01 / CONFIGURATION DIRECTIONS

Select a configuration from the application boundaries

These configurations establish a practical discussion starting point. The final product requires a controlled specification based on interface, length, installation and validation conditions.

01

Data plus power

High-speed data, control and power combined while thermal, electromagnetic and mechanical separation are managed.

02

Coax/fiber plus control

Sensitive communication units integrated with lower-speed control to reduce separate cable count.

03

Electrical plus pneumatic/fluid

Electrical cores and tubing co-designed for end effectors or test equipment.

Match a solution direction to the link target

Solution codes support early technical discussions by aligning protocol, construction, link boundaries and application in one view.
