Connectors for Industrial IoT

Although much of the focus of the Industrial IoT is on wireless and sensor technology, we shouldn’t overlook the added demands on connectors. Maintaining reliable wired connections will become increasingly difficult with the significant increase in power and data requirements and as new production environments demand increasingly adaptive approaches.

While advances in low power, reliable wireless and sensor technology are enabling the IIOT, we will still rely on wired connections to provide a solid foundation on which this new layer of innovation will depend.

Heat, friction, dust, moisture, humidity, chemicals, vibration, interference, and more. These cables and connectors have to endure a lot, every day. They need to stand up to it all and ensure the continued communication of data - the lifeblood of the connected factory.

Initially, as the IIoT arrives in the modern factory, it might appear more like evolution than revolution. But that means the technologies you choose, including connectors, must be able to adapt to continual change. Your connections will need to be up to speed, as the technology they support keeps progressing.
