GiHCS® Industrial Networking Solution
The rapid adoption of Industrial Ethernet has led to significant changes and new demands in industrial networking applications requiring the introduction of industrialized communications systems. Fast (100 Mb/sec) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mb/sec) data rates demand higher bandwidth and real-time, low-latency communications. The increasing use of intelligent electronic devices, utility-grade rugged IP routers, and Ethernet switches is driving IP-based communications on the production floor.
A high bandwidth, rugged, and reliable cabling solution is indispensable for industrial networking as adoption of increased data rates emerges. To meet this need, OFS offers Graded-Index HCS® (GiHCS®) Fiber Optical Cable with easy-to-use crimp and cleave LC and ST connectors. Using OFS’ LC and ST Crimp and Cleave simple hand tools, technicians can easily learn to install fiber connectors in industrial spaces. Taking just minutes to learn, field technicians can rapidly install new or repair damaged optical fiber cables without messy adhesives or tedious polishing procedures.
