At IBC Lemo demonstrated the quality and the robustness of their custom wire and cable solutions with a robot. The robot was bending a cable over the duration of the IBC, however the cable was showing no impact at all.
Also on Show was the new Lemo connector called Halo LED, which is part of a new range called IAC™ (Intelligent Active Connector).

The connector includes a circular array of LED positioned on the connector flange. These LEDs can be either white, red, green or blue. The equipment designer can also, according to his needs, display two different colours consecutively (green/red for instance), allowing the equipment to display a connector status for diagnostics.
As part of the IAC™ (Intelligent Active Connector) program, additional features, such as unique connector identification can be available. In this case, the connector pair will use an electronic chip that can offer identification, counting, safety and security options.
