News & Event

Smart traffic systems are becoming more connected and more distributed—traffic signal controllers, variable message signs (VMS), ANPR/AI cameras, roadside sensors, smart poles, and EV charging infrastructure all rely on stable outdoor power and signal connections.

In real roadside environments, failures often come from the same weak point: the interface between equipment and cable. Rainwater ingress, dust buildup, vibration, UV aging, and frequent maintenance can degrade ordinary connectors quickly—leading to intermittent signals, higher service costs, and unexpected downtime.

WEIPU designs waterproof power and signal connectivity solutions for outdoor traffic and roadside equipment, helping system integrators and operators build reliable infrastructure that stays online in harsh conditions.

What to Look for in Connectors for Smart Traffic and Roadside Equipment

When selecting connectors for smart traffic infrastructure, focus on features that directly improve field reliability:

IP-rated sealing (IP67–IP68)

For outdoor equipment, IP67–IP68 protection (when properly mated) helps prevent water ingress during rain, washdown, or condensation events—especially where cables enter enclosures.

Secure locking for vibration resistance

A reliable locking mechanism is critical for outdoor cabinets and roadside devices exposed to vibration. Stable retention reduces loosening, micro-disconnects, and intermittent faults.

Robust strain relief and cable protection

Cable routing around poles and cabinets often creates pulling forces and bending stress. Strong strain relief and proper sealing at the cable entry protect long-term reliability.

Power + signal integration

Many roadside devices require both power and control/signal wiring. Multi-pin configurations and mixed layouts reduce interface count, simplify installation, and minimize failure points.

Cable assembly and overmolding support

Custom cable assemblies can improve consistency in field installations by controlling length, labeling, shielding, potting, and cable exits—making servicing easier and reducing wiring errors.

WEIPU Outdoor Connectivity Solutions: IP67–IP68 Circular Connectors + Cable Assemblies

To support smart traffic infrastructure, WEIPU provides a range of IP67–IP68 circular connectors and custom cable assemblies/overmolding designed for outdoor industrial use.

Custom cable assemblies and overmolding for field reliability

For large-scale roadside deployments, cable assemblies reduce installation variability and help ensure consistent quality. Common customization includes:

• tailored cable lengths
• shielding options
• potting and sealing reinforcement
• angled designs for tight enclosures
• labeling for faster field service and fewer wiring mistakes

High-current solutions for power distribution needs

Roadside infrastructure increasingly includes higher power loads (e.g., smart poles, EV-related systems, powered cabinets). WEIPU offers high-current connectivity options to meet these demanding requirements.

At Intertraffic, WEIPU will showcase outdoor connectivity solutions for smart traffic infrastructure, including:
