Convergence of power and signals at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2011

Andreas Vogt, Director Product Development Integrated Products, Molex, say: "Molex is consistently developing products that deliver faster speeds in higher density, with smaller form factors and a lower, overall applied cost to the customer. We are seeing a trend towards industrial Ethernet, in the form of Ethernet/IP, Ethernet TCP and Profinet, being implemented down to the device level. With these trends, new hybrid, ruggedised industrial connectors bring combinations of power and signals into a small IP-rated package."

Key product highlights are the new Brad Micro-Change M12 CAT6A and CHT (Circular Hybrid Technology) connectors, as well as the Brad HarshIO Ethernet/IP Quick connect module. There is a live demonstration of Molex capabilities and product highlights in action in an industrial environment.

Experts from Molex are on hand throughout the exhibition to provide visitors with advice and guidance on selecting industrial automation products and interconnect products for their own specific applications, with the emphasis on combining efficiency with versatility, durability and value for money.
