Harting har-speed M12

With har-speed M12 HARTING bases the Ethernet network on a sustainable M12 foundation. The har-speed M12 differs significantly from today's M12 connectors for Ethernet because it is based on a 4-pair connector face with paired shielding. This allows har-speed M12 to be used for Ethernet transfer rates up to 10 Gigabit. The new HARTING har-speed M12 connector is, therefore, capable of complying with the high requirements of the transfer class EA, respectively the Cat. 6A. For the first time an M12 cabling system can be used for relevantly high data performance and permanent sustainability. The har-speed M12 connectors can be optimally used for applications with bandwidths in machine and facility engineering, but also for the IP 67 infrastructure. The basis for the new development is the new PAS 61076-2-10x that defines a uniform connector face for 8-pole M12 connectors.
