Overhead contact systems (OCS) and hardware deliver limitless solutions for rail transit applications

AFL leads the rail transit industry with our Dossert® family of products. In 2008, AFL acquired Dossert, the premium manufacturer of cast and fabricated connectors for electric utility and rail applications. With over 80 years of continuous research, development and field experience, the Dossert line added depth, breadth and product know-how of power distribution hardware along with quality fittings and hardware specifically targeted to the rail industry.

AFL’s complete system solution is available in low voltage DC or high voltage AC for electrified transit systems including:

• High-speed rail
• Light rail
• Trolley
• 3rd rail
• Mining
• Fiber optics for communications and signaling

AFL also offers universal hardware and fittings for replacement in any rail system. From a variety of insulators, adjustable fittings, contact wire splicers, dead ends, and much more, all AFL rail products are proof tested to exceed industry requirements.

AFL's rail transit products are 100 percent American made. This is a key factor for municipalities that must fulfill the requirements of the Buy America Act, which applies to mass-transit-related procurements. The Act established requirements to give preference to the use of domestically-produced materials on any procurements funded in part by federal funds.

Complementing AFL’s exceptional product line for rail transit is a talented team of experts with an extensive industry knowledgebase. AFL’s engineering team has over 50 years of collective experience focused on rail systems by providing fast-track, time-to-market solutions for new product development and legacy product improvement.
