Modern industrial and building wiring envisions linking the office network with the manufacturing network andits subordinate production cells and machinery. The applicable standard for this, ISO/IEC 24702 resp. EN 50173-1 and -3, are intended for situations with a high level of bidirectional traffic between the administration and manufacturing areas whereby realtime transmissions with high security, 100% availability and simultaneous high investment security must all be guaranteed. The increasing interconnection of machinery, equipment and measuring instruments in the production area using connectors already known from office wiring applications demands that these be adapted to the higher stresses presented by the contamination-prone, rough industrial environment. Aside from a variety of RJ45, IP67 M12 D- and X-coded connectors, Telegärtner therefore also offers designs for connecting glass and polymer fibres in order to meet this challenge. Connectors for modern industrial applications need to be designed in such a way that they simplify processes and cope with faster data transmission. Telegärtner recommends the connectors of Variant 6 for genericcabling of factory automation machinery (Automation Island, ODVA) acc. IEC 61918 and fieldbus installation acc. to IEC 61784-5 in a robust plastic design. The connectors of Variant 6 are standardized in the IEC 61076-3-106, designed to meet the demands of harsh industrial environments, guaranteeing protection class IP67 when mated. The locking clasps allow easy, tool-less opening as well as a secure locking with protection class IP67. The RJ45 plug and bulkhead inserts stand out due to high power reserves and offer transmission characteristics of Class EA(IEC) acc. to ISO/IEC11801.
