M8 D-Code Ethernet Connector

Manufacturers of industrial devices have been following the trend of miniaturization for some time now, but often they cannot make their product smaller because the required connector is too big. HARTING addresses this problem with its new M8 D-coded product. The connector offers Fast Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) via an individual miniaturized interface directly connected to the circuit board. This results in big space savings for the end device.

Benefits

• 30% smaller than conventional M12 connectors
• 100 Mbit/s Cat. 5 Fast Ethernet IEEE 802.3
• Robust design per IP67
• Shielded solution
• PoE capable
• Supports PROFINET

PoE-Capable

In order to avoid taking up further space with additional power interfaces, the M8 is PoE-capable in D-coding and can simultaneously supply data and power to field participants.

IP67 Rating for Harsh Environments

The M8 D-Code is IP67 protected making it suitable for harsh environments. In addition, standardization to PAS IEC 61076-2-114 also makes it a safe investment, as it can be combined with the connectors and sockets of various manufacturers. This means that all users can benefit from a smaller but reliable interface for miniaturization.
