Handling fibre and the new 10 Gb/s augmented category 6 cabling in data centres is becoming significantly more difficult to deal with. With greater core diameters, which in turn cause larger bend radii, the enclosure is no longer a secondary consideration. Both the Rittal TS 8 and TE7000 range of enclosures provide advanced cable management such as gland plate modules with brush strip for cable entry, grooved cable routing panels and also fibre-optic shunting rings where strain relief and bend radii are guaranteed.

SCHURTER expands its family of Power Entry Modules with a new and compact filtered appliance inlet according IEC, style C8

The Ha-VIS FTS 3100s-A is the first switch in the HARTING family of industrial Ethernet switches to offer the company's innovative Fast Track Switching technology: a solution that satisfies the majority of performance and determinism requirements in Ethernet networks for automation applications.

The latest range of air logic devices, developed and manufactured by Parker Hannifin, now offers engineers an extremely efficient and cost effective modular system that can improve productivity, reliability and profitability of pneumatic circuits in a wide range of applications. In particular, the latest air logic devices can be used as an alternative to conventional PLCs, for managing smaller or less complex pneumatic circuits, and in areas where there is no electrical supply or where compliance is required with ATEX directives.

The latest QuantumX module from HBM, the MX878 output module, measures all commonly used physical quantities and makes them available as standardized analog voltage outputs.

TURCK introduces M12 true torque connectors, which may be hand-tightened to a predefined torque, preventing overtightening. Determining whether or not a connector is properly secured is easy with the true torque connector: Once the proper torque has been achieved, the nut rotates freely—indicated by a clear haptic and audible signal.

The latest icotek KEL cable entry systems available from M Buttkereit Ltd are designed to secure and positively seal flat cabling when passing through bulkhead apertures associated with machine building or control panel assemblies.

The AMP NETCONNECT business unit of Tyco Electronics announces the general availability of its reduced diameter MRJ21 Ultra Slim Gigabit Ethernet cabling system.

RS Components today announced a major program to support medical design. It has not only added more than 500 new products to its already substantial portfolio, but also unveiled a dedicated area on its website and embarked on a focussed promotional campaign.

The massive KMT Lidköping VTG4000 grind-turn machine enables high precision wind turbine bearing production on a very large scale, with Renishaw encoders critical to accurate and rapid operation.
