From Concept to Market: The First Ethernet-APL Field Switch for Process Automation

When it comes to Industry 4.0, the Industrial Internet of Things and digital transformation, the process industry —especially the field within the process plant—has been the blind spot of the industrial landscape. An innovative technology developed in cooperation with twelve companies and four standards organizations is finally putting an end to this: with the Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer, or Ethernet-APL for short.

Quabbin 600V Control Cable from AutomationDirect

AutomationDirect has added Quabbin 600V control cable to our extensive selection of cable offerings. These cables are ideal for use in control panels, conduits, and where superior electrical properties are required. The smaller diameter design for this cable reduces cost and the space required inside panels and conduits. This cable is available in shielded and unshielded versions, ranging from 20AWG to 14AWG, with 2 to 25 conductors.
