Cables:

Copper Patch: Black Box offers 3-Series CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A Premium lockable patch cables which come equipped with up to three levels of security. The cable can have no pin, designated as “protected” for everyday network connections. The next level up is the green secure locking pin which holds the cable in place and can be released simply by squeezing the pin. The highest level is the red locking pin which requires a removal tool to remove the cable to prevent unauthorized access.

Cabling is an important part of any network. When choosing the right cable, you have to consider factors like cost, mobility, and convergence. These cables come in numerous standards, such as CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, CAT7, and CAT7a. “Standards establish technical criteria and ensure uniformity and compatibility in and between networks” –Black Box Product Guide. The CAT5e and CAT6A patch cables are noted to be good for general purpose network connections. The CAT6 series are ideal for preventing accidental disconnects, which is good for industrial, manufacturing, and mission-critical environments.

Fiber: They also offer fiber patch cables which offer a greater bandwidth than standard copper cables, higher security and low attenuation. Black Box even offers them in bulk with no minimum length, so you can order them cut-to-length. Their fiber patch cables come in different types consisting of Economy, Multicolored, Pre-Terminated, Premium, and Black Box Connect.

Other cables include copper bulk, audio/video cables for your AV and multimedia, coax & twinax cables for security systems, computer and data cables, fiber bulk/patch/pigtails/trunk, serial cables, modular/telephone for telephone connections, USB, and speciality cables.

KVM:  A KVM switch, (KVM, short for keyboard, video, and mouse) allows one to control one or more CPU’s or servers with one keyboard, mouse, and monitor. KVM can be used in video control rooms for broadcasting, retail, manufacturing, law enforcement and various other industries that require multiple screens

Black Box offers 2-, 4-, and 8-port KVM switches for desktop KVM  use. This gives a user access to multiple systems while still providing HD video, creating a unified desktop system across multiple monitors.

They also offer IP enabled KVM switches for KVM applications on remote servers over a LAN.

Their air force approved secure KVM line offers 2- and 4- port KVM switches to maximize safety between secure and non-secure networks.

Black Box’s server room/enterprise KVM switches are used for control of remote servers for both local and remote users.

Black Box additionally offers KVM matrix switching, specialty KVM, virtual desktop computing, KVM trays, extenders, cables, and accessories.  

Networking gear: Black Box’s inventory of networking gear helps to develop and expand networks.

Media Converters: These allow you to connect different types of media such as a twister pair, fiber, or coax within one network. It lets a user extend their Ethernet network past the 100-meter limit. They can be commercial grade, industrial, managed, or 10-Gigabit.

Console Servers: Console Servers give a network manager a single, centralized access point to remotely oversee, operate, and troubleshoot IT infrastructure. They ensure maximum uptime, ranging anywhere from 2- to 48- ports. 

Extenders: With an Ethernet extender, you can expand your network beyond the 100-meter limit. This is used to establish networks that are physically separated, such as those across a campus, across a town, or across a building. They’re commonly utilized in commercial and industrial environments, as well as for general wireless applications. Black Box offers extenders over coax, over UTP, over T1, over Ethernet, and more. 

Ethernet Switches: Black Box offers small office/home office, industrial, and commercial/office grade Ethernet switches. The commercial/home office and industrial grade have a wide variety of port options, while the small office/home office grade’s compact size saves space.

Legacy Technologies: Black Box sells legacy technology devices to keep legacy networks functioning smoothly.

PoE:  PoE, or Power over Ethernet, carries data and power over one Ethernet cable. It’s convenient because it powers devices that aren’t near a power outlet or are in a hard to reach area. PoE’s are easy to use and save devices from power failures. You can use extenders, midspan injectors, repeaters, splitters, and switches, all of which are offered by Black Box. 

Video & Multimedia:

Adapters: They offer a remote composite adapter which can be paired with splitter modules to broadcast to more video sources. They offer a VGA DDC Ghost to ensure trouble-free VGA video connections in digital signage systems. They have a Mini DisplayPort Male to VGA Female Adapter to convert video signals from Mini DisplayPort to VGA format, as well as an HDMI Male-DVI-D Female Adapter to convert between HDMI cables/ports to DVI. Their USB 2.0 video adapter allows you to take live digital video from an analog camera, while their DVI-D EDID and HDMI EDID ghosts optimizes video output on any display.

Film Capacitors come in two standard designs, a film-foil combination where plastic or paper films are interleaved with metal foils that serve as electrodes, or as a Metalized construction where film has aluminum or zinc deposited in it to serve as the electrodes.

Metalized film capacitors show there advantages where smaller applications are needed due to their smaller size and lower weight. Metalized capacitors also have a built in “healing” property where in the case of voltage stress the film will clear itself and heal the point of damage. Due to this “healing” property most metalized film capacitors are tolerant of overvoltage.

Circuits which require high currents may need a film-foil combination capacitor. The heavy foil of this combination offers low electrical resistance and excellent thermal dissipation preventing internal hot spots and optimizing the circuit efficiency.

Impregnated capacitors are recommended for high voltage circuits where corona may be a problem. Wax is suitable for a lower temperature application. For higher temperature application oil is a suitable impregnant. These capacitors can be either metalized or film-foil combination. Also, series wound units are used to prevent corona.

DLI makes capacitors for high frequency applications demanding near perfect, almost lossless devices. Their components use specially developed, proprietary materials tuned to provide optimized high Q, low ESR responses. 

They are the world’s largest supplier of single-layer capacitors, typically used in hybrid and high-frequency modules, offering the broadest range of material and device options.  Our multilayer capacitors include traditional “porcelain” products, as well as highly temperature-stable and extremely low ESR chips and a family of broadband blocks.

Exciting things are happening at Illinois Capacitor!

Klein Tools was founded in 1857 by an industrious German immigrant, Mathias Klein, who began in the hand tool business when a broken side-cutting pliers was brought to his forge shop by a telegraph lineman. Mathias repaired the pliers by forging and finishing a new half for the tool and riveting it to the old half. Soon the lineman returned because the other original half of the pliers had broken and needed replacement. Mathias forged and finished the second half of the pliers and riveted it to the other replacement half – creating the first complete Klein pliers.

To this day, Klein Tools is proudly owned and managed by the Klein family. Over 150 years of hard work and dedication has earned Klein the reputation of supplying only the finest quality products for users of professional hand tools and occupational protective equipment..

These days, it can be hard to find companies that make products you can count on. But that’s exactly what you’ll get from Klein Tools.

They don’t just make great products, they make great products that stand up to the demands of the professionals who use them everyday. Because their standards are as high as yours, they demand that every one of their hand tools delivers all the performance, durability and precision that you need to get the job done right.

SE Capacitor Dipped Mica Capacitors are designed to meet the exacting physical, electrical and environmental requirements of the MIL-C-5 and RS-153 specifications. Why use Mica in your appplication?    It is well known that natural mica is extremely stable against heat. SE Capacitors are manufactured from selected Indian ruby muscovite mica having optimum electrical characteristics. Silvered mica is made by printing electrodes on mica film with special silver paste. The silvered films are stacked to the desired value interleaved with metal foils for contact. Then the terminals are clamped on to the element. (The terminals are copper clad steel wires finished with a solider coating for good solderability).

The clamped unit is either dipped under vacuum in epoxy resin and coated with epoxy powder conformally or dipped in phenolic resin and vacuum impregnated with liquid epoxy resin. The envelope thus formed gives high moisture and heat resistance to the unit. This design ensures high reliability and stability.

We received a letter from Techspray providing an updated status on their recent move to the new facility in Kennesaw, Georgia.  First off, they would like to extend their apologies for the “frustration and anguish due to a lack of communication” with the move.

The transfer to a new facility, combined with a SAP software conversion, led to a “tidal wave” of problems. Losing key employees, hiring, and training added to the disaster.

A problem we are all experiencing is the lack of response to shipment status questions. Finally, order acknowledgements with expected ship dates are being received and emergencies (line down, stock out for critical processes) are being taken care of quickly.  Additionally, weekly updates on back orders are being sent. New orders are being shipped in one to three weeks depending on the manufacturing schedule.  As we receive updates, we will pass along.

The shelf life of our Metallized Film AC and DC Capacitors is essentially infinite, if capacitors are stored unenergized in a non-corrosive environment and without damage at any temperature between -40C to +90C. Operating temperature is -40C to +70C.

Electrical characteristics are expected to remain stable for at least ten (10) years or longer.

Orion Fans manufactures a broad selection of AC fans, DC fans, blowers, fan trays and accessories to meet your specific application.

At the heart of the EVO 7 lies revolutionary, patent-pending Tension/Lock/Cut (TLC) technology that dramatically changes how cable ties are cut. The key is TLC’s ability to lock each tie in place at the desired tension prior to cutting. Because the tension is fixed at the trigger when squeezing begins, only a minimum of hand force and a shorter range of motion is required to cut through each tie. What’s more, there’s no jarring impact after the cut. Also, because each tie is cut at a consistent level of tension with less movement, there’s less wear on internal components, resulting in longer tool life.

With TLC Technology

• No jarring impact
• Clean, flush cut
• Minimal hand force needed
• No overstressing of cable tie

Tension

Want to select a specifi c level of tie tension for bundling? Simply rotate the tension knob to any of the easy-to-read, pre-set ension settings. Standard cable tie installation tools stretch the tie while cutting, causing the tie end to retract into the head, or leave a protruded edge. But with EVO 7, the tie is cut at precisely the tension you select for a clean, fl ush cut at the tie head – without overstressing the tie.

Lock

With TLC Technology, the patent-pending locking mechanism detects when the desired tension is met, and locks the tie in place prior to cutting. At that moment, all force applied to the trigger is directed to cutting the tie. That means the trigger only needs to be pulled far enough to cut the tie, reducing the range of motion and subsequent strain on the hand and arm.

Cut

Once the tie is locked in place, the tool operator needs only to advance the trigger enough to cut the tie. Since there is no dynamic tension (stretching) on the cable tie, all energy is focused on driving the blade through the tie, resulting in a clear, fl ush cut, time after time –  all with no jarring motion to the hand or arm.

A binding post is a versatile connector that allows a temporary or semi-permanent connection between electronic devices or circuits.

The contact surface clamp washer, against which the wire or lug is clamped by the head, is an integral part of the stud and not a force-fitted separate washer.  This avoids possible electrolytic corrosion across the mating faces due to current through the interface and subsequent increase in noise, galvanic EMF and resistance.  The cross-hole is drilled at right angles to a key-flat on the clamp washer in the screw machine, assuring absolute angular alignment of the finished post to the keyed flat in the instrument panel. Press-on base washers can have a much as five or ten degrees of angular misalignment.

The behind-panel backup insulting washer is made of solid plastic, which reduces cost and increases insulation from flashover voltage of the post.

A flat metal washer is provides as a bearing surface for the nut against the backup washer.  This washer can be used without the insulating backup washer, if it is desired, to ground the post to the panel.

The Sprague-Goodman parts are numbered by Dielectric, Form Factor, Cap Code, and Modifications. Take the example of GXA9R000, a plastic capacitor. The part number is divided into four important categories:

Dielectric:

The advantages and disadvantages of the various dielectrics are detailed above. Use the dropdown menus below to identify which part numbers signify which dielectrics.

Form Factor:

The form factor refers to the physical dimensions of the trimmer cap, as well as the placement of the adjusting screw (Top/Bottom or Side). If only a single digit is written then the capacitor has square dimensions. “8 mm” for example refers to “8x8 mm.”

Cap Code:

The cap code is a three digit number that identifies the capacitance of a capacitor. The first two digits are significant, and the third digit is the number of trailing zeroes. For example, 202 would be 2000 pF. An R indicates a decimal point, so 1R6 = 1.6 pF.

Modifications:

Various modifications that can for example, change the number or positioning of the leads. More information can be provided in the Sprague-Goodman catalogs.

Multiturn PTFE Dielectric Trimmer Capacitors

These capacitors combine the outstanding electrical properties of PTFE with nonferrous metal parts to provide high Q, high DWV, high IR, excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, high resolution, and excellent stability. They are used on industrial and commercial grade equipment.

Filmtrim Plastic Dielectric Capacitors

These capacitors are used on industrial, commercial and consumer grade equipment. These include mobile radios, transmitters, pagers, instruments, electronic games, CATV, and wireless security and fire alarms. They come in a variety of capacitance ranges, sizes, and dielectrics. There are many modifications available, and the cost for commercial/industrial application is low.

Glass PISTONCAP Precision Trimmers

Glass capacitors give very high Q and stability, and they are very resistant to external pressures such as moisture and vibration. There are three dielectrics. The standard glass is least expensive and will suit most applications. If a greater Q or higher capacitance is required, then the more expensive high-range glass would be advisable. For applications involving moderate RF currents, fused quartz is used. Quartz trimmers are about three times more expensive than standard glass trimmers. There are many possible variations on the glass trimmers, with a choice between sealed or unsealed, and a possibility of an expanded range model. Used on military and professional grade equipment.

Microwave Sapphire PISTONCAP® Trimmer Capacitors

Sapphire trimmers have very high Q at UHF and microwave frequencies, and are extremely stable over temperature, frequency, voltage, etc. They are also very small, and they can be very precisely adjusted. However, these capacitors are also very expensive. They are used on military and professional grade equipment. They are frequently used in stable oscillators, frequency multipliers, filters, tuning cavities, and coupling.

Mica Dielectric Compression Trimmer Capacitors

Mica capacitors have high Q, large capacitance ranges, and very good RF current handling capability. They are used on industrial, commercial and consumer grade equipment carrying RF power and/or requiring high capacitance. There are many forms and mounting styles available. The part numbering system differs slightly from the other trimmer capacitors in that there are five categories, with the mounting styles and size identified separately.

Ceramic Dielectric Trimmers

These capacitors are used on industrial, commercial and consumer grade equipment. While they may not be as stable or efficient as some of the other dielectrics, they are very low cost and have a wide selection of capacitance ranges.
