We have moved

arnotec GmbH has moved! Since mid-September the supplier for the electrical industry has been in its new premises in Grünhutstraße 7 in Karlsruhe-Knielingen.

For years, arnotec, whose brands also include koax24, has been experiencing steady growth – also in terms of the number of employees. For this very reason, we reached our limits with the capacity of the former offices and production hall. A move became unavoidable and in mid-September the time had finally come: after the production had already moved into the new hall, the administration also moved into the new offices.

The move to our …

IP protection types for coaxial connectors

What are IP protection types?

The abbreviation IP stands for International Protection or also Ingress Protection (protection from intrusion). In our case, the protection class for coaxial connectors provides information about their suitability for certain environmental conditions. This classification clearly clarifies whether a connector is suitable for outdoor use, for example, or whether it could be damaged by penetrating moisture. Incidentally, similar requirements for cables are explained in the article “Jacket materials for coaxial cables”. The individual protection classes are defined within Germany according to DIN and internationally according to ISO.

How is the IP code composed?

Chemical resistance of coaxial cables

It is not uncommon for a coaxial cable to be exposed to substances that can possibly impair its effect. In this case, it is useful to know the chemical resistance of the material in order to select the right cable for your application in advance. As you can see from the table below, in addition to the sheath material of the cable, the temperature of your application is also crucial. This is due to the fact that the structure of plastics changes at different temperatures. The most common plastics of our cable sheaths are considered here: PVC and PE. You …

Prices and delivery times

In the meantime, the general trend of cost development has also reached us. Despite the current situation, however, you can be sure that arnotec GmbH is taking all measures to delay passing on increased costs for purchased parts for as long as possible. Nevertheless, the constantly rising prices for energy, transport and materials present us with a challenge, even though our efforts to date have been sufficient to keep our prices largely constant.

Nevertheless, we reserve the right to renegotiate the sales price with you should our sources of supply increase their prices by more than 5%.

Express production of cable assemblies

Short-term, critical requirements cannot always be foreseen and planned for accordingly. Knowing this, we offer express production of cable assemblies in various gradations. If our standard production time of 5-7 working days is not sufficient to meet your requirements on time, production can also be carried out in a shorter time for an additional charge, so that the ordered items can be delivered on the next working day if the order is received on time. For particularly critical needs, we recommend combining this with express delivery from UPS.

Alternatives for coaxial connectores

Unfortunately, due to the current situation on the world market, delivery bottlenecks occur time and again. Coaxial connectors are not exempt from this, but often this is only due to the smallest components, which can delay delivery by months under certain circumstances. Therefore, it is generally advantageous to be able to switch to connectors from alternative manufacturers.
