R&M launches cabling solutions for maritime and offshore applications

BANGALORE, INDIA: R&M, the Swiss cabling specialist, has introduced cabling solutions for maritime and offshore applications. The Network connectors along with field-terminable FM45, copper and fiber optic networks from R&M have been enabled for fast and quick-assembly technology that is user-friendly.

High-Performance Connectors for Copper and Fiber Optic Networks

Fiber optic technology has decisive advantages over copper cabling, especially in environments with strong electromagnetic fields and in longer cable links. The SC-RJ IP67 takes Ethernet over fiber optic cabling to anyplace subject to shaking and vibration, cold or heat, dust, moisture, oil or even more dangerous ambient conditions. The SC-RJ IP67 meets the requirements for the IP67protection class. IEC 60529 is built in SFF design to be compact and is compatible with existing platforms. These field-terminable connectors are suitable for all types of fiber.

Multimedia Solutions for Cabin Connections

A big challenge in building modern cruise ships is to supply hundreds of passenger cabins with Internet, audio, video, TV, board information, phone, controllable air-conditioning, security and alarm equipment for even greater comfort and convenience. Multimedia and broadband solutions from R&M are ideal for this purpose. They incorporate extensive experience from structured home cabling and video and broadband Internet for residential complexes.

Gaurav Ahluwalia, MD, R&M India said, "Maritime can progress technically, organizationally and economically by introducing Ethernet-IP Networks on their ships. Modern data networks help to increase the intelligence, efficiency, productiveness, comfort, safety and security of ships, ship traffic and offshore equipments. R&M's modular platform enables an effortless upgrade from copper to fiber optic cabling. This change allows the network to transport greater data quantities faster or to integrate new applications."
