High contact density despite compact dimensions
Belden has extended its Lumberg Automation™ product range with the world's first eight-pole M8 actuator/sensor connectors. These connectors, which fulfill all requirements for shock and vibration resistance, are being offered in two variants with molded cables as well as in three field-attachable installation variants. All variants are designed for a temperature range of between -25° and +80°C, and, when screwed together with the appropriate counterparts, meet the requirements of protection type IP67. Owing to the high contact density, up to eight signals can be transmitted with an external power supply, making the new eight-pole M8 actuator/sensor connector especially suitable for connecting optoelectronic sensors or safety switches of the kind used, for example, for monitoring safety doors on machines and systems.

16 PoE/PoE Plus ports per switch
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product series to include a new PoE/PoE Plus module for Workgroup switches in the MACH100 range. This module, which possesses eight Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 BASE-TX), provides each attached terminal with either 15.4 W (PoE) or 30 W (PoE Plus). The power supply 48 V DC (for PoE) or 52 V DC (for PoE Plus) comes from an external power supply unit. For each MACH100 switch two modules can be used with a total of 16 ports. With PoE Plus, each module can use four ports. It is also possible to operate PoE and PoE Plus ports simultaneously up to a total power of 120 W. This means that the new module offers considerable flexibility. PoE Plus can also be used to power relatively high-rated terminal equipment such as IP cameras with pan-tilt-zoom, Voice over IP videophones or multiband WLAN access points.
