“With the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), our world is becoming increasingly interconnected and more dependent on reliable network communication, and this has led to the emergence of very demanding operating standards and power requirements across all sectors,” says Fabian Seymer, product manager at Belden. “Engineers need a reliable solution that delivers more capacity in a smaller footprint, while ensuring maximum performance in the field.”
The 5-pole M8 cable assemblies with B coding are available in male and female formats, offering the greatest application flexibility on the market. These new connectors can be used in conjunction with Lumberg Automation's new LioN-Power system, which incorporates M12 technology and multi-protocol functionality, creating a unique solution that meets the demanding industrial connectivity requirements of the IIoT.
The industry-proven M8 technology offers outstanding handling characteristics and covers certification under industry standards worldwide, such as the Underwriters Laboratories UL 2238 standard for cable assemblies and fixings in the fields of signal distribution and industrial control and EN61076-104 for electronic equipment connectors.
B-coded 5-pole M8 cable sets facilitate reliable transmission of power and signals through a compact interface to small electronic actuators and sensors, making them the ideal solution for miniaturized robotics applications.
