‘Fibre Optic Cable’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from
Wilcoxon Research, which we summarised at the time by saying "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Aaxeon releases PoE industrial media converters from
Aaxeon Technologies: "Aaxeon Technologies has announced the release of the latest models in its Optolinx line of industrial media converters. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Kabelschlepp Metool
- take a look at Kabelschlepp cable carriers reduce ESD risk
which says: "Due to their low surface resistance, the ESD cable carriers from Kabelschlepp significantly reduce the risk of ESD. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Sick Stegmann, SICK introduces single- and multi-turn encoders,
as well as Igus optical-fibre cable suits all bus systems from Igus UK,
and NSK bearings save costs for carbon-fibre producer from NSK UK.
