Harting Americas Mating face for single pair Ethernet

The T1 Industrial connector is the standard mating face for industrial single pair Ethernet. The connector can accomplish communication across the common industrial Ethernet protocols (such as Ethernet/IP, Profinet and EtherCAT) with a single twisted pair of wires instead of four or eight wires. This connector uses 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.
