Network Technology (Ex d, Ex e, Ex nR, Ex op)
As a pioneer in the digitalization of process automation, Pepperl+Fuchs has set itself the goal of bringing Ethernet technology into hazardous areas. Splice boxes made of glass fiber-reinforced polyester or stainless steel enable the safe connection of fiber optic cable splices, while our solutions for conventional industrial Wi-Fi® access points form the basis for the operation of wireless networks in hazardous areas.
Wireless Access Point Solutions
The EJB10A.I.CP-Y* series comprises an Ex d IIB+H2 and Ex tb certified wireless access point solution for installation in hazardous areas up to and including Zone 1 and Zone 21. The system enables the use of industrial wireless access points (e.g. Cisco MR 46 or ARUBA AP-535) in hazardous areas and ensures a seamless network connection while complying with the relevant safety standards. Explosion-proof antennas attached to the aluminum enclosure ensure the best possible radiation of the high-frequency radio signals.
The GUB3L.I.CP-Y* series comprises an Ex d IIC and Ex tb certified wireless access point solution for installation in hazardous areas up to and including Zone 1 and Zone 21. The system enables the use of industrial wireless access points (e.g. Cisco MR 46 or ARUBA AP-535) in hazardous areas and ensures a seamless network connection while complying with the relevant safety standards. Explosion-proof antennas attached to the aluminum enclosure ensure the best possible radiation of the high-frequency radio signals.
The GR.RER* series includes a wireless access point solution for Zone 2 hazardous areas. Conventional industrial Wi-Fi access points such as the Cisco MR 46 or ARUBA AP-535 are mounted inside a glass fiber reinforced polyester housing with Ex nR protection. A second, smaller enclosure in type of protection Ex ec contains an Ex e certified patch panel for easy connection and maintenance. In combination with intrinsically safe mobile devices, this enables continuous Wi-Fi communication even in hazardous areas.
Splice Boxes
The GR.TFO splice boxes in glass fiber reinforced polyester enable safe protection of fiber optic cable splices in hazardous areas.
The SR.TFO.* series is a range of fiber optic splice boxes designed for protection of optical fiber cable splices in hazardous areas. Up to 8 splice trays are installed inside the sturdy stainless steel enclosure.
