Particularly harsh environmental conditions often demand special fixing components for electronics mounting systems. Now Schroff has added products of this type from its sister companies Birtcher and Calmark, both also members of the Pentair Technical Products Group, to its standard product range. I...

With the Sony/Philips Digital Interface (S/PDIF) protocol that was developed jointly by those two companies as an interface for audio data, it is possible to transmit digital audio signals nearly without data loss. Data transmission can be accomplished either electrically using a coaxial cable or op...
