New 5-pole M8 (Pico) quick-disconnect cables from AutomationDirect.com are available with axial or right-angle female connectors and pigtail wiring in 1.5, 5 and 10 meter cable lengths. The quick-disconnect cables have a 3, 4 or 5-socket M8 female connector on one end and 3, 4 or 5 open leads on the other end to provide fast and easy connection between field devices and terminal connections. A “lock in place” nickel plated brass or zinc coupling nut resists high levels of shock and vibration.
IIoT brings together a range of industrial devices that all communicate over a common Ethernet protocol, enabling the sharing of information across multiple industrial systems. Industrial Ethernet connectors need to stand up to harsher mechanical factors (vibration, force and impact), the potential for ingress (dust and liquids), climate and chemicals (temperature, radiation and pollutants) and electromagnetic interference – these factors determine standards-based M.I.C.E. parameters for classifying components in an industrial network.This article looks at the types of connectors available for emerging industrial Ethernet applications.
The global fiber optic connectors industry report is poised to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2025. Major include rising demand for increasing bandwidth, rising demand for data volume and transmission speed in data centers within the telecommunication industry.
Corning® CleanAdvantage™ technology uses a new factory cleaning and sealing process to ensure a pristine end face upon first use for all our EDGE™ and EDGE8® solutions. Thus, saving you as the installer time and money during the initial installation. So go ahead and uncap that CleanAdvantage connector so that you can connect with confidence.
Designed to insert and extract LC connectors in high-density patch panels, the new FCT-200 from Jonard Tools is specifically made for working with LC connectors in tightly packed bulkheads. The FCT-200’s thin nose jaws can be used to insert or remove simplex LC connectors in tightly packed bulkhead spaces. The unique jaws easily grasp LC connectors firmly, without damaging them or the surrounding connectors.
What do you want to know about the future of optical fiber? The Fiber Optics Tech Consortium will answer your questions during their BICSI Panel discussion.
As the Internet of Things continues to expand, connector companies are embracing diversification and establishing new areas of expertise, including antennas, active optical devices, electronic sensors, and packaging services.
While mechanical splice connectors have come a long way and are in ideal field termination method for connectorizing fiber, we rarely hear much anymore about mechanical splicing as a means for joining fibers along a link-even though it eliminates the need for expensive fusion splicing equipment.
TIA will convene public and private sector leaders at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 26, with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai heading up a panel discussion titled “The need for supply chain security in a 5G connected world.” Panelists will review the global security risks of our current network landscape and highlight both government intervention and industry-led programs that are needed to secure the telecommunications network and supply chain.
Network and data center managers have their own favorite brands when it comes to connectivity, cabinets, PDUs and cable management. But every now and then, a brand fails to deliver. That’s exactly what happened at Humana, the 3rd largest health insurance company in the nation. Despite their brand loyalty on fiber connectivity, the jumpers they were using just didn’t cut it when it came to port access in high-density patching areas or needing to change polarity on the fly.
