Thoughtfully designed to outperform in every area, the CS-105 is the perfect DCC command station for newcomers, or layout builders or renovators looking for a highly-capable command station with the latest and greatest technology available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe New DCC Standard for Model Railroads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS-105 Command Station from TCS is the new DCC standard for model railroads. This system brings a new level of operational convenience to DCC, especially when paired with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/controllers\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eUWT-100 throttle\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. The CS-105 also features a wide range of new features compared to the competition. \"Soft Start\" as well as configurable short circuit detection for the mainline track output decreases the likelihood of burning up fouled decoders as well. Instead of spending time with your head in a manual trying to understand your system, you can consult the intuitive configuration interface of the CS-105 through a TCS throttle such as the UWT-100, allowing you to focus on the important things - operating and enjoying your trains! We are confident that the CS-105 will quickly become your favorite command station to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso included in the package with the CS-105, power supply, and AC cord are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo LCC terminators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable track power connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable programming track connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply Selection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting a power supply voltage, your choice should depend on two factors: 1) Modeling Scale 2) Maximum loco speed. For smaller scales such as Z, N, TT, etc., the 12V supply is recommended. The 12V supply is also acceptable for larger scales such as HO; however, if you like to run your trains at higher speeds the 15V supply increases the maximum voltage available to the motor, allowing your models to reach higher top speeds. This is particularly beneficial to modelers of bullet trains and other high-speed passenger services. Both power supply options are rated to supply the CS-105 with up to 5 Amperes of continuous current all day long!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall Package; Big Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS-105 is not only feature-packed, but also highly capable with plenty of horsepower for your railroad. The CS-105 has a user-configurable short circuit protection algorithm and current limit up to 5 Amperes. Unlike many systems on the market, when we say \"5A continuous\" we mean it! The CS-105 can supply up to 5 Amperes of current to your railroad all day and all night long. The CS-105 can also simultaneously operate up to 260 individual locomotives (consisted or solo) thanks to a highly-intelligent packet handler and \"stack\" management algorithm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAuxiliary Boosters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Amps not enough? We understand. That's why we offer auxiliary boosters such as the B-106! Expand out your current capacity while maintaining your RailCom® network using the LCC-enabled B-106 auxiliary booster. Already have a large layout with boosters you don't want to upgrade yet? No problem! The CS-105 can be integrated into existing ecosystems such as Lenz, NCE, Digitrax, and more using our Booster Adapter (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMultiple Connection Modes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS-105 can be used as a standalone access point for WiFi throttles such as the UWT-50, but can also connect to an auxiliary AP (router) to expand the network and maximum number of throttle connections. In addition to WiFi throttles, wired throttles such as the LT-50 and T-50 wired LCC throttles can be connected through the LCC Can Bus. But that's not all! The \"Aux Cabs\" jack on the CS-105 allows you to connect and use some other manufacturers' throttles (such as NCE, Ramtraxx, SystemOne, and more) with the CS-105. Add-on devices such as the \"LCC-LocoNet Gateway\" from RR-CirKits can also be used to interface Digitrax throttles and a PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThrottle Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 4 LCC WiFi throttles via on-board WiFi Access Point (AP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 10 LCC WiFi throttles through Client (Router) connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 250 LCC Wifi throttles via LCC Hub (available in JMRI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 62 Cab Bus (NCE wired and wireless, Ramtraxx, and SystemOne) throttles and accessories via AUX RJ-11 jack, including ISE ProtoThrottle™ and WifiTrax WFD-30\/31 WiThrottle Protocol Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 31 XpressNet™ (Lenz, Roco, ZTC, etc.) throttles and accessories via AUX RJ-11 jack (starting from software version 2.0)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConsisting Made Simple\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsisting doesn't have to be difficult, intimidating, or complicated!
