HARTING at InnoTrans 2018
Increased data transmission
Space is scarce in rail vehicles. HARTING plug & play connectors for the transmission of data, power and signals occupy only limited space.
The amount of data communication required in rail vehicles is increasing. Passengers want to keep in touch with their families, friends and colleagues by using Wi-Fi. At the same time, passenger information systems (PIS) provide data about the route, the weather and offer news, entertainment or advertisements.
High-speed data transmission in the smallest of space
In order to make trains future-proof in terms of communication technology, railway operators have opted for Cat. 7A as the future transmission standard for their vehicles. Compared to its predecessor, this category permits a transmission in a higher frequency range.
With the Han® Gigabit module, HARTING has introduced the first modular connector designed for a Cat. 7A transmission category, providing in parallel a 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth. Han-Modular®, in conjunction with the Han® Gigabit module, therefore offers high-speed data transmission in the smallest of space.
A typical application combines the Gigabit interface with jumper and patch cables, including appropriate sub-distribution connections. Switches and switch patch panels are the perfect complement for efficient data distribution in the car. For the connection of the WLAN equipment, suitable x-coded M12 circular connectors from HARTING completes the cable assembly.
Particularly robust for rolling stock
With M12 PushPull, railway manufacturers get a fast connectable interface for high data rates. The circular connector with the robust crimp flange is especially suitable for use in trains. High pull-out forces and a particularly good shielding transfer take into account the high demands of rolling stock.
The train as a mobile workstation
With the preLink® system and EtherRail® cables, which are specially designed for railway requirements, data networks in trains and buses can be securely built and made future-proof. The small size of the preLink® contact block makes it possible to pre-fabricate data cables outside the carriage and then install them. After the cables
have been laid, the appropriate connector is assembled, depending on the network device to be connected.
