- 1,000 test and measurement products that allow users to simulate input signals in the system or device under test for troubleshooting or validation purposes (e.g., to trace faults or verify safe and effective performance), ranging from thermometers, signal generators, and thermal imagers to datalogging and acquisition devices, oscilloscopes, inspection scopes, and a variety of meters.
- 300 proximity sensors capable of reliably detecting the presence of objects from both long and short distances much more quickly than contact sensors can using capacitive, inductive, magnetic, or ultrasonic technologies.
- 200 axial fans essential to moving the large volumes of air required to effectively cool and ensure the safe and reliable long-lifetime performance of electronic equipment, industrial systems, and equipment rooms.
- 10 ethernet switches indispensable for connecting cabled devices, such as computers, Wi-Fi access points, and IoT devices, to servers and establishing the network infrastructure that connected facilities rely on.
