Issues when RJ45 connectors and LAN cables are used in industrial equipment

・If the claw breaks, the degree of adhesion will decrease, and the cable will come off or cause a connection failure.

・Noise that entered the cable cannot escape with only the signal line, and communication is easily affected. Therefore, it is difficult to install in a high-noise environment as a device.

・If there is no reference circuit, design man-hours such as operation verification including Ethernet PHY products will be required.

Advantages of using ix Industrial compatible connectors and cables

・The volume is reduced by 75% compared to the RJ45 connector, and the connector can be arranged at a pitch of 10 mm.

・One-touch metal lock structure improves mechanical strength

・Although a normal LAN cable is used, crosstalk is reduced by placing a GND terminal on the connector.

・As reference circuits including Ethernet PHY products are available, evaluation time can be greatly reduced.

As a connector and cable for industrial equipment, ix Industrial has the advantage of resolving the issues that have been faced up until now. From here, we will introduce how to proceed with the design smartly when introducing industrial Ethernet connectors.

Benefits of using

・Can be evaluated by connecting to FPGA and CPU evaluation boards

・Provision of reference circuit information

・Immediate start with proven combinations
