Jonard Tools’ new Advanced Optical Fiber Identifier w/ Power Meter & VFL (OFI-100) is a complete 3-in-1 tool for fiber technicians. The Optical Fiber Identifier is designed to quickly detect the direction of light being transmitted inside fiber optic cables and displays the relative core power without damaging the fiber. This fiber identifier is perfect for working on fiber optic cables in network systems without having to disrupt the network.
Littelfuse, Inc. has launched its Energy Storage Rack (ESR) series of fuses designed specifically to protect battery racks from a range of fault currents to help prevent equipment damage and expensive system failures. The 1500V direct current (DC) high-speed square body fuse is extremely fast-acting to respond quickly, safeguarding the battery module or other devices in energy storage, power conversion, and DC common bus systems as well as hybrid photovoltaic battery energy storage system (PV-BESS) inverters.
AutomationDirect has added new additions to their existing Stego line of thermal management products for even more enclosure heating and cooling solutions. Top-mount filter fans, in axial or high-capacity versions, and compatible vents are now available to provide a low-cost cooling option for enclosures.
Circular Plastic Connectors (CPC) are rugged and reliable connector systems suitable for many applications. CPC connectors are polarized for proper mating of connector halves, with removable contacts and a replaceable coupling ring that makes field repair easy. They are designed with a stabilized, heat-resistant, self-extinguishing thermoplastic material. These circular plastic connectors are trusted with their performance reliability and used anywhere signal and power either enter or exit a system.
SCHURTER announces the IEC C14 Connector series 6080 with mating C13 V-Lock power cords for protection against dust and water ingress.
C&K extends slide switch product family to include new gold plating versions.
Uniform versions of device data form the best foundation for high-quality project planning and faster project results. With EPLAN eSTOCK – the new cloud-based device management system in the EPLAN Platform 2023 – device data including voltages, currents, datasheets and device designations can now be maintained in the EPLAN Cloud. Access to EPLAN eSTOCK functions independent of company location.
The Shielded RJ45 Connector with Crimp Tail for CAT6A Cable (RJ456A-SC) is the latest pass-through connector manufactured by Jonard Tools and it provides a better and stronger connection. These connectors feature a 50uin gold plated contact surface with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and a pass-through design which eliminate the need to measure and cut wires before termination.
LAPP has introduced its ETHERLINE GUARD data monitoring device for data cables. This compact, easy-to-use unit lets users carry out maintenance measures on data cables according to their actual condition and performance — to avoid unexpected failures. Although LAPP ETHERLINE Industrial Ethernet (IE) cables are durable and long-lasting, they are subjected to repeated dynamic movements with high speeds and strong torsion that over time will require maintenance.
The great advantage of the modular operating concept is the connection of several expansion modules via a basic module and the associated saving of costs. Only the basic module includes the bus-specific bus connection and the bus node which communicates with the corresponding bus system. Thus, the basic module is the most complex module of the total package.
Recently, Mencom was very pleased to announce that most of their circular connector product lines are now IP69 rated. The products include cordsets, receptacles and accessories for MIN size I, II and III (Brad Mini-Change Connectors), MDC (M12 with A-code), MEC (M12 with B-code), MAC (1/2”-20 with C-code), Ethernet (M12 with D-code), and Network Bus series.
HEIDENHAIN’s new PlantMonitor is a digital solution to aid the manufacturing shop floor. Now available for companies interested in simultaneously monitoring and analyzing production data at multiple sites utilizing machine tools where at least one is equipped with a HEIDENHAIN TNC control/StateMonitor software combination per site, this new PlantMonitor can aggregate the data onto one screen for review.
