The RJ45 and M12 d- or x-coded overmolded patch cables product range from Helukabel has been enlarged with ix Industrial acc. IEC 61076-3-124 standard.

ix Industrial is key to the miniaturization of devices such as cameras or computers. The secret lies on the socket side which is on the circuit board. Compared to a classic RJ45 socket, a socket with the new mating face offers up to 70% space saving compared to other alternatives.

With this new mating interface, three different codings allow for efficient Ethernet and bus transmission or signal cable interconnection.

• A-code for Ethernet/Profinet transmission
• B-code for signal or bus transmission
• C-code for Ethernet

Thanks to the double locking of the ix Industrial connector, there is an enhanced protection from vibrations compared to conventional RJ45 connectors. Vibration which has until now been a problem can now be a thing of the past.

Furthermore, the 10-pin assignment option means that the connector has a promising future in terms of hybrid cables. For example, 2- or 4-pair Ethernet cables can be expanded with two power supply wires and connected with only one connector.

If a customer cannot use pre-assembled cables due to issues with spacing, there is, of course, the option to purchase cables and plugs / sockets from Helukabel as individual parts and to install these in the field to create effective solutions.
