TRUE OUTDOOR PROTECTION

TRUE OUTDOOR PROTECTION

The highly innovative entertainment industry is permanently evolving accompanied by increasing demands on interconnection systems. Particularly environmentally sealed connectors are highly requested for heavy-duty and harsh environment applications of entertainment equipment like PA systems, signs and LED screens or lightings.

Neutrik took up the challenge and developed a new line of TRUE OUTDOOR PROTECTION (TOP) products for demanding outdoor applications. This new range includes the popular powerCON TRUE1, etherCON and XLR series. These ruggedized sealed connectors feature not only IP protection but also UV resistance approved according to UL50E.

GLOBAL ENCLOSURE STANDARDS

For safety reasons, connectors have to be protected from outside influences like dust, foreign objects, moisture, water and sunlight. The most common and globally recognized standards for outdoor applications are IEC 60529 with the IPxx ingress protection levels and the UL50E / NEMA 250 enclosure type rating. Although these standards have the same goal to identify an enclosure capacity to withstand environmental influences, they differ in their definition, testing and pass criteria. The UL50E standard requires an UV test for thermoplastic materials which does not form part of the IP test. Neutrik have ensured that the new TOP range of products met both internationally recognized standards.

To ease equipment qualification Neutrik designed and qualified their TOP line to the connector standards IEC 61076-2-103, IEC 60320-1, UL 1977, UL 498. But in addition Neutrik took into account the special requirements for wet locations and outdoor applications and qualified the TOP line also according UL50E.
