Meet the ix Industrial®
The HARTING ix Industrial® is our answer to the future challenges posed by industry 4.0 and the IIoT. Device interfaces and system cable must be smaller, more powerful and yet robust.
Cat. 6A performance means the ix Industrial® mating face is engineered future-proof for 1/10 Gbit/s Ethernet, while its high current-carrying capacity enables current and future PoE applications. This interface consequently combines data transmission and power supply in a single interface, thereby additionally reducing the installation space required for termination technology in your applications. For example saving as much as 70% pcb real-estate area over existing RJ45 style Ethernet connectors!
The ix Industrial® connector is our clear commitment to miniaturisation. It sets a new standard for robustness and performance in ethernet interfaces. With IP20 rating, the ix Industrial is standardised to IEC/PAS 610-76-3-124.

Ethernet FAQ's
What is the difference between Ethernet and industrial ethernet?
Industrial Ethernet (IE) is the use of Ethernet in an industrial environment with protocols that provide determinism and real-time control.
What is an industrial ethernet switch?
An Industrial Ethernet Switch is an Ethernet switch device used in industrial control and will withstand harsh environments.
Is EtherCAT the same as ethernet?
No
Like EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT is built on the Ethernet physical layer. But instead of using TCP/IP for transport and routing of messages, EtherCAT uses a “processing-on-the-fly” (also referred to as “communicating-on-the-fly”) approach.
EtherCAT messages are passed to the next node in the ring before being processed by that node, providing the network with blazing speed and efficiency. It also means that EtherCAT can offer flexibility in topology and incredible synchronisation.
What is the difference between Profinet and Ethernet
Profinet is an open Ethernet standard designed to be “real-time Ethernet.” It has two models: The component model or Profinet CBA, and the peripherals model or Profinet IO. The transmission times of the two models are different.
Can profinet use Ethernet cable?
Ethernet is based on 8 wire cable but Profinet has 4 wires.
