Industrial LAN

Industrial LAN - the practice-oriented cabling solution

Due to the wide use of computers, industry plants are now part of large networks. Fiber optic development has begun in these areas thanks to the extension of existing systems or to complete new orientations. The use of new bus systems with higher bandwidth supports the development of higher transmission rates and longer distances.

The application of fiber optic systems offers the following advantages:

• insensitive to electromagnetic influences
• potential difference
• no additional installation expenditures

Future investments:

• optical cabling fulfils the requirements of next generation bus systems
• corresponds to EN 50173
  

HUBER+SUHNER provides components designed for the use under harsh environmental conditions which are broken down into the three requirement levels

• standard: temperature range –10°C to +50°C, IP50
• moderate: temperature range –25°C to +65°C, up to IP65,
• for increased environmental conditions
• heavy: temperature range –25°C to +85°C, up to IP67,
• for harsh environmental conditions

The range of potential applications includes premises and machine cabling as well as fix installed and mobile cable lines.
