Modular industrial patch panel

March 2012 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Belden’s new MIPP is a termination panel for cables that need connecting to active equipment such as switches. Thanks to the modular design, it can be linked to create a large single patch panel, to which both fibre and copper cables can be connected.

The MIPP is a new solution that provides the ideal connection between Belden cables and Hirschmann switches. Available in a choice of modules suitable for both fibre and copper cables, up to six modules can be connected to create a single panel that can accommodate both types of cable at the same time for maximum system flexibility. Using patch cords to connect to active equipment, cables can be terminated outside the cabinet in an organised and structured manner to ensure high reliability. The industrial design makes it highly suited for use in machine building, transportation, power generation and distribution as well as for general use in enterprise, buildings and other applications.

Benefits

The MIPP is designed for industrial use where its functionality and reliability can make a significant contribution to the uptime and availability of the system. Thanks to its modular design, installation is quick and easy saving time and reducing set-up costs, whilst at the same time contributing to greater reliability and easier and more efficient system management.

The unit has a lightweight aluminium structure for increased overall versatility. It easy to mount on DIN rail or it can attach at the sides of the cabinets using a wall mount plate. Thanks to its small housing, high port density and modularity, cabinet space is kept to a minimum.
