Belden Australia industrial ethernet solutions have assisted in keeping different rugged and mission-critical operations up and running by the introduction of their new line of rugged industrial ethernet cordsets and patch cords.
Industrial manufacturers have faced challenges when implementing communication networks that bridge computer-based control systems with associated production lines. Today there are numerous bus systems that have provided the technical solution to this problem but none offer the value advantages that ethernet does.
The new cordsets and patch cords from Belden are chemical and temperature resistant and incorporate rugged RJ45 connection technology with the proven industrial over moulded Micro (M12) connection technology, which is IP67 rated and typically found in sensor/actuator machine applications. This ensures reliable performance in extreme and mission-critical environments. These cordsets and patch cords are also manufactured using Belden's patented Bonded-Pair technology to ensure reliable performance and maximum electrical integrity.
The standard combinations of Hirschmann cordset and patch cords comprise:
- RJ45 to RJ45 Patch Cords
- M12 (male) to RJ45
- M12 (male) to M12 (male)
- RJ45 to M12 (female) panel mount receptacle
New cable options for cordsets and patch cords include:
- Ultra-rugged Teal TPE jacket, CAT 5e, 2- and 4-pairs with 24 AWG stranded conductors, unshielded bonded-pairs
- Ultra-rugged Teal TPE jacket, CAT 5e High Flex, 2- and 4-pairs with 24 AWG stranded conductors, unshielded bonded-pairs
- PVC jacket, CAT 5e, 2- and 4-pairs with 24 AWG stranded conductors, unshielded bonded-pairs
