HARTING Ha-VIS preLink ethernet connector system

RS Components is now stocking of a wide range of products based on Ha-VIS preLink technology from HARTING. The highly innovative cabling system offers reliable termination technology, a simple and time-saving installation process and the potential to revolutionise the installation of cables for industrial networking, premises cabling and other machine-control applications.

Compatible with a range of profiles, including all ethernet-based automation profiles and futureproof 8-core cabling for Gigabit Ethernet, the HARTING Ha-VIS preLink is a modular connector system that uses a rapid termination technique allowing users to either preassemble cables or to buy already prepared cables and install them quickly and simply on-site. Allowing much preparatory work to be completed in advance, making the job quicker and more efficient, the connector system also has the potential to reduce the equipment, training and testing burden on installers, making it an attractive alternative to traditional termination methods.

The system is based on the simplicity of a termination block that a user can wire up separately: the system snaps securely into any one of seven swappable mating profiles. These include RJ45, PushPull RJ45, M12 D-coded, M12 X-coded, RJ45 HARTING Industrial Form Factor, RJ45 Keystone and a preLink extender for cable extensions. When snapped into place in the connector, the wired termination block becomes an integral part of that unit and not a separate interface. Once in the housing, the preLink termination block is vibration-proof and protected from external influences.
