Belden introduces comprehensive solutions for data transmission and power in industrial networks

Modern industrial enterprises require not only reliable but also comprehensive solutions for data transmission and power. Understanding these needs, Belden has announced the launch of a full range of new products from its key brands, including Belden, Lumberg Automation, Hirschmann, and CloudRail. These solutions are designed to ensure secure connections in harsh conditions and simplify data flows from the edge to the cloud.

Solutions for data acquisition and transmission

The foundation of any industrial network is its physical infrastructure. Belden is introducing two key updates for this segment:

• Belden FiberExpress XHD Patch Panels: Designed to support the growing density of fiber optic lines. These panels in 1U, 2U, and 4U form factors simplify the migration to 40G, 100G, 200G, and 400G networks, which is critical for CTOs planning future infrastructure expansion.
• Belden EN-IEC LSZH RS485 AWG18 Cables: These cables support longer RS-485 network segments with reduced voltage drop and higher current for powering devices. They comply with standards such as BACnet MS/TP, ensuring reliable data transmission and power.

Reliable power connections from Lumberg Automation

The new generation of the M12 Power Solution from Lumberg Automation has been redesigned to provide stable and secure connections in the harshest environments. The enhanced shielding technology makes them ideal for applications with high power and reliability requirements.

These solutions deliver reliable power connections where durability, flexibility, and high currents are vital.

Data orchestration and management

For CTOs, managing network infrastructure is a key priority. Hirschmann and CloudRail offer several important updates:

Hirschmann Products

• HiSecOS v05 Software for EAGLE40-03: A new OS version for industrial firewalls that enhances network security.
• RPSS Power Supplies: Cost-effective and easy-to-install power supplies up to 480W, designed for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing and machine building.
• New SPIDER III Variants: The switch lineup has been expanded with 5- and 8-port models featuring built-in QoS functionality, guaranteeing reliable data transmission according to Conformance Class A.

CloudRail Software
