How industries put our network products to work
Example applications and the products we typically recommend for them.
Factory automation
Ethernet in tight control panels
- Challenge
- Office switches are too large, need airflow and stop when their single power supply fails.
- Contec solution
- SH-8008F-2 fan-less 8-port switching hub with centered DIN-rail mounting.
- Why it fits
- Small metal housing, -20 to +60 °C operation and dual 8–35 VDC inputs for redundancy.
Transportation
PoE power for field devices
- Challenge
- Devices in outdoor cabinets and transport systems need network and power from a single cable.
- Contec solution
- SH-9008AT-POE2 Gigabit switch with 7 IEEE802.3af/at PoE+ ports.
- Why it fits
- Up to 30 W per port, a cascade port and -40 to +70 °C operation with derating.
OEM equipment
Add Wi-Fi to existing machines
- Challenge
- Equipment with a LAN port needs wireless connectivity without changing its OS or CPU.
- Contec solution
- FXE3000-US embedded wireless LAN board that connects to the equipment LAN port.
- Why it fits
- Station, Access Point and Repeater modes on a 50 g board powered by DC or PoE.
Remote monitoring
Wireless where cables cannot reach
- Challenge
- Monitoring points and mobile equipment are costly or impossible to cable.
- Contec solution
- FXA3000-US access point with 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and PoE or DC power.
- Why it fits
- Access Point, Station or Repeater roles and magnet mounting on metal surfaces.
Engineered for uptime
