NEW PRODUCTS
TIME SWITCHES
Legrand
The Legrand Digital and Astronomical
family of programmable time switches
are installed with the same software and
data key, which makes the programming
process quick and easy.
For extra-added security, these time
switches come equipped with a security
PIN code, as well as a memory for
backup switching programs.
Alternatively, Legrand’s Analogue
Time Switches
(pictured) operate to
the highest precision,
with a clock precision
of ±0.2 sec per day.
They even hold their
time-precision integrity
during daylight savings
by automatically
adjusting to suit the
time change.
MODULARMICROGRID
ABB
ABB has announced a modular and
scalable ‘plug and play’ microgrid
solution to address the globally growing
demand for flexible technology in the
developing market for distributed
power generation.
The cost-efficient, containerised
solution is relevant for mature and
emerging countries and will help
maximise the use of renewable energy
sources while reducing dependence on
fossil fuels used by generator sets.
CURRENT-LIMITINGCIRCUITBREAKER
Rockwell Automation
Industrial automation customers can
improve their short-circuit protection
with a new line of current-limiting,
moulded-case circuit breakers from
Rockwell Automation. The line expands
the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 140G
moulded-case circuit breakers and
offers more comprehensive, fast-acting
short-circuit protection.
The line expansion protects against
overload, short-circuit and ground-fault
conditions. The new line reacts to circuit
overloads two to three times faster than
standard circuit breakers.
RJ-45 PLUG
Optical Cable Corporation
To ensure that Category 8 adopters
will effectively reach data speeds of
up to 40Gbps, OCC is introducing a
new RJ-45 plug with integral circuit
board technology that provides
advanced control of crosstalk, return
loss and other impediments, ensuring
consistent performance at higher
frequencies up to 2,000MHz.
The new plug is ideal for direct-
attach, high-speed links and data
centre server connections.
The plug provides consistent
and reliable terminations that are
guaranteed to meet or exceed the
recently approved Cat 8 standard
when paired with compliant Cat 8
cable. The new RJ-45 plug model is
fully backward compatible with existing RJ-45 infrastructure used by a majority
of Ethernet connection ports, including Cat 6A, 6 and 5e cabling.
SEARCHLIGHT
Milwaukee Tools
Milwaukee Tools has introduced the
M18 LED search light. Designed to
provide maximum performance and
versatility in the toughest jobsite
environments, the new light boasts a
beam distance of more than 640m and
1,250lm of light, allowing users to spot
farther and flood brighter.
The new M18 LED search light is the
ideal solution for users who need
to illuminate or spot an area at long
distance or overhead, but also often
need flood lighting for task work. With
four modes to address a variety of
lighting situations, just one of these
search
lights can
do the job
of two
lights at
once.
