2 Three technologies for industrial markets

3 System solutions for communication and power supply Your partner for system solutions The HUBER+SUHNER Group is a leading global supplier of components and systems for electrical and optical connectivity. Our customers in Communications, Industrial and Transportation markets appreciate that we are specialists with detailed knowledge of practical applications. We offer technical expertise in radio frequency technology, fiber optics and lowfrequency under one roof, thus providing a unique basis for continual innovation focused on the needs of our customers all over the world. Supplier for the Industrial Market The industrial market of HUBER+SUHNER covers construction and industrial wiring. Such wide-ranging applications represent quite a design challenge, with different applications making demands on transmission capacity, ease of installation, heat resistance, fire resistance, current capacity, robustness or compactness of overall size. Excellence in Connectivity Solutions

4 Automation and machinery Highly mechanised and automated industrial plants pose high requirements in terms of the power supply and the communication between the subsystems and with the system control centre. Increased demands are placed on the solutions deployed with regard to their insensitivity to dust and water, mechanical ruggedness, resistance to vibrations and insensitivity to a various types of fluids. In addition to fixed cabling systems, modern manufacturing and logistics systems call for flexibility of the data transmission, which, generally speaking, is possible with the aid of WLAN and with RFID.

5 Automation and machinery Fields of use Power supply Measurement and control Monitoring Data transmission Service portfolio Fiber-optic connectivity solutions and fiber management systems Radio frequency cable assemblies, lightning protection components and antennas Power supply and electrical data bus cables, cable systems Customer benefits Integrated system solutions from a single supplier Solutions in accordance with customer specifications Satisfaction of high requirements such as fire, temperature range, etc. Technical advice, consulting on product selection Comprehensive documentation Implementation of international logistic guidelines 5

6 Fiberoptic solutions The Ethernet communications protocol proven in the office sector migrated as universal Industrial Ethernet into the industrial sector, which satisfies all the requirements needed by industrial automation. Since high data rates, longer distances and insensitivity to electro-magnetic fields are increasingly called for, fiber-optic technology is constantly forging ahead into what have thus far been the domains of copper signalling cables. Fiber optic technology is ideally suited for setting up an end-to-end, efficient network in office and factory premises and constitutes a good investment with spare capacity for future upgrading. The solutions offered by HUBER+SUHNER guarantee continuous data transmission under harsh environmental conditions in permanently installed and mobile industrial applications, and satisfy the specifications defind by international standards, European standards and user organisations, e.g. PNO with PROFINET. Fields of use Cabling of automation systems Control of conveyor and crane systems Control and monitoring of assembly lines and warehouse departments Service portfolio Assemblies with robust connectors for harsh environments with screw-type or snap-on mechanism ODC, VARIOCONNECT, SC-RJ, EBC and standard types Pre-terminated, ready-to-use cabling systems MASTERLINE, SMARTLINE Compact, robust cables for fixed, mobile and portable applications Fiber management systems and Quick Assembly field termination system

8 Radio frequency solutions Many years of experience in the core field of expertise of RF and microwave technology enable HUBER+SUHNER AG to devise sophisticated specialist solutions for industrial applications in the shortest of time. Early involvement at the start of a project plus functional specifications are the key factors for optimised solutions. Our motto «Excellence in Connectivity Solutions» stands for a constantly high level of quality, plus a high-grade and broad product range coupled with reliable worldwide customer service. Fields of use Installation of industrial networks with coaxial cables Low-loss, environmentally friendly, flexible coaxial cables for connecting Antennas and Sensors Coaxial cables from high-grade materials for use in harsh environmental conditions Service portfolio More than 20 radio-frequency connector series for frequencies from DC to 65 GHz Connectors for coaxial, symmetrically shielded and triaxial cables Hermetically sealed coaxial connectors QMA and QN series (Quick-lock connectors) comply with the Quick-Lock Formula (QLF Standard) RG cables according to MIL-C-17 ENVIROFLEX cables: Halogen-free and flame-retardant cable family Coaxial cables with low smoke emission in case of fire (LSFH Low Smoke Free of Halogen)

10 Overvoltage protection solutions Modern manufacturing and production facilities call for an extremely high degree of immunity against a whole range of environmental influences. In particular, these systems require a very high level of interference resistance with regard to electromagnetic immissions caused by lightning strikes, switching processes, etc. that are coupled into networks in a whole variety of ways. To maintain and ensure continuous operation, it is necessary to protect equipment and devices against overvoltages on feeder and connecting lines, both above and below ground, with suitable means of protection. In particular, this applies to monitoring and control equipment and devices networked with data lines (sensor/actuator lines) on the basis of industrial ETHERNET or coaxial lines, especially in aerial connections. Fields of use Video surveillance systems Large area lighting systems/outdoor lights Coaxial cable networks Antenna installations Radio transmission technology Wireless Access Point (WLAN, WiMAX, WiFi, etc.) Hazard alert / alarm systems Industrial ETHERNET Service portfolio Data line protectors/surge protectors series ETHERNET for Class D applications (CAT5 up to 1000 Base-T) - IP20 or waterproof version IP68 available Coaxial surge protector gas capsule technology series Broad-band DC to 6 GHz - DC transmission for remote power supply possible - Rapid response time - Waterproof design Coaxial surge protectors Lambda/4 technology series For high lightning currents - Extremely effective protection characteristic - Maintenance-free - Waterproof design

12 Wireless solutions A vast array of solutions for wireless communication is also increasingly being used in the industrial sector. In addition to popular WLAN technology, new technologies such as RFID and 60 GHz point-to-point connections are opening up entirely new possibilities. Unlike wired communication, it is possible to respond more flexibly to changing environmental conditions avoiding the need for costly cable installations. Besides stationary installations, mobile solutions (installation on vehicles) are also possible. HUBER+SUHNER draws on a wealth of experience in the development and production of antennas. The products have been developed with particular attention to the exacting environmental requirements applicable in the industrial sector and in close cooperation with leading system providers.
