Belden MIPP modular industrial patch panels

Belden has released a range of structured modular industrial patch panel (MIPP) products for harsh industrial applications.

The three industrial-strength MIPPs include: the MIPP Fiber Splice Box, the MIPP Copper Patch Panel, and the MIPP Mix.

The MIPP Fiber Splice Box is designed to efficiently terminate various types of fibre cabling in a wide range of industrial applications. A single MIPP Fiber Splice Box allows for termination and patching of up to 72 fibre cables, saving customers both space and costs, especially in closed cabinets where space is a premium.

The MIPP Copper Patch Panel helps to improve reliability for both industrial Ethernet and Profinet networks. Together, through Belden’s MIPP and DataTuff patch cords, copper cables can be terminated and linked to active equipment in an organised and structured manner. One MIPP Copper Patch Panel can terminate and patch up to 24 copper cables.

For networks using both fibre and copper cabling, the MIPP Mix integrates the connection of both cabling infrastructures in one single solution. With high port density and flexibility, the combination of copper and fibre ports can include up to six modules per device.

Each of the MIPPs are constructed of lightweight, high-strength aluminium in order to securely protect the cabling connections under the harshest industrial conditions. The products’ rugged design and UL 1863 certification are suitable for use by network engineers and system installers in environments like power transmission and distribution, transportation, alternative power generation, machine building and automation.
