Moxa: Go Small with Big Gains

Moxa: Go Small with Big Gains

Moxa has recently unveiled the EDS-2000-EL, with extra small switches to free up valuable space inside your machines and cabinets, allowing you to accomodate more devices for growing network demands. The EDS-2000-EL switches allow you to enhance data flow efficiency simply by flipping the DIP switches to enable QoS and BSP, which reduces the chances of data loss and increased operating costs for your applications.

Cat5e Industrial Ethernet Cable from AutomationDirect

Cat5e Industrial Ethernet Cable from AutomationDirect

Quabbin DataMax Extreme Industrial Ethernet cable jackets were developed to survive the many industrial hazards that commercial jackets will not. Quabbin Cat5e Industrial Ethernet cable has a UL PLTC rating allowing it to be installed in a cable tray without the need for conduit. With its 22 AWG conductors it works well in power over Ethernet (POE) applications.

 

 

 

Durability And Ruggedness Of Expanded Beam Optics Using Springless Mating And Crimpless Cable Retention

Durability And Ruggedness Of Expanded Beam Optics Using Springless Mating And Crimpless Cable Retention

TE Connectivity (TE) is releasing its EB16 expanded beam optical pin and socket termini in new single mode and multimode variations. Both variations are based on an updated design that includes springless mating and crimpless cable retention. EB16 termini are built on TE’s PRO BEAM expanded beam connector technology, which expands and collimates the optical signal into a beam size well beyond its original size to help provide easier optical alignment, low sensitivity to contamination and consistent performance over thermal changes.
