Belden Introduces DataTuff Cat 6 Cord Sets for Upgrading and Future-Proofing Ethernet Installations

Belden Inc., (NYSE:BDC), a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, announces a new line of industrial grade Cat 6 cord sets that are factory-tested and warranted to provide reliable data transmission for Gigabit industrial Ethernet implementations. Cat 6 standard cord sets support the higher data transmission rates demanded by today’s industrial networks while ensuring backward compatibility with Belden’s line of Cat 5e cord sets. Made with Belden DataTuff industrial Ethernet cables, Belden’s Cat 6 cord sets provide robust, reliable, industrial-grade connectivity for manufacturing in harsh environments.

According to one industry study, the vast majority (72 percent) of failures in industrial networks are at the physical layer. Belden Cat 6 cord sets feature Belden’s Bonded-Pair technology to provide the most robust electrical performance in industrial-grade cables that are designed to withstand hostile environments. Belden’s factory manufactured, tested and warranted cord sets eliminate field-termination failures that compromise transmission quality.

“Belden’s line of cord sets supports Belden’s dedication to providing complete end-to-end solutions for industrial networking applications,” said Frank Koditek, Belden Americas product line manager for industrial cables. “In today’s manufacturing networks, there is rarely a need to field-terminate Ethernet cable. Our cord sets are tested and warranted to provide fast installation and reliable service.”

Like Belden’s Cat 5e cordsets, the Cat 6 cord sets are made with RJ45 plugs, available in shielded and unshielded versions and suitable for IP20 or IP67 applications. The IP20 cord sets are terminated with RJ45 connectors and are fully compatible with suitable Hirschmann and GarrettCom networking products as well as other industry networking devices.

Belden is also featuring Cat 6 cord sets with ruggedized metal body RJ45 plugs for more robust physical performance than standard RJ45 plugs. The cord sets are available in shielded and unshielded designs for IP20 installations and provides extended temperature range from -40C to +70C with greater plug durability due to the die cast body. The metal body plugs are also sold separately for more dependable field attachable connections than using standard RJ45 plugs.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
