Clariant Exolit® flame retardants receive EU recognition
Muttenz, March 11, 2013 - A European Union commissioned study of flame retardants for smartphones, laptops and other electrical and electronics applications has acknowledged the environmental and health benefits of pioneering Exolit® non-halogenated flame retardants from Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals.
Venlo, The Netherlands – March 6, 2013 - Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, has extended its Modular Industrial Patch Panel (MIPP) product range by adding new modules. The MIPP, a termination panel for cables that need to be connected to active equipment such as switches, Industrial Ethernet devices and any other device with an Ethernet link, offers greater system reliability and ease of installation. The MIPP provides the ideal connection between Belden cables and Hirschmann switches and is designed to have the same look and feel as the Hirschmann range of products.
Schalksmühle, Germany – February 21, 2013 - Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, has extended its Lumberg Automation product program in the EMEA region to include three new I/O modules featuring industrial protection class IP67. They provide secure connection between actuators/sensors and control units even under the harshest environmental conditions. Providing additional support for real-time (RT) and isochronous real-time (IRT) communication, the modules offer 16 digital channels configured as inputs, outputs or a combination of both. All versions come with an encapsulated metal housing, vibration-resistant M12 connection technology, and short-circuit proof outputs. Galvanic separation between the I/O channels and the LAN connection ensures reliable data transmission. The behavior of output channels in the event of a fault can be defined via a fail-safe function. What's more, the easy diagnostics concept allows faults to be located swiftly. An integrated dual-port switch (10/100 Mbit/s) allows both line and ring topologies. 
Neckartenzlingen, Germany - February 19, 2013 - Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, presents in the EMEA region with the new PowerMICE, the third generation of the Modular Industrial Communication Equipment family from its Hirschmann product portfolio. This modular switch for DIN rail mounting offers comprehensive network protection for the first time. The switch incorporates security mechanisms that regulate network access and protect against attacks. These include port security, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, ingress / egress ACL, sFlow, Storm Control, automatic Denial-of-Service prevention and port access control via 802.1x including multi-client authentication, Radius VLAN/policy assignment and guest/unauthenticated VLAN. Hardware redundancy methods such as PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) and HSR (High Availability Seamless Redundancy) also ensure uninterrupted data communication. As a result, this IPv6-ready switch allows applications to be implemented where both an extremely high level of network security and network availability are required. It can also be seamlessly integrated into PROFINET and EtherNet/IP environments. The integrated PoE Plus function allows for cost-effective power supply for terminal equipment.
Schalksmühle, Germany - February 12, 2013 - Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, offers a wide range of connectivity solutions within its Lumberg Automation product program for the EMEA region. These include solutions for connecting sensors and actuators to local I/O stations or control systems. Previously the domain of fieldbus systems, this area is seeing an increasing use of Industrial Ethernet or special Ethernet-based standards. "This trend is particularly strong in the area of mechanical engineering," says Andrej Lorkovic, director of product management for Belden's Lumberg Automation brand.
