In harsh industrial and military settings, standard commercial connectivity components will fail causing expensive downtime and even danger to lives in some applications.
To address these demanding applications, specialized cables, connectors and other connectivity products must be used to ensure network uptime and performance.
Ruggedized cabling and interconnects must be able to withstand conditions such as extreme temperatures, moisture, corrosive chemicals, heavy vibration and more.
Communication systems for use in military operations are exposed to similar harsh conditions. Many of the voice, video and data systems used by the military are mobile and designed for rapid deployment where similar temperature, extreme shock, vibration, dust and moisture environments are prevalent. Other potential hazards encountered in these applications include heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which also create connectivity problems in these environments.
If you are building or managing networks in harsh environments and want to know more about the products created specifically to withstand and perform in these settings, we are here to help. We’ve created a video to explain more about L-com’s ruggedized product solutions and the applications they’re used in.
