preLink® offers a robust and installer-friendly connection technology that is equally suitable for PROFINET communication and Gigabit requirements in industrial applications. Wiring is greatly 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. This simple and very fast installation process is identical for all preLink® products.
Feedback from the assembly tool confirms to the installer that assembly has been properly performed – making the preLink® installation process error-free.
In addition to the existing preLink® RJ45 jacks, HARTING has added the preLink® RJ45 connector in IP20 design and the Han PushPull® connector for V.14 (PROFINET and AIDA compliant). The preLink® RJ45 connectors in IP20 are exceptionally well suited for connections from field devices such as data-collection terminals, controllers and wireless access points.
The preLink® range is supplemented by D-coded M12 connectors for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and X-coded M12 connectors for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gbit/s.
