Gigabit connector module supports Ethernet transfer rates in rail applications
16/06/2011 HARTING Ltd
The HARTING Gigabit module - one of the the range of inserts available for the company's Han-Modular® industrial connector system - offers Ethernet performance at up to 10 Gbit/s. The new fully shielded module meets Cat 5, Cat 6 and Cat 7 requirements, and is optimised for use in rail applications.The module is designed for use with stranded wire of 0.08-0.5 mm2 cross-section and cable diameters in the 5-12 mm range. It contains eight easily accessible crimp contacts (four data pairs) for 0.08-0.5 mm² or AWG 28-20 wire, and every data pair has separate shielding. Larger diameter cable can be clamped using a HARTING InduCom crimp or screw-type flange.
The mechanical characteristics are the same as for the proven Han® Quintax connector, making it ideally suited to applications with very demanding mechanical requirements including connections between rail vehicles.
The Han-Modular® series is a highly versatile, open connector system that allows users to configure connectors to match the needs of particular applications. The new Han® GigaBit module supplements the 30 existing modules for handling electrical, optical and pneumatic signals.
