New Belden faceplates ranges for Europe T

o complement its state-of-the-art Belden IBDN® networking system, Belden has introduced a new design of mounting hardware, with inserts that can hold both keystone and MDVO modular jacks.
Developed specifically for the enterprise environment, Belden’s new 6c and Euromod faceplates ranges comprise modular work area components – including faceplates, inserts and adapters to complete IBDN® workstations quickly and efficiently with the additional benefits of installation flexibility,
uniform aesthetics and reduced inventory. The Belden 6c range offers a choice of three faceplates, and three styles of inserts. The Euromod
range will consist of Belden’s first ever Euromod style, with a choice of three faceplates, and four styles of inserts offering increased flexibility and modularity.
Both ranges help to reduce inventory by using innovative crossbar technology, so that inserts are capable of accepting both Keystone and MDVO styles of modular jack. This is achieved by the insertion of a red crossbar for the keystone style modular jacks, and its removal for the MDVO style.
These new faceplates can be either wall-mounted on an appropriate wall back box or underfloor- mounted. Both faceplates and inserts are available in three colors: white, black and cool grey.
Label windows are situated at the top part of the faceplates, so that the cords do not block the
labels. This facilitates easy identification, avoiding labels at the bottom, where they cannot be seen easily after installation.
According to Andy Kuszczak, Product Manager at Belden: “All Belden faceplates are designed to provide maximum durability, protection and reliable performance. They feature a sturdy design for impact resistance, as the fire-retardant V0 plastic with UV stabilizers protects against color degradation. They include a shutter to protect modules from dust and debris and provide optimum performance, density and durability, while inserts and adapters are easily released for further configurations.”

he highly compact intelligent cameras from Vision Components’ VC nano series are optionally
available as board cameras or in a protective IP68 enclosure. Easy to integrate into machines,
they
provide for cost-efficient, high-performance image processing, especially when combined with the tested and proven software tools from Vision Components. Various software programs are available for a maximum range of applications: VC Barcode Reader for fast and reliable 1D code detection, VC Smart Reader for the detection of Data Matrix codes, and VC Smart Finder for contour-based object recognition. Based on a board that is populated on both sides, VC nano cameras reach ultra-compact dimensions of 40 x 65 mm or 80 x 45 x 20 mm. An additional hardware variant further facilitates integration:
several models are available with a
remote camera head measuring merely 22 x 22 x 19.5 mm and featuring a connection cable of up to a few meters length for maximum installation flexibil-ity.
