HARTING’sT1 connector can accomplish communication across the common industrial Ethernet protocols (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, and others) with a single twisted pair of wires instead of four or eight wires. This connector utilizes power-over-data-line (PoDL) technology to bring communication, voltage, and amperage needed to power the device.
With this connector, the number of connections on the device is reduced, eliminating the need for an external power supply, and the devices on the plant floor that traditionally communicate over Fieldbus protocols can join the same IP-based network as the other devices. This enables peer-to-peer communication, open-loop feedback of all devices, and smart functionality from the main control room to the device.
The T1 is the standard mating face for industrial single-pair Ethernet. The product ranges from IP20 to IP67 and is available in metric variants including M8 and M12. To be truly standard for industrial applications, the mating interface is designed to be the same and interoperable across all IP ratings.
Features Standardized mating face according to IEC 63171-6 (formerly IEC 61076-3-125) For the construction of future-proof and standardized SPE communication networks with standardized cabling according to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA 42 Meets IEEE 802.3 requirements for SPE Robust industrial design with locking lever protection, 360° shielding, and high mating cycles Applications Industrial applications up to M3I3C3E3environmental conditions Remote power supplies for PoDL classes
