Industrial Communication Solutions for Reliable Network Performance

Creating and maintaining reliable and secure network infrastructure in harsh industrial environments requires rugged, high-quality and high-performance components. Molex industrial connectivity solutions help enable dependable transmission of data from the field to the control level, support multiple fieldbus communication protocols and enable greater automation through the integration of protocols with devices.

Network Interface Cards

DeviceNet Network Interface Cards (NICs) enable connections between industrial devices and networks using industrial protocols. Robust hardware and easy-to-use software help streamline installation while enhancing overall network efficiency and system performance.
