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.
Automated production assembly
For frequent movement and mating, emphasizing service life, connector protection and downtime.
Field/environmental assembly
Reinforced toward dust, moisture, abrasion and wide-temperature strain relief.
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.
