Tyco Offers Sigma-Link Copper-Cabling Solutions

Sigma-Link from Tyco Electronics's Amp Netconnect business unit is a range of pre-terminated high-speed copper-cabling solutions designed for ease of installation in office networks and data centres. The Amp Netconnect Sigma-Link system offers all performance and link classes including Category 6/Class E, Category 6A/Class EA and Category 7A/Class FA to support current applications at speeds of up to 10Gbit/s over copper cable.

The Class FA version has been developed to support future applications at up to 40Gbit/s. The system is fully standards compliant and is suitable for equipment cabling in data centres. Performance of the Sigma-Link system is ensured by factory testing of all cable assemblies. Traceability of the far end is achieved by an integrated plastic optical fibre, which facilitates identification after installation. The system is fully compliant to TIA/EIA 942 and EN 50173-5, which are specific data-centre standards.

The Sigma-Link system, which forms part of the Amp Hi-D (high-density) cabling platform, is based on a modular approach featuring reusable cassettes and cables. The 10Gbit/s performance over copper is achieved without any requirement for ANEXT testing or EMC considerations. In use, the system provides rapid installation of six connectors with just one click. Cables are pre-terminated at the factory to the correct length with a 'one-click' snap-in cassette and the user simply has to place or pull the cables into the pathways, plug the cassettes into the patch panels and mount the finished patch panel. The Amp Netconnect Sigma-Link system is suitable for partial-section cabling in data centres in areas such as server-to-switch cabling.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
