Critical and practical instruction labels on electric and electronic de- vices are important for safety, compliance and ease of use. Brady Corporation offers a complete range of reliable labels that can be designed with the highest flexibility and printed with advanced technologies. Great flexibility More information can be placed on labels for de- vices thanks to extremely accurate printing that allows more special characters, symbols, signs, logos and letters from every alphabet to remain clearly legible in small fonts. This enables increased flexibil- ity in label content and helps companies to better support custom- ers with safety instructions, compliance information and branding by adding a company logo. Brady also offers specialised artwork support to help design labels for maximum impact and clarity. Labels can be offered fully printed and ready to be applied either manually or with a label feeder and existing pick & place machinery in automated production lines. Labels can also be partially pre-print- ed and completed at device production sites with batch codes, production dates or other information using a Brady printer. In au- tomated production this can be done with the BSP61 Print & Apply System, or with the BradyPrinter i7100 Industrial Label Printer and ALF14 Label Feeder.

Cable seals for for hygienic and wet areas A special challenge is the reliable and permanent sealing of the cable. With this innovative and patented technolo- gy, strain relief and cable seal are strict- ly separated from each other, the strain relief being guaranteed by means of an extremely strong three-way ball clamp that reliably clamps the cable elastic cable seal is po- sitioned right at the ca- ble entry so as to pre- vent any contamination due to penetration of dirt. The highly elastic ma- terial prevents cable sheath deformation and reliably seals even in case of intense cable movement. Simple and safe mounting These connectors also feature the per- fectly tried-and-tested ecolink technol- ogy that allows for reliable and manual M12 connection to the device without use of tools.

First-rate multimedia cables Legrand’s extensive range of cable and cable accessories encompasses multimedia ca- bles, which are designed to fit easily into work areas and in spaces where technology-us- ers need access to power and data connections. These cables are compatible with most desktop PC’s, laptops, monitors, scanners and printers, as well as gaming consoles and audio and video equipment. According to Legrand SA, HDMI ® is the most popular audio/visual connection for mod- ern-day consumer electronics. The HDMI signal, which is the digital replacement for analogue video standards, carries digital audio and visual resolutions up to 4 k supporting Ultra HD. DVI products - cables, adapters, extenders and splitters - send high definition 1080p video, from a DVI enabled device to a display. Cat6 patch cables are used for Ethernet connections. In addition, couplers and cable management products are available from Legrand for extending the signal and organising a network. DisplayPorts are designed for connecting high definition digital audio/video devices to displays. The company also offers solutions for both analogue and digital audio/video signal. Legrand multimedia cables also include connectors for audio, video and pc devices and data networks. Audio connectors allow for both analogue and digital signals, whilst video connectors are the perfect solution for adding, duplicating or extending a video device. PC connectors make sure a device stays powered and connected to other devices. These connectors adapt with older technology, ensuring all devices work flawlessly. Data connectors are used for Ethernet and Gigabit networks that require fast bandwidth inten- sive data or for video distribution applications. Legrand’s comprehensive range of products and systems for electrical and digital building infrastructures has been designed for easy installation, high efficiency, optimum safety and enhanced aesthetics -- whether it is an original installation, extension or re- configuration.
