The HARTING Technology Group has developed a new range of Ethernet switches that facilitates the use of high-performance plug & play gigabit network solutions in the smallest space for data-intensive applications.
Molded Case Switches as the name suggest are electro-mechanical device used in switching on or off an electrical circuit. These devices, unlike the Molded Case Circuit Breakers don’t offer protection against overcurrent faults or branch circuit protection. These devices are also important because they allow for the safe isolation of main circuits. Noark Electric offers a complete range of Molded Case Switches in six frame sizes.
Engineers can more quickly design, build and commission automation systems using the newly enhanced Rockwell Software Studio 5000 integrated development environment .

Get a more efficient lockout process with the Panel Lockout. Instead of locking out individual breakers, this device effectively locks out all circuit breakers — at once. That’s because it attaches to closed panel doors. It offers easy installation with its one-piece design, and features an adjustable cable to fit a wide range of panel doors.
The KDL/D cable entry system allows cables to be installed through enclosures or other bulkhead surfaces, with the added benefit that pre-made, terminated cables can be installed without disassembling the connectors. The split-frame system enables the quick and simple installation of up to 48 cables in a single frame.
