RJ Industrial MultiFeature connectors
New Industrial Ethernet connector from HARTING facilitates access to the IIoT. Faster assembly saves users valuable time.
The RJ Industrial MultiFeature is a significantly improved version of the classic RJ45 in terms of handling. Thanks to a robust metal housing and integrated knives that automatically shorten the strands to the correct length during assembly, handling is greatly simplified. Shorter assembly time saves valuable time in system installation. Consequently, the most frequently deployed data interface has been further optimized for use in industrial environments.
Targeting designers of miniaturized devices, HARTING will be showing all the innovations and portfolio extensions revolving around the space-saving ix Industrial Ethernet interface. The interface is 70% smaller in size, offering Gbit Ethernet with a more compact footprint while increasing stability at the same time. Standardized in IEC 61076-3-124, ix Industrial represents the future standard for 8-wire Gbit Ethernet in automation scenarios.
In traditional RJ 45 solutions for industrial networks, the time for confection is 50% for preparation of the cable and 50% for connecting. With the new RJ Industrial Multifeature, users get a robust and reliable connector with integrated cutting tools for fast and easy assembly. A time saving of about 25% in the assembly is possible.
This completely dispenses with this time-consuming step and the entire assembly is more than 25% quicker. There is no longer a need to shorten the individual wires 8 times using the wire cutter and the quality of the connection process is also improved. The wires are always safely shortened in the same place in each connector and this also ensures that the HF performance of all assemblies is identical.
