• Leading-edge,standards-basedproducts for optimalsignal performancewhen and whereyou need it

Belden-Hirschmann substation hardened products are designed to meet the mission–critical needsof the power transmission and distribution industry.

Scheduling power output from generating plants used to be relatively easy with little need for real-time information. Today, Independent Power Producers (IPPs) need to run their facilities at maximumefficiency to lower generation costs and increase profits. However, `green´ energy sources, generatepower in a somewhat unpredictable fashion, upsetting the balance of power supplied to the grid.These factors, along with an increased interest in efficient energy usage overall, have necessitated theutilities’ need to continually adjust generation, demand or both – all on a real-time basis.A smarter grid that enables two-way communication is required to make this a reality.

Belden Ensures Reliable Data Flow

To meet the need for a high speed, seamlessdata flow and the accurate monitoring andcontrol of power flowing in and out of the grid,Belden provides field proven, leading-edgeproducts for the EMI-stressed substationenvironment:

• HirschmannTM Ethernet switches, security/firewall devices and networking software

• Hirschmann wireless LAN(WLAN) systems

• Hirschmann factory terminated fiber opticand unshielded twisted pair (UTP) media

• Belden TrayOptic® fiber optic cablesand connectivity
