ERNI – Enhanced gigabit Ethernet connector facilitates 10GbE applications

ERNI Electronics has added an enhanced Gigabit Ethernet connector to its M12 connector product portfolio, which helps 10GbE applications. The M12 X-Code connector provides reliable high-speed data transmission and is designed for reliable and rugged industrial data communication applications. The connector uses an 8-pin design and is compatible with RJ45 network cables. The interface is X-coded according to IEC 61076-2-109. Support EMC characteristics through 360 ° shielding and higher effectiveness, and supplement by shielding PCB and panel conductors. To comply with IEEE requirements, the new Gigabit Ethernet connector can withstand a test voltage of at least 1.5kVAC. In addition, their clearance and creepage distance are at least 1.6mm. The PCB female connector and screw locking (panel mount) coupler form a two-part rugged I / O system with a space-saving mature SMT termination design. It is provided in the form of reel packaging, with suction foil that can be automatically assembled. Other features include IP65 / 67 protection and corresponding cable connectors, and a wide temperature range of -55C to + 125C. "The M12 Gigabit Ethernet connector combines reliable high-speed data transmission with rugged connectivity. The M12 X-Code connector is ideal for industrial environments and is designed to solve signal / noise interference while supporting reliability and continuous improvement. Data transmission rate, "said Kevin N. Oursler, Director of Sales and Marketing. Applications include, but are not limited to, connection of IP cameras, public transportation and railway infrastructure, broadcasting systems, industrial machinery and process equipment, automated packaging and encoder solutions. The company said that the future-oriented high bandwidth of the connector allows users to benefit from the maximum investment security, more efficient network utilization and real-time functions in the next five to ten years.
