The Ins and Outs of Third-Party Certification
Likely you’ve noticed that cable, patch cords and connecting hardware from reputable manufacturers are promoted and labeled as third-party certified, verified or listed. Third-party certification is an extremely important part of our industry, giving you peace of mind that your chosen manufacturer has independently determined that their products comply with industry standards.

A Closer Look at Industrial Ethernet Cables
Last month, we published a blog about the various industrial Ethernet connectors including M-series and some new small form factor connectors like the iX and emerging single-pair Ethernet connectors. But what good is a connector designed to withstand the industrial environment without a cable that offers the same protection?

Industrial Ethernet Cable Problems - MICE
工业以太网对数据帧(有时称为数据包)丢失或损坏造成的延迟非常敏感。哪怕只有少量数据包丢失或损坏也会导致机器停机。上述问题通常是间歇性的，可能是由恶劣的工业环境造成的。工业以太网对数据帧(有时称为数据包)丢失或损坏造成的延迟非常敏感。哪怕只有少量数据包丢失或损坏也会导致机器停机。上述问题通常是间歇性的，可能是由恶劣的工业环境造成的。

Sometimes…It’s the Cable
有一则广告是这样说的：“我们了解真相，是因为我们亲眼目睹。”我们的测试仪已经对数十亿条链路进行了成功认证，每个工作日，每秒钟就会认证至少5条链路，因此我们几乎对所有可能出现的布线问题都了然于胸，这意味着我们看到过大量不良线缆。

Industrial Ethernet Connector Round-Up
在过去的十年中，我们听到了很多物联网(IoT)相关信息，由传感器技术驱动的联网设备和集成系统的数量不断增加，以及传统的专有和模拟设备向基于IP的通信转变。虽然IoT这一术语现在似乎有点过时了，但随着类似的技术进步正在工业领域悄然发生，术语IIoT(工业物联网)正变得越来越流行，相较于传统的现场总线协议，工业以太网在市场占有率方面已位居首位。
