Eaton CEAG eXlink Hazardous Area Ethernet/USB Hot Swap Connectors
Crouse-Hinds series CEAG eXlink connectors are used for plug-in connection in industrial LAN/Ethernet and USB applications for hot swapping (connecting and disconnecting) equipment in Zones 1 and 2 hazardous areas.
The normally used electrical isolation of an intrinsically safe interface is no longer necessary with the CEAG eXlink. The Ex-de technology of the connectors allows for the use of full industrial Ethernet power without barriers, increasing the efficiency of the bus architecture and reducing the susceptibility to faults.
