DCS Panduit T6A UTP Sheilded Field Term Plug Panduit 1 400

Panduit Corp. has launched the TX6A™ Shielded Field Term Plug to join the existing TX6A™ UTP Field Term Plug. The plugs meet the growing market need for a cost effective RJ45 plug which is easy to terminate in the field for wireless access points, security cameras, and other field deployed PoE devices. The TX6A™ Field Term plugs provide a direct connect method which provides cost savings, faster installation, and increased reliability in both unshielded and shielded applications.

The plugs support Category 6A, 6, and 5e performance levels in one product. Much easier to terminate in the field than typical modular plugs or competing field terminable plugs, the virtue of having only two parts to handle with the Panduit field term plugs provides a more compact size to meet the varied needs of PoE devices. The TX6A™ Field Term Plugs are also rated for plenum environments. Because many of the attached devices are network powered by PoE, the TX6A™ Field Term Plugs are designed to operate in the elevated temperatures of plenum and air handling

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL

DCS Put to the Ultimate Test Part 1 Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL 1 400x275

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.

For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
