When it comes to network cable, connectivity and equipment, industrial environments are not to be confused with commercial enterprise environments. With the increased adoption of Internet protocol and Ethernet for industrial networking, it makes sense to have the right components for the job. Hardened cable, connectors and switches and routers that are specifically designed for industrial applications provide reliable, cost-effective automation solutions.

In some environments, networking products are placed in clean air conditioned offices, where installers often give less thought to hardening characteristics of switches, routers, and the cables used to connect them. But, other environments are less “pristine”. Here, industrial communications and control networks are expected to operate consistently and reliably under extreme conditions, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), high operating temperatures, ambient outdoor temperatures, power/voltage fluctuations, machine vibration, mechanical hazards and more.
