Belden Single Pair Ethernet Portfolio of Connectivity Products Enables the IIoT
St. Louis, Missouri –
January 13, 2023 – Belden, a
leading global supplier of network and digitization solutions, today introduced
its Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) portfolio
of connectivity products, designed to optimize Ethernet connection
possibilities in harsh environments, including industrial and transportation
operations. The SPE portfolio includes IP20-rated PCB
jack, patch cords and cordsets for clean-area connections and IP65/IP67-rated
circular M8/M12 patch cords, cordsets and receptacles for reliable field device
industrial ethernet connections.
For industrial
applications, the products create the foundation for real-time communications
between all devices on the network, the enterprise backbone and the cloud to
improve process efficiency and reduce operational costs. As Industry 4.0
evolves and the number of sensors and actuators in automated production cells
that connect to the factory backbone grows, the new SPE product portfolio is
the simple, affordable solution to further enable predictive maintenance,
digital twins and more.
For transportation applications, the Belden SPE products
offer a 30% improvement on bending ratio and 30% smaller outer diameter,
alleviating issues caused by tight spaces between vehicle bodies. In addition,
the products simplify cabling to improve customer experience with a greater
range of connectivity and reduce the weight added by existing connectivity
products by nearly half.
The Belden SPE portfolio of connectivity
products provides:
·
Future-proof innovation: Ethernet-based, the simplified network
topology enables seamless connectivity from sensors to the cloud;
gateways become optional.
·
High-performance
bandwidth support: up to 10Gbits/s.
·
Rugged
protection from harsh conditions: IP65/67
design protects against mechanical shock, vibration, dust, chemicals and temperature
extremes; suitable for M3I3C3E3 environments.
·
A compact,
lightweight design: increased flexibility and bending ratios make
the cordsets easy to commission and overcome tight space constraints.
·
Built for sustainability: manufactured with 55% less metal and plastic than popular Ethernet cordsets, resulting
in improved carbon footprint and ESG Rating without sacrificing performance; IEC 63171-6, Lead-free RoHS compliant.
"The communication
network plays an increasingly important role in both Industry 4.0 and modern
transportation applications. In both areas, it's critical for real-time data
from connected field devices to be monitored, seamlessly shared and analyzed simultaneously
to ensure the optimal performance of the operation," said Chen Zhang, product
manager at Belden. "Our SPE product portfolio ensures reliable
connectivity and gives customers a future-forward solution for mission-critical
industrial applications and radical new transportation applications."
Belden's new SPE
portfolio is a one-stop shop of connectivity products that are compact and durable,
provide much greater coverage, and are the ideal network connectivity choice
for machine building, automotive manufacturing, food and beverage
manufacturing, intralogistics, mass transit systems, traffic control/systems, railway,
train stations, and rail-rolling stock.
