New PoE long reach Ethernet extenders
Comment I A
dvantech’s new IMC- 150LPC PoE Ethernet extender uses extant
coaxial cables to deliver both power and data to locations up to 300m away. These capabilities are enhanced by an LFPT mechanism that augments transmission quality. These features make the IMC-150LPC ideal for industrial and rail network infrastructure upgrade projects with limited power and network resources. Advantech’s IMC-150LPC
series enables users to increase performance over earlier 100m Ethernet transmission ranges and deliver power and data, via a single coaxial cable, to distances as far as 300m away at speeds of 100Mbps. This empowers peripheral devices, such as IP cameras, while saving cabling costs, reducing installation complexity, and expanding power coverage and network services. The IMC-150LPC supports
both Ethernet and coaxial transmission, enabling network communication via extant underground coaxial cables. These features help users avoid downtime in manufacturing and surveillance when upgrading
network infrastructure.

n this month’s issue some of the key highlights include a Q&A with industry experts on the impact of the global semiconductor shortage on p21, with the automotive sector being one of the worst affected. Imagination Technologies explores how silicon is offering considerable
benefits to the future of automotive developments, once the supply issues even out that is, on p8. MAB Labs looks at how the Tracealyzer tool can be used to evaluate the performance of an algorithm written in different ways in Python on p14. Rutronik explores the options for sensors in automotive applications
requiring measurement of high currents and voltages on p30. Olympus Soft Imaging Solutions focuses on the major time savings
that can be achieved by using the right microscopy system, paired with the right metrology image analysis program during the inspection process on p32. Plus more of the regular news and product updates. Michelle Winny, Editor
The new Pi-Tron CM4 offers greater performance and extensive interface extensions
based on the Raspberry Pi with a Broadcom BCM2711, 4x Arm Cortex-A72 with 1.5GHz processor, an M.2 slot and many other interfaces. The Automation Line AL Pi-Tron CM4 is available in a housing, allowing for universal application and making it especially well-suited for industrial applications. This device is based on the new fourth-generation Compute Module and
K
features the Broadcom BCM2711 4x Arm Cortex-A72, 64- bit SoC @1.5 GHz, a significantly faster processor than the previous generation. It has more memory with 1GB, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM, depending on the variant. There are also options for an eMMC memory with 8GB, 16GB or 32GB available.

DIN 41494, IEC 60297-3 Standard encloures
A
ll METCASE 19” standard and customised enclosures now
conform to the latest DIN 41494, IEC 60297-3 standard for the mechanical structure of electronics equipment. Level 1 of the standard
covers the dimensions of Eurocard modules. Level 2 sets out the width in HP (1HP = 5.08mm) and height in U (1U = 44.45mm, 1.75”) of 19” rack
cases and subracks. These will be mounted in a Level 3 19” rack/cabinet or mini-rack (such as METCASE’s TECHNOMET 19”). The standard also governs front panel dimensions and
clearances, the width of racks required for mounting 19” cases, and the position of mounting apertures. flush with the case body – creating a modern, cohesive design with no visible fixing screws. Accessories for
METCASE 19” enclosures include standard front panels (1U to 6U), cantilever rack shelves (2U) and mounting hardware for fitting the equipment.

SparkFun Electronics Partners with MikroElektronika
SparkFun Electronics and MikroElektronika (MIKROE) have partnered to create two new boards that merge their combined three rapid prototyping ecosystems: SparkFun Qwiic, SparkFun MicroMod and MikroElektronika’s Click
boards. The new boards allow users to quickly click or plug boards and peripherals together for a solderless prototyping experience. The SparkFun RP2040
mikroBUS Development Board is a flexible digital interface featuring the
