METZ CONNECT News

With the Ultraflex500 patch cord from METZ CONNECT, you no longer need special patch cords with preferred outgoing directions such as to the right, left, up or down. Due to the extremely short grommets molded onto the connector, bending radii of less than 10mm are possible. In combination with a very flexible and robust cable, you achieve an unprecedented flexibility for your application for use with VoIP devices, cameras, WiFi hotspots and other cramped applications.

More and more subjects in buildings (e.g. lightning, heating, ventilation…) are now networking in the world of building automation. Communication plays a very important role, which in turn requires standards to ensure that it functions safely and smoothly.

Here BACnet has developed worldwide as the standard communication protocol in building automation. BACnet has been standardized since 2003 in ISO standard 16484-5 and was established under the auspices of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers). ASHRAE is a professional association of all heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning engineers in the USA.

The world of office and industrial cabling is growing ever closer. While the Ethernet used to be the standard for data and voice transmission only in office environments in the past, it is now increasingly used for industrial applications. For this, the cULus listing is increasingly required.

METZ CONNECT has been offering fiber optic outdoor cables by the meter since August. Outside cables, like the well-known universal cables, are available as gel-filled loose tube cables with 1x4, 1x12, 1x24 and 4x12 fibers. As with all METZ CONNECT cables, the fiber types OS2, OM3 and OM4 are insensitive to bending.
