Industrial ethernet cordsets/patch cords
When Hirschmann Industrial Ethernet cordsets and are used in conjunction with Belden's line of Hirschmann Industrial Ethernet switches and Belden’s Industrial Ethernet cable, a complete (end-to-end) industrial solution is realized. These cordsets and patch cords are manufactured using Belden's patented Bonded-Pair technology, meaning the cables have the individual insulated conductors bonded together along their longitudinal axis to assure uniform conductor-to-conductor spacing for maximum electrical integrity. These cables are also chemical- and temperature-resistant and incorporate rugged RJ45 or over molded M12 (IP67 rated) industrial connectors to ensure reliable performance in extreme or mission-critical environments.
