Optical isolation p45

Serial connections in industrial environments can

cause problemsReliability in your point-to-point serial

communication can be affected in a haz-ardous environment. Serial communication

wiring can be surrounded by equipmentthat produces static electricity. Your serial

devices can be in danger of sudden surgewaves. B&B Electronics 485OPDRi and

232OPDRi isolators are the solution.

Ultraline enclosures p86

Fiberglass enclosures fabricated from a proprietaryformulation provide superior performance and protective properties in a wide variety of environments. Because it does not block radiowaves, fiberglass is perfectly suited for wirelessapplications. These maintenance-free enclosuresare NEMA type 4X rated, designed and tested tobe waterproof and corrosion resistant.
