The United States under North America is expected to witness significant growth in the wire and cable market due to the increasing developments in the wire and cable industry. The substantial growth can be primarily attributed to the increase in renewable energy generation is expected to influence electricity trade in the region. ...

The wire and cable market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2021 - 2026). The demand for wire and cables across the globe weakened due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. During the initial phase of COVID-19 pandemic, the demand was usually weak, but production usually continues at reduced levels....

Underwater connectors in military electronics designed for submarines and other deep-sea applications must endure pressure, temperature cycling, seawater corrosion, and different types of shock....

Fieldbus cables are used in measurement and control systems for connecting the field devices with the centre. In contrast to instrumentation cables, fieldbuses should be dimensioned for considerably higher data rates. Control functions and the energy supply of the terminal devices as well as additional services such as active wear monitoring for the terminal devices are transmitted via these connections....

Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network's topology, protocol, and size. Understanding the characteristics of different types of cable and how they relate to other aspects of a network is necessary for the development of a successful network....

The vast number of choices can make selecting a cord set a daunting task. But before selecting a cord set, it's critical to evaluate the environment and understand why a cord set is required. Understanding the need will help to narrow down the selection significantly. ...

Thirty years ago most industrial control systems (ICS) were hardwired. Often sensors and actuators came with long wires already attached or individual wires that weren't even jacketed together. Those wires would be threaded through conduits and then wired into the system. This was a time-consuming process that required the services of an electrician, costing organizations significant time and money. ...

The M8 connector and the M12 connector are the two most widely used connectors in industrial connectors. What is the difference? Let me introduce you to the following:...

M12 connectors are circular connectors with a 12-mm locking thread used for sensors, actuators, Fieldbus and industrial Ethernet, primarily in factory automation applications. Often with ratings ofIP65, IP68 and IP69K, they are ideal for wash down and corrosive environments....

In the electronics realm, a variety of connectors can be used to transmit power and signals, and carry network and data signals throughout a facility. These multi-pin contact designs are easily installed and removed. Over the years, circular connectors have grown to be some of the most common, as they are more compact and can provide a small envelope compared to their rectangular counterparts. Different applications require different designs. Here’s a look at some of the most common ones....

Circular connectors are used in a wide range of applications including industrial, energy, medical, and military. Here, ODU examines current and future trends in five things to know about circular connectors. From industrial electronics and energy technology to medical and military technology, circular connectors are used in many different markets and applications. Here are five main trends for the future: ...

The first and earliest forms of connectors produced for joining the system together were the M16 connector. In modern times, these forms of connectors provide end-to-end solutions to many varieties of indoor electronic appliances. ...
