Integrated shielding ensures high functional reliability
The new M12 receptacle connectors from Belden's Lumberg Automation™ product range can be used to connect control units to ProfiNet/Profibus networks via bus modules as well as to transmit analog data at field level. Integrated shielding between devices brings a high level of functional reliability. The receptacle connectors are available with assembled control cables or with printed contacts for PCB mounting. In the printed contact versions, the integrated shielding ensures optimum flexibility for shield continuity. In the case of the assembled connectors, and depending on the port assignment of the control units, a diagnostics interface can be implemented outside the switch cabinet using an Ethernet connection. This practically eliminates the disruptions resulting from repair or maintenance work. These receptacle connectors are simple to install thanks to standardized M12 connection technology and color-coded bus connections. Additional features include industrial protection class IP67, high shock and vibration resistance, and a wide temperature range of -30° to +80° C. They enable highly-available data communication solutions in areas such as mechanical and plant engineering, material handling or public transport.

Tailor-made WLAN access points and clients
Belden’s new OpenBAT range from Hirschmann™ is the first modular system to enable industry-standard WLAN access points and clients to be configured via the internet. This range, comprising the BAT-R (IP20) and BAT-F (IP67) series, supports the IEEE 802.11n transmission standard, which facilitates data speeds of up to 450Mbps in both the 5GHz and the 2.4GHz bands. Both series are based on entirely new hardware and also have a powerful HiLCOS operating system with extensive management, security and quality of service functions plus layer 3 IP routing. The number of wireless modules and Ethernet LAN ports can be configured individually, as can the power delivery concept. This also applies to the over a dozen certificates that qualify these access points and clients for use in, for example, the power supply industry, the gas and oil sector or rail transportation. They can be used to set up fast and stable infrastructure and meshed networks plus wireless distribution systems (WDS) or point-to-point connections. Several thousand different designs can be configured using these OpenBAT devices. The range, expected to be launched in Spring 2012, thus allows tailored solutions with an optimal price-performance ratio.
Belden, the leading supplier of high quality and innovative signal transmission solutions, has added a Railway approved high performance Ethernet Gigabit data cable for mission critical railway and mass transit applications to its comprehensive range of cables and connectors, rugged Ethernet switches, routers and firewalls – all harmonized to work seamlessly together. 
East Aurora, NY, USA, February 14, 2012 - Moog Industrial Group, a division of Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) today announced, it is to showcase its range of Electric Motion Control products and solutions at Drives 2012, in Birmingham, UK from 17 until 19 April 2012. 
Belden’s Industrial Connecting Solutions business is one of the world’s leading providers of connectors for use in automation. The portfolio, marketed under the Hirschmann™ and Lumberg Automation™ brands, ranges from products for cabling actuators and sensors to power connectors and connection solutions for LED illumination. Belden’s Industrial Connecting Solutions business also enjoys a strong market position in the field of distributor systems and I/O modules for fieldbus and Ethernet networks. 
The new Gigabit OCTOPUS from Belden’s Hirschmann™ product range is a managed IP54 switch that was especially developed for road and rail vehicle applications that require fast data connection. To this end the switch has two Gigabit Ethernet uplinks for twisted-pair cables (1000 BASE-TX) connected via vibration-proof M12 ports. Eight Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 BASE-TX) are provided for connecting terminal equipment. These are also designed for M12 connectors and support PoE. They make it possible to power equipment such as IP cameras, Voice-over-IP phones or WLAN Access Points without the need for additional cables. The switch also offers various management and security functions plus fast redundancy protocols. It can thus be used to install high-availability Gigabit backbones in public transport vehicles, for instance giving passengers fast internet access during their journey.
