INDUSTRY 4.0 Industrial Ethernet Connectors

SPECIALIST FOR CIRCULAR CONNECTORS INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET CONNECTORS The robust, industrial-grade interconnection of field devices – via network cables and connectors – is the backbone of smart and sustainable production. In the context of Industry 4.0, Industrial Ethernet enables fast, reliable, and deterministic real-time data transmission between sensors, actuators, and other automation components. EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET protocols are typically used. Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) creates, with reduced effort, seamless TCP/IP data communication from the field level via the the control...

The industrial-network connectors of the smaller M8 size require up to 30 percent less space than M12 connectors - and are therefore suitable for particularly space-critical installations. They enable secure data transmission with communication protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, or PROFINET. With Category-5 cables, the M8 circular connectors achieve data rates of up to 100 Mbit/s. binder's D-coded M8 hybrid connectors are recommended for future-proof Industrial-Ethernet installations. In addition to data communication, they provide power supply in accordance with the IEEE 802.3at standard...

RJ45 connectors (Registered Jack No. 45) are specialized for data transmission in networks via so-called patch cables with twisted wire pairs. The pin assignment of the four- or eight-pin connectors is compliant with the EIA/TIA568A and EIA/TIA568B standards. Typical use is with industrial routers, switches and access points; applications include in particular condition monitoring on machinery and equipment, as well as building technology. ■ IDT termination or penetration technology, snap-in locking ■ Protection degree: IP20 (mated) ■ Data transmission in Gigabit Ethernet with CAT-6A cables

X-coded M16 connectors extend binder's robust Industrial Ethernet portfolio to high data rates. Designed for harsh industrial environments and protected up to IP67 when mated, they support data rates up to 10 Gbit/s in Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and PoE applications. The M16-X product line is equipped with IDT termination and - with regard to the application conditions in factory and process automation - with reliable screw locking according to DIN EN 61076-2106. ■ IDT termination and screw locking in accordance with DIN EN 61076-2-106 ■ Protection degree IP67 (mated) ■ Field-attachable and panel...

WHAT DISTINGUISHES INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET FROM COMMERCIAL ETHERNET? Commercial (standard) Ethernet was developed for high-speed data transmission. It has become widely accepted because it is simple, efficient and flexible. Its success and widespread use in non-industrial applications, such as office environments, is due not least to its comparatively low implementation costs. However, standard Ethernet is not deterministic – it does not allow realtime data communication, as many automation applications require. Industrial Ethernet addresses this problem.

Factory and process automation applications require rugged connectors and cables that can withstand harsh conditions. Industrial Ethernet connectors and cables, depending on their protection degree, are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, electromagnetic interference, humidity, liquids and vibration. The wiring must be protected by means of shielding and jacketing. Robust locking and careful shielding, grounding, and filtering are required, as well as IP67 protection. 100 Mbit/s is the usual data rate in Industrial Ethernet - only a fraction of the gigabit speed commonly used in...
