The ix Industrial not only takes up 70% less space compared to the standard RJ45, but is also much more robust. With up to 5000 mating cycles and Cat. 6A performance for 1/10 Gbit/s Ethernet, it establishes a benchmark for modularization and digitization. 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. The ix Industrial consequently combines data transmission and power supply in a single interface, thereby additionally reducing the installation space required for termination technology in applications.
