BERGEN OP ZOOM, Pays-Bas – 15 décembre 2011 – Les casques de sécurité n'étant efficaces que lorsque les employés les utilisent, 3M™ a conçu une nouvelle gamme ergonomique de coiffes légères et rigides exceptionnellement confortables, fabriquées avec des résines légères de qualité optique OQ Xenoy* et Lexan* de la division commerciale Innovative Plastics de SABIC. La nouvelle gamme de systèmes à ventilation assistée 3M Versaflo™ série M utilisent de la résine à base de polycarbonate / polytéréphtalate de butylène (PC / PBT) colorée pour demi-masques et masques complets, ce qui permet une conception de parois fines qui contribue à réduire le poids du casque d'environ 15 à 20 % par rapport aux précédents produits de la série L de l'entreprise.

Flexible switches via PoE
Belden has added three new unmanaged low-cost switches from the SPIDER series to its Hirschmann™ product range. These switches support Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and have either five twisted-pair ports (SPIDER 5TX PD EEC) or one twisted-pair port and one fiberoptic port for multimode (SPIDER 1TX/1FX-MM PD EEC) or singlemode optical fiber (SPIDER 1TX/1FX-SM PD EEC). Other features include industrial protection class IP30, a strong metal housing and an extended temperature range from -40° to +70°C. Since all versions are powered via PoE there is no need for a separate power supply or even a socket. These switches can therefore be used wherever a PoE port is available, thus allowing flexible network expansion, with additional ports for data transmission via copper cable or – for large distances or where there are strong electromagnetic fields – fiberoptic uplinks.
