Compact design and minimum cabling
Belden has added six new Fast Ethernet switches to the OCTOPUS range from its Hirschmann™ product series. Thanks to an integrated power supply unit these switches take up less space than designs with an external power supply and also require less cabling, which reduces possible error sources and thus increases the operational reliability of the connected terminal equipment. Three of the switches are unmanaged 10-port devices. The others have nine ports and feature layer 2 basic software from Hirschmann™, incorporating a variety of management and security functions and fast redundancy methods. Both the 9-port and the 10-port switches are available with or without PoE functionality and either a 24V or 110V power supply unit. The PoE versions are fanless with additional cooling fins, which provide effective temperature management resulting in longer lifecycles. All six switches have robust, compact die-cast zinc housings and are designed to operate at temperatures in the range -40°C to +70°C. They also fulfill the EMC and fireproofing requirements of the European standards that govern use in rail vehicles.

STANLEY, N.C. 15 mars 2012 - Dans un communiqué daté de ce jour, DSM Dyneema annonce que son composite unidirectionnel (UD) Dyneema® HB80 - actuellement l’un des meilleurs matériaux UD balistiques du marché - a joué un rôle central dans le développement du nouveau casque de combat amélioré (« Enhanced Combat Helmet » ou ECH) destiné au corps des Marines et à l’Armée de terre des États-Unis. Pour mener à bien ce développement, la société Ceradyne a opté pour le Dyneema® HB80 comme le matériau apportant le plus haut niveau de protection balistique à l’ECH. Par rapport au casque de combat avancé (« Advanced Combat Helmet » ou ACH) en fibres aramides utilisé jusqu’ici, l’ECH en Dyneema® HB80 surpasse le cahier des charges ECH en termes de comportement à la fragmentation, sans augmentation de poids du casque. Le HB80 est aussi le seul matériau à avoir satisfait à toutes les exigences des tests ECH.
