9 BRAD CAT6A X-CODED CORDSETS • Withstands harsh and high-vibration applications while delivering speeds of up to 10Gbps Ethernet. • Offer superior signal integrity through a 360° shielded X-code interface that allows for blind mating while an anti-scoop proof design prevents pin damage during mating. • Receptacle PCB stand-offs attach securely to PCB to prevent connector rotation, and these receptacles can be mounted using through-hole reflow (THR) technology to allow for an automated assembly process LEARN MORE> MICRO-D HIGH-DENSITY CONNECTORS • Economical solution for commercial applications that require shielding and the density of a microminiature connector. • Rugged commercial design with a metal interface and grounding tabs providing improved mechanical and electrical shield conditions. • Dual contact crimp for more reliable tensile strength, no cable distortion for superior strain relief, and the end- user can terminate the receptacle. LEARN MORE> CHALK TALK: ANTENNAS TRANSFORMING THE IIOT LANDSCAPE The advances in sensor-fusion technology, AI, and computing are now enabling reliable and beneficial drone deployments. Drones or flying robots are fascinating aerial applications of IIoT. They are designed to operate in hazardous conditions. They can deal with high-temperature flare stacks and go into vapor-filled fuel tanks while they're in operation. Drone inspections demand the processing of large amounts of data. To optimize the inspections, AI can be used adaptably to decipher the fastest aerial route, avoid obstacles, and determine the best action in a scenario. Drones can gather high-quality video, photographic images, IR, and various vital metrics—from temperature to metal corrosion—to detect and predict impending failures. This enormous volume of data gets analyzed in cloud servers that often use a second level of AI and machine learning to create models and predict maintenance windows. Conclusion Increasingly, the IIoT is creating an intelligent, digitally-enabled mesh of people, things, and services. It is enabling a future where designers can utilize in concert the various IIoT applications to efficiently close the gap between human imagination and reality. n
