GiHCS® Industrial Cabling Solution with New SC Crimp and Cleave Connectors and Termination Kits
SPS IPC Drives 2013, Acal BFI booth # 10-401, Nuremberg, Germany – OFS, a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative fiber optic network products, announces the launch of its new SC Crimp and Cleave connectivity solution for Industrial Networks. The rapid adoption of Industrial Ethernet has led to significant changes and new demands in factory automation and industrial networking applications requiring the introduction of industrialized communications systems.
Fast (100 Mb/sec) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mb/sec) data rates demand higher bandwidth and real-time, low-latency communications. The increasing use of intelligent electronic devices, utility-grade rugged IP routers, and Ethernet switches is driving IP-based communications on the production floor.Â
A high bandwidth, rugged, and reliable cabling solution is indispensable for industrial networking as adoption of increased data rates emerges.  To meet this need, OFS offers Graded Index HCS® (GiHCS) Optical fiber in a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cable construction and easy-to-use crimp and cleave SC connectors. Using OFS’ SC Crimp and Cleave simple hand tools, technicians can easily learn to install fiber connectors in industrial spaces. Taking just minutes to learn, field technicians can rapidly repair damaged optical fiber cables without messy adhesives or tedious polishing procedures.
Advantages of GiHCS Industrial Cabling Solution with new SC Crimp and Cleave connectors include:
Wide operating temperature range:Â -20 to +105C
Resistance to abrasion, vibration and industrial chemicals
Indoor and Outdoor use
