Higher data rates, compact devices, less space

The advancing digitization increases the demands on the connection technology significantly. More and more devices are becoming IP-capable and should be operated with higher data rates. However, there is no more space in the control cabinet; on the contrary, devices and thus their connections should become more and more compact. Short connection times and high ease of use are still taken for granted.

The increasingly scarce resources of raw materials and the high energy costs require companies, municipalities and private households to use energy more and more consciously. Conscious primarily means “energy efficient”; In other words, to achieve maximum efficiency with the energy used (e.g. electricity, water, gas, ...) (e.g. brightness, heat, ...).

Compact, powerful and temperature resistant

The angled X-coded circuit board family impresses with its diverse application possibilities. They are available in three versions that adapt wall thicknesses from 0-2.5 mm, up to 4 mm and 5 mm. The integration in sheet metal as well as die casting is possible without any problems.

Control cabinet construction is facing ever greater challenges on the market, be it the increasing price and cost pressure, the ever faster delivery capacity, high machine and system availability or low downtimes and downtimes.

The OpDAT FAST™ Hybrid connector is a field installable FO connector that offers constant and good optical transmission values thanks to its new hybrid technology. The FO connector can be assembled easily and quickly in the field – without gluing, without polishing and without special tools.
