Panduit TIA-1005-A M.I.C.E Rated Products | Digi-Key Daily

Panduit offers solutions that meet the TIA-1005-A M.I.C.E guidelines for the factory floor, work area, or automation island. Environmental classifications and ratings based on mechanical, ingress, climatic, chemical, and electromagnetic attributes provide a method of categorizing the environmental classes required for each of the industrial areas. Panduit’s offerings include: IndustrialNet™ M12 Cat 5e and Cat 6A cable assemblies; pre-configured network zone enclosures with various ethernet, fiber, power, and cooling options; industrial uninterruptible power supplies up to for loads up to 100W; and modular connector plugs and adapters. Panduit offers detailed ratings for each attribute, allowing industrial physical infrastructure designers to identify the correct solution based on the target environment. Designing for the manufacturing environment requires an intimate knowledge of these areas to ensure the infrastructure supports the different environments found on the plant floor. Considerations such as shock and vibration, handling of water or dust, temperature, wash-down areas, exposure to acids or oil mixtures, and electromagnetic noise must be taken into account when selecting solutions to support these harsh environments. and are rated as 1 = low, 2 = medium, and 3 = high.
