METZ CONNECT News

More and more subjects in buildings (e.g. lightning, heating, ventilation…) are now networking in the world of building automation. Communication plays a very important role, which in turn requires standards to ensure that it functions safely and smoothly.

The world of office and industrial cabling is growing ever closer. While the Ethernet used to be the standard for data and voice transmission only in office environments in the past, it is now increasingly used for industrial applications. For this, the cULus listing is increasingly required.

METZ CONNECT has been offering fiber optic outdoor cables by the meter since August. Outside cables, like the well-known universal cables, are available as gel-filled loose tube cables with 1x4, 1x12, 1x24 and 4x12 fibers. As with all METZ CONNECT cables, the fiber types OS2, OM3 and OM4 are insensitive to bending.

How are our digital device data used in practice?

Industry 4.0 is already a reality in many areas. The basic prerequisite for this is digital device data. They form the basis for consistent and virtual engineering. Tomorrow's designer can access standardized and fully digitized device data from METZ CONNECT for his entire value chain, i.e. from product creation to production. With the high-quality and refined EPLAN article data, design and manufacture of the control cabinet can save up to 30 % in costs.
