Industrial Networks

Industrial Ethernet is all about machines going online. It is about the convergence of control systems, data traffic and communication in industrial environments, traditional bus systems and universal office communication.

This calls for a structured cabling of industrial plants along the same lines as office cabling. However, this particular infrastructure is exposed to extremely tough environmental condi-tions. The international standardization bodies have defined standards for data cabling in the industrial sector: ISO/IEC 24702 and EN 50173-3.

R&M offers a complete portfolio to enable you to operate Industrial Ethernet reliably. The modular, future-proof solutions offer an added plus in reliability, sturdiness and usability to guarantee the all-important high levels of availability. R&M’s high-quality copper and fiber optic cabling systems can all be used with the same degree of efficiency, from office to machine, on 19” and top-hat rail platforms.

Innovative installation solutions reduce the amount of work required in field assembly. IDC technology and IP67 protection systems guarantee the best connections in tough production environments. With the R&M security system, users can achieve even higher levels of availability and protection against tampering.
