A Fast Ethernet media converter is designed to ease the migration to optical-fibre communication where electrical Ethernet data transmission reaches the limits of its performance.
Harting Ethernet switch offers high availability
Harting's industrial Ethernet switches range is believed to be the first to offer ring redundancy to achieve high system availability, while simplifying network configuration and ease of operation.
The HanPower T concept has been developed in response to the need to 'future-proof' new power distribution systems in industrial plants.
These systems have essentially the same requirements as data-transmission lines, in that one mechanically robust, well protected pluggable cable line has to supply several installed devices.
HanPower T components allow a 400V power bus to be implemented with 'T' functionality that makes it possible to efficiently connect power to several devices in series.
For currents of up to 16A, the system uses the proven Han Q5/0 inserts integrated into a plastics housing, with one connector for power in, one for power out and one 'T' connection for supply to the device.
For higher current requirements (up to 40 A) and greater mechanical protection, Han Q4/2 inserts are mounted in a zinc die-cast case.
An additional feature of these inserts is the provision of finger protection on the male contacts.
Custom pre-assembled, labelled and 100% tested cables for HanPower T can be built or purchased prior to installation, thus minimising assembly times and guaranteeing an error-free installed power distribution system.
