The twisted pair/copper cabling and RJ45 connectors are continuing to gain attractiveness
In many buildings, similar to private residential buildings, it appears that less network cabling based on twisted- pair installation cables and RJ45 connectors is required. The connection for conventional network devices for only a data transmission is either conducted by a wireless network or replaced by fibre optic cabling. On the other hand, there are numerous current and future applications that make copper cabling indispensable through the ability to simultaneously transmit data and power. Last but not least, the Wireless Access Point (WAP) itself needs a connection to the network in order to cover the range of mobile end devices in all areas, provide the full performance and be supplied with power via Power over Ethernet (PoE) at the same time.
The demands on technical systems in buildings or in the industrial area are constantly growing and becoming more and more complex. The increasing degree of automation of safety and
convenience functions is responsible for this.
The requirements for cabling in terms of bandwidth and transmission speed are set ever higher. These can often only be met by fiber optic cabling.
Particular attention should be paid to the high quality of the fiber optic connectors. Mechanical values such as apex offset, radius of curvature and fiber board are important factors on the production side to ensure long-term stability.
Measuring and monitoring relays are indispensable even in today's modern building and building technology. In critical buildings such as hospitals, museums or data centers, network failures can lead to serious and costly damage. The METZ CONNECT three-phase monitoring relay PFD3-E12 is used for the safe monitoring of your building. By monitoring the most important system parameters, you benefit not only from operational safety, but also from the high availability of your switchgear.
METZ CONNECT has expanded the modular system of printed circuit board connectors in the M12 range. Now there are also the D-coded variants according to DIN EN 61076-2-101available.
