to survive the punishing conditions of modern crash labs, from rail vehicles to complex aerospace applications. It is 170G shock-rated, ensuring it can reliably withstand repeated high-velocity impacts without affecting performance.

  • Impact-ready: 170G rating for rugged performance.
  • Onboard reliability: Optional internal battery for untethered capture.
  • Field-proven: Ruggedised housing for industrial durability.

System flexibility and scalability

JB3 Junction Box

The C540J offers a scalable architecture that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows. When paired with the JB3 Junction Box, the system supports up to eight cameras per unit, broadening coverage with fewer boxes and less cable clutter.

  • Seamless integration: Backward compatible with JB2 installations.
  • Cost effectiveness: Optimised cabling reduces total cost of ownership.
  • Global compatibility: Supports EU LEMO standards for European facilities.
