Belden’s Synergy EnsuresContinuous Performance

With the Hirschmann™ and LumbergAutomation™ product additions to theBelden offering, the Belden CompleteIndustrial Solutions line is uniquelypositioned to provide the best end-to-endnetwork and communications infrastructures.Analysts report that a large percentage ofunplanned downtime in industrial operationsis caused by network infrastructure failure.According to one report, 72% of networkfaults can be attributed to failure at the OSI(Open System Interconnection) Layer 1 —Physical Media, Layer 2 — Data Link and/orLayer 3 — Network. And this can mean loss ofcritical data, system downtime or even acatastrophic failure costing hundreds ofthousands or millions of dollars.

Belden products and systems expertise meansthat you can maintain ongoing operationswithout interruption and costly downtime —in any environment or application.

Here are a few more good reasons why Beldenis your best choice for industrial networking,communications and control:

• Belden has the expertise to integrate yourindustrial and commercial networks.

• Belden products are engineered to performin tough and difficult environments.

• Belden offers the broadest selection ofproducts for a complete end-to-end solution,so we have what you need.

• Belden sales and engineering professionalscan audit, recommend/design, configure andassemble the products and systems to yourspecific requirements.

• Belden’s global manufacturing anddistribution network make our productsavailable to you globally.

Belden Products Have a ProvenReliability Factor of 99.999%

At one time or another, switches and cablingsystems in industrial installationsmay have towithstand the destructive effects of extremetemperatures, humidity ormoisture, dust, mud,oil and solvents, corrosive chemicals, abrasion,vibration and ultraviolet radiation from strongsunlight. These stressors canwreak havoc on themission-critical networks taskedwith conveyingsignals betweenmeasuring instruments andcontrol devices.

To meet these needs, Belden switches,connectivity and cabling products are designedand tested to ensure reliability in especially harshor mission-critical environments. Strict statisticalprocess control manufacturing methodologiesalso assure compliance with ICEA (Insulated CableEngineers Association), IEEE and UnderwritersLaboratories requirements.

Offering Comprehensive Service & Support

Belden recognizes that comprehensive know-howis necessary to ensure an optimized, homogenoussolution. We also know that a consultation or aservice requires more than just an overview ofthe technological and manufacturer limitations.It requires a sound knowledge of the specificapplication and the ability to provide the typeof support that is needed — when and whereit is needed. It requires the four key service andsupport areas that are critical to success:

• Network Design

• Training

• Technical Support

• System Performance

Belden Industrial Ethernet Cables

TrayOptic®/FiberExpress ® Fiber Cablesand DataTuff® Industrial Ethernet CablesMean Reliable Ethernet Transmissions

The reliability of your Industrial Ethernetnetwork is in large part dependent on the cableinfrastructure since transmission errors canlead to downtime — and even safety issues.

Don’t confuse commercial cables withindustrial cables; commercial products are notdesigned to withstand industrial environments.Belden understands the critical nature of yourapplication and has designed its IndustrialEthernet cables to provide top performance,despite the harsh, demanding nature of theenvironment. Belden has the right cablingsolution, even if your cable is exposed toextreme conditions, including:

• Oil, chemicals, as well as water immersion

• UV/outdoor exposure

• High and low temperature variations

• Abrasion, crushing or cut-through

• Noise — EMI/RFI(electromagnetic interferenceor radio frequency interference)

Belden’s Industrial Ethernet product line isprimarily comprised of the following cableofferings: TrayOptic and FiberExpress opticalfiber cables and DataTuff copper cables.

TrayOptic Heavy-duty Indoor/OutdoorLaser-optimized Optical Fiber Cables

TrayOptic Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic cablesare designed for the industrial environmentand feature a water-blocking agent for evengreater protection. They also incorporate LaserOptimized Fiber to handle Gigabit Ethernetlight sources and any expanded bandwidthrequirements. They are suitable for use inboth risers and trays and available in 2- to72-fiber constructions.

FiberExpress Optical Fiber Cables

2- or 6-fiber cables in tight-buffered62.5 µm (FX300) and 50 µm (FX600) multimodeconstructions are suitable for use in plenums.Single-mode constructions feature either2- or 6-fiber constructions.

DataTuff Category 5e and 6 cables meetthe respective requirements of TIA/EIA 568.B,ISO/IEC 11801 and many are also compliant withEtherNet/IP™. The products are tray-rated andare comprised of 2-pair and 4-pair designs withstranded and solid conductors.

DataTuff Category 5e and EnhancedCategory 5e Twisted Pair Cables

Unshielded and shielded with heavy-dutyoil- and UV-resistant jackets.

DataTuff Category 6 Twisted Pair Cables

Unshielded and shielded UTP cables withheavy-duty oil- and UV-resistant jackets.


11

DataTuff Upjacketed and Armored Cables

Suitable for the more extreme environments.Most DataTuff cables feature Belden’s patentedBonded-Pair technology, an unshielded twistedpair construction that affixes the conductorinsulation of the unshielded twisted cable pairsalong their longitudinal axes to ensure that noperformance-robbing gaps develop between theconductor pairs. Since no gaps can occur, andthe conductor-to-conductor spacing, or centricity,is always uniform, the cable offers excellent andconsistently reliable electrical performance –even after the cable has been subjected to thebending, pulling and twisting that is inherent inthe installation process and the stresses of theplant floor. Belden calls this unique performancecapability Installable Performance.®
