Belden introduces FiberExpress@EASE: a new standard in fiber patch panel solutions for quicker and easier fiber management
Belden, a leading supplier of total solutions for enterprise networks, has added a new fiber patch panel to its successful high quality and cost-effective FiberExpress family, designed for a wide range of installations.
Belden has extended its range of Lumberg Automation™ products to include new Profibus DP connectors. These connectors each have a D-Sub and M12 interface, and are offered with 35°, 90° or 180° cable outlets. All versions support data rates of up to 12 Mbit/s and feature a compact die-cast zinc housing with test socket and activatable terminating resistor. They also boast quick-connection technology that enables Profibus DP devices to be connected with M12 Profibus cord sets simply and securely without the use of tools. The advantage of this, for example, is reduced downtimes of machinery and equipment when faults occur, increasing production efficiency.
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product range to include four IOLAN DS series converters from Perle Systems, which allow terminals equipped with a serial interface to be connected to Ethernet networks. All of the models have software-selectable RS 232/422/485 interfaces as well as an Ethernet port – or two Ethernet ports in the case of the rack variant. In addition, they support various protocols for serial data transmission, including Modbus TCP Gateway, Raw Serial Data over UTP, IPv4 and IPv6. The Perle Device Manager makes configuring the devices easy. The housings are made of metal, and have fanless cooling. What is more, all models meet safety (IEC 60950-1) and EMC standards (EN 61000). As the four converters have a different number of serial interfaces as well as different bandwidths, security functions, protection standards, temperature ranges, and special approvals, it is easy for customers to find the ideal solution for their application – whether it is in a factory, in process and building automation or in the energy sector. 
Belden has introduced two new AS-Interface modules from its Lumberg Automation™ product range, one of which can be coupled to the actuator/sensor network with round cables, the other with flat cables. For this purpose, the modules feature either an integrated T-piece functionality or piercing contacts. Both versions are slave modules with four digital inputs for two- or three-wire sensors and four digital outputs for standard actuators. Two inputs and two outputs are Y-connected. Since both modules support the latest AS-Interface profile in accordance with AS-Interface specification V3.0, up to 1,000 digital inputs/outputs can be connected. Compared to the previous versions, signal density has therefore more than doubled. What is more, the new modules feature a fully encapsulated PUR housing that is highly resistant to cooling lubricants from machine tools, for example. 
DSM has announced its intention to increase prices for its Akulon® PA6 and PA66 compounds. This increase, which will be effective immediately, is to offset continued escalations in the costs of key raw materials.
