“Our connectors will be used in backbone communication structures with high data rates as well as in passenger infotainment systems,” predicted product manager Dieter Sandula. In rail and transport applications, “mechanical robustness and fire safety of materials are particularly significant challenges. Binder addresses these by using new materials [and] adapted manufacturing processes. These materials have been selected based on the criteria of EN 45545-2”.
There are four cables, all with eight conductors. There are three with female connectors on both ends, with lenghts of 2, 5 or 10m, and then a 10m option with a make on one end and a female on the other.
The company Cat6A data transmission will not be affected by “extreme conditions such as strong vibrations and shock loads” – although the data sheet does not specify vibration or shock specifications.
Picking the 10m female to female, its part number is 77 4506 4506 90708-1000 and, like the other assemblies, it uses 8.1mm diameter blue cable and will work across -40 to +85°C.
The sheath material is flame resistant to IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-25 cat D.
At the ends, the connectors arerated for at least 100 connect-disconnect cycles in the un-powered state, and a screw-thread holds the connector in its mated state where sealing is to IP67. “When used outdoors, the plug connectors must be protected separately against corrosion,” said Binder.
It can handle 50Vac, 60Vdc, 800V impulses and 500mA.
Overall, the assembly is rated to DIN EN 61373.
Applications are foreseen in Ethernet-infrastructures and camera connections.
