Tripp Lite Supports the Growth of Smart Factories with Industrial-Grade Cables and Connectivity Solutions
Industrial-Grade Products Connect IT in Demanding Environments
Tripp Lite, a global manufacturer of power protection and connectivity solutions, is helping customers support IT infrastructure in warehouses, factories and commercial environments with an expanded offering of industrial-grade cables and connectivity solutions. The new industrial products reinforce Tripp Lite's commitment to providing complete solutions for every IT environment.
The need for heavy-duty cables and connectivity solutions continues to grow as industrial and commercial facilities implement data-driven equipment, including Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices. According to Juniper Research, there will be 46 billion active IIoT devices by 2023. A large proportion of these devices will rely on edge computing to process and analyze data near its source.
"Warehouses and manufacturing plants rely on Ethernet connectivity to keep IIoT devices and other network equipment running smoothly," said David Posner, Director of Product Marketing, Connectivity. "With the growth of smart factories and edge computing, customers need purpose-built solutions that are designed to support connections in demanding environments like the factory floor. Tripp Lite is expanding its offering of industrial-grade products to provide IT managers with the best solution for their facility."
Among the additions to Tripp Lite's industrial line-up are Cat5e/Cat6 patch cables rated to IP67 for dust and moisture resistance, IP67-rated 4K HDMI cables with Ethernet support, an IP67-rated junction box, USB hubs with optional DIN-rail mounting and a USB hub with USB-C ports and USB 3.1 Gen 2 transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps.

Featured Product
PickerPal Products provides full case pick module protection to protect employees from falls.
PickerPal has two independent, spring-loaded arms that are self closing, which is preferred by OSHA. 3 arms are used when a kick plate is required. OSHA states that when an employee is within 4' of the edge, the area changes from a pallet position to a, "walking/working surface," which requires a kick plate or a third arm. The spring-loaded arms open on contact with the loaded skid and close on their own as products are off-loaded. This design provides multiple benefits: • Top arms close as product is removed, creating a safety gate, and the third arm closes when the empty pallet is removed. • Empty pallet positions are no longer a safety hazard. • Each are is easily replaced without removing the entire assembly.
