5G networks represent a genuine revolution in mobile connectivity: lightning-fast connection speeds, lower latency, and greater device capacity that empower consumers and businesses alike. 5G is only as reliable as the components and systems that power it. binder‘s M16 connectors are the perfect fit as they are AISG compliant with an 8-pin DIN variant that supports all wireless networks.

M12 connectors are a key component for industrial edge applications. They are used to connect industrial internet of things (IIoT) sensors, controllers, and wireless access points.

M12 X-coded connectors: Also known as M12-X connectors, these are designed to provide high-speed Industrial Ethernet connectivity up to 10 Gbit/s. Their robust construction ensures a secure connection, making them ideal for the data-intensive applications associated with 5G edge networks.

M12 L-coded connectors: This product line is used for power distribution and is compatible with the PROFINET industrial Ethernet standard. L-coded M12 connectors are designed for durability and provide a reliable power connection for industrial automation systems at the network edge.

M12 Hybrid connectors: These provide a "one cable solution" by integrating power and data transmission into a single robust interface. This simplifies cabling and improves reliability for edge devices that require both power and high-speed data.

Field power supplies (FIEPOS): For decentralized applications, PULS offers field power supplies with high ingress protection (IP54 to IP67). 

Applications: Perfect for edge computing infrastructure deployed outside a climate-controlled cabinet, such as small cells or 5G repeaters.

Features: These power supplies are easy to install, resistant to dust and water, and provide a decentralized power solution closer to the end device. 

These are a core offering from PULS. Their high efficiency (often over 95%) and convection cooling are ideal for 5G applications where heat generation and space are major considerations. 

Compact size: 5G networks and edge computing nodes often require compact equipment for deployment in small spaces, like cabinets or pole mounts. PULS's emphasis on high power density addresses this constraint directly.

High efficiency: The high efficiency of PULS power supplies reduces energy costs and minimizes heat generation, a critical factor for densely packed equipment.

High reliability and robust design: PULS designs its products for long-term use in demanding environments, including robust construction and wide operating temperature ranges.

System availability: The use of supplementary units like DC-UPS and redundancy modules is crucial for ensuring the uptime of always-on 5G and edge networks.

Sustainability: PULS designs its products to be recyclable and energy efficient, addressing the sustainability goals of many technology providers. 

PULS supports its customers with a growing line-up of power supplies with communication interface allowing for smart monitoring and optimization.

The devices provide direct access to a large range of highly informative data-sets that help to monitor, analyze and optimize the complete power supply concept of any machinery – from the quality of the power grid, to the AC input and the DC output as well as the DC distribution.

Benefits: Real-time alerts on power status, energy consumption monitoring for cost savings, and preventative maintenance to avoid costly downtime.

Application: Enables smarter management of edge computing nodes and 5G network equipment.
