New waterproof Ethernet industrial connector
To meet the demands of data networks on the factory floor Bulgin have designed a tough new Ethernet connector system, dust and waterproof to IP68, for networks running at up to 100MHz
Waterproof in-line Ethernet cable joiner
To complement the Bulgin Buccaneer range of waterproof Ethernet connectors is a new in-line cable joiner providing a robust, economic, sealed connector for in-line network connections
Originally designed for high speed data transfer in consumer multimedia equipment, FireWire has now transferred from the home into industrial environments where hazards of water and dust are present.
The new FireWire Buccaneer family of connectors meets this challenge.
Available in two forms, the standard 6 pole and the miniature 4 pole which is often used on cameras and small peripheral devices.
Both the 4 and 6 pole interfaces are available for cable and panel mounting.
The screw coupling thread ensures a vibration and shock resistant connection and sealing caps maintain the IP68 rating of the connectors whilst not in use.
The cable connectors are 'over-moulded' directly on the cable, and are available in 2m or 4m lengths as standard and terminated with Buccaneer FireWire at one end and a standard FireWire connector at the other.
Other configurations are available for volume users.
The panel mounted connectors are terminated with adaptor leads for connection onto PCBs.
Fully RoHS compliant, FireWire Buccaneer complements the other Bulgin waterproof data connectors for Ethernet, USB, and SMB. Request a free brochure from Bulgin Components ...
