Datasheet

The Transcend Network Connected Lighting System from Molex is available at Mouser Electronics. The Molex Transcend system provides designers a complete management system to accelerate deployment of smart LED lighting control using highly secure network architectures in commercial buildings, educational facilities, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing and warehouse facilities.

It is an intelligent, low-voltage, and low-energy system that powers and controls building objects using Transcend’s Manager Software and components.

The Internet of Things (IoT) system uses a broad array of intelligent components to feed multi-sensor information and data to a central host, such as real-time energy consumption, light status, temperature and humidity, air quality, occupancy and more.

The system components include smart LED drivers, LED cable harnesses, Power over Ethernet (PoE) gateways and a range of wireless components, including sensors, dimmers, switches and zone controllers. Transcend Smart LED Drivers are compact, DC/DC LED components that drive LED engines.

Powered and controlled by a Transcend PoE Gateway, these devices feature integrated power monitoring that allow control of up to eight devices per gateway, as well as dual input/output connectors for daisy-chaining.

To connect the PoE Gateways to the Transcend Smart LED drivers, the system offers Transcend LED Cable Harnesses, which incorporate a Micro-Fit 3.0 Connector System and provide low-voltage power distribution and data communication between the components.

Completing the Transcend solution and helping to communicate with the wireless gateways is a series of Transcend Wireless Components that include wireless switchers and dimmers that use energy-harvesting technology, LED relay zone controllers, and solar-powered wireless occupancy and ambient light sensors.
