Data forwarding on trains is growing steadily, especially in entertainment systems. Harting will be presenting an enhanced new line-up of the M12 for robust Ethernet cabling on-board trains at the next Innotrans trade fair this September 20-23, 2016 (Hall 12, Stand 203) in Berlin. The M12 was formerly traditionally a connector with screw locking. Harting’s PushPull locking mechanism opened up completely new perspectives for the M12. Proper connection no longer requires the use of tools, nor is there any need to observe tightening torques to ensure proper connection. A clearly audible click-signals that a proper and secure connection has been made. The space requirement is reduced considerably as well, since the connector no longer needs to be screwed in, but merely attached – with the result that the working space for connecting tools is completely eliminated.
Previously, the space-saving system in the Slim Design was only available in one housing shape and three encodings. Now, just in time for the upcoming InnoTrans trade fair this September 20-23 in Berlin, Harting Technology Group is offering the railway market the M12 PushPull in new housing shapes and encodings.
Signals, lower-voltage power supply and Ethernet up to 10G can now be routed safely through A-D or X-coding in male or female variants on board trains. These make the ever-growing offering of entertainment systems for passenger transport possible by employing cutting-edge data transfer rates and the matching infrastructure, i.e. cables and connectors.
