Industrial Connector Component Engineering and Manufacturing

Siemon supplies IP-Rated (Waterproof) Industrial MAX connectors and other connectivity components for embedded industrial manufacturing equipment applications, outdoor applications, wireless access point equipment applications and military hardware applications.

Industrial MAX connectors are ideal in applications requiring additional protection from dust, temperature extremes, moisture, EMI and vibration. Such environments include networked hardware on factory floors, wash down rooms, theme parks, chemical refineries, food processing plants, hospitals, marine sites, mines, warehouses and mobile units.

The benefits for relying on Siemon industrial connector components:

1. Siemon's expertise in rugged high-performance industrial connectivity component manufacturing
2. Economies of scale through Siemon's global manufacturing capabilities
3. Quicker product development time
4. Benefit from Siemon's patented IP-rated Industrial MAX connector products

Examples of Siemon industrial connector products

Industrial Modular Plug The RJ45-IP67 circular bayonet locking plug is designed to comply with IEC 60603-7. This plug is also ideal for a variety of industrial applications including hospitals, robotics, petrochemical, marinas, food processing or others that require high speed data connectivity in heavy-duty and extreme conditions.
Industrial LC Fiber The Siemon Industrial LC Fiber solution provides a robust fiber connection with an IP66/IP67-rated seal and is ideal for protecting valuable connections in laboratory environments, hospitals, food processing plants and other harsh environments.
Industrial PCB Outlet The Industrial MAX PCB modular jack features high performance connectivity housed in a robust protective shell. The jack's outer housing is made of durable, chemical-resistant, industrial-grade thermoplastic and includes a patent-pending bayonet style mating interface.
Industrial MAX Dust Caps Outlet dust caps can be used to protect unused outlets or to seal an outlet during wash down periods when the outlet and plug may be disconnected. Plug dust caps protect Industrial MAX patch cords from exposure to elements or accidental damage when not mated to an outlet.

Standards organization recognition

The Industrial MAX interface is recognized by the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA), the Industrial Automation Open Networking Alliance (IAONA) in IEC 61076-3-104 and Rockwell Automation Encompass program.

ODVA is an international association comprised of members from the world's leading automation companies. Collectively, ODVA and its members support network technologies based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™).

IAONA is the independent platform organization for industrial Ethernet and the standardization and harmonization of innovative technologies at an international level.

Rockwell Encompass has approved the Industrial MAX interface into the Rockwell Encompass program.

End User Adoption

The Industrial MAX connector is already used by major Siemon end user network cabling customers as part of the Siemon Cabling System. Customers include major military, manufacturing, airline, and pharmaceutical organizations.

International (Ingress) Protection (IP) codes

The International (Ingress) Protection (IP) code defines an interfaces resistance to both liquid and solid particles. Siemon's Industrial MAX connector features an IP67 rated seal ensuring continued operation in today's most demanding environments.
