According to the company, preLink is equally suitable for PROFINET communication and Gigabit requirements in industrial applications. Wiring is simplified by using the preLink terminal block, which accommodates up to eight wires and is connected in a single operation involving the preLink assembly tool.
In addition to RJ45 jacks, HARTING has added an RJ45 connector in IP20 design and the Han PushPull connector for V.14 (PROFINET and AIDA compliant). The preLink RJ45 connectors in IP20 are suited for connecting field devices, such as data collection terminals, controllers and wireless access points.
The preLinkrange is supplemented by D-coded M12 connectors for Fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s) and X-coded M12 connectors for Gigabit Ethernet and 10GbE.
