ix Industrial

With the ix Industrial®, HARTING have slashed the PCB jack size by a substantial 70%, enabling manufacturers to use it in much smaller devices.

Despite its compact dimensions, the ix Industrial® still produces Cat. 6A performance for 1/10Gbit/s Ethernet at a control level, whilst its high current-carrying capacity supports both existing and future Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

In addition, it combines both data transmission and power supply into a single interface, further reducing the area required for connectors within devices.

As well as significant space savings, the ix Industrial® has been specifically designed and built to withstand the rigours of industrial environments.

To ensure a strong connection, the socket and connector are securely locked together by two metal snap-in hooks, ensuring a robust and vibration-proof connection from the cable to the circuit board for up to 5000 mating cycles.

When it comes to standardisation, the interface complies with IEC 61076-3-124 and conforms to the shock and vibration resistance levels set out in EN 50155 railway specifications, making it the perfect solution for a range of markets and sectors.
