Data network cabling system offers high flexibility for theatre backstage applications


HARTING’s new Ha-VIS preLink(R) interconnection system offers a new installation concept for data network cabling according to ISO/IEC 1180.1, and is ideally suited to heavy-duty applications in theatre backstage and upstage areas. The new connection technology simplifies cabling, saves installation time and enables extensions and conversions without incurring significant interruptions to existing operations. With the Ha-VIS preLink(R) system, the data cable is first assembled in the


preLink(R) termination block, which then simply snaps into the preLink(R) standard RJ45 jacks or optional HARTING plug modules. The preLink(R) cables can be either terminated in the field or factory supplied pre-terminated in a reliable, performance-guaranteed, pre-tested state. Installation flexibility is enhanced by easy replacement and “drag through”


in narrow ducting of the small cross-section preLink(R) cables, allowing future- proof upgrades from Cat 5 100 Mbit/s to Cat 6 EA 10 Gbit/s performance. HARTING offers a patch panel for installation in 19-inch cabinets or frames


in accordance with IEC/DIN EN 60297-3-100 (DIN 41494-1). A mix of up to 24 individual Ha-VIS preLink(R) RJ45 socket modules and RJ Industrial(R) 10G couplers can be loaded into the patch panel. The users benefit from the flexibility that allows them to decide for themselves whether they want to work with pre-terminated cables or patch cables. To complete the range of solutions for theatre installations, HARTING also


offers a Ha-VIS preLink(R) IP 20/30 AP Box for mounting on walls and pillars or on DIN rails according to DIN EN 60715. The AP Box simply consists of two housing sections and preLink(R) RJ45 modules. The AP Box is pre-assembled and is quick and easy to install. Cables can be fed in from above or below. Both RJ45 ports have angled outlets and can be labelled.

Essemtec introduces new Cobra Feeder Cart


The new Cobra Feeder Cart from Essemtec holds up to 90 feeders and reels. The cart simplifies the set-up of SMD pick-and- place machines and facilitates feeder handling. Ninety fully loaded feeders are


quite heavy but, with Essemtec’s Cobra Feeder Cart, they can be moved through production quickly. The cart also doubles as an easily accessible feeder storage platform. Especially when pick-and-place machines and component storage are not in the same location, the feeder cart is an indispensable assistant. It serves as storage for feeders used for the next job as well as a repository for feeders disassembled from the pick- and-place machine. All types of Cobra feeders can


be mounted on the cart including component reels. Additionally, transporting feeders in the cart is safe because the door and elevator thresholds will not allow the feeders to fall out. Nevertheless, mounting and dismounting feeders from the cart is simple and easy. The Feeder Cart features a slim, agile design, allowing it to be easily pushed around tight production floors. Two racks for 45 feeders each are arranged above each other, saving space and simplifying accessibility. Additionally, the feeder cart’s 360° wheels allow users to push it in any direction. The cart is delivered as an add-on


to the SMD pick-and-place systems Cobra and Paraquda. Essemtec also supplies feeder racks for wall mount, for example, to install fixed feeder storage near the pick-and-place machine. www.essemtec.com
