Ethernet hub for Powerlink applications
The HARTING EHB 67-10 TP05 Ethernet Hub is designed for use in industrial network configurations such as Ethernet Powerlink systems where Ethernet switches are not essential.
The new product makes the installation of multiple 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports in the industrial environment fast and simple by facilitating any kind of network configuration.
It allows up to five items of user equipment to be connected through shielded twisted-pair cable in accordance with IEC 802.3. All connections are plugged, making assembly and disassembly fast and reliable. Depending on the application requirements, the user can choose between RJ45 and M12 D-coded interfaces.
The robust metal housing is protected to IP65/67, and exhibits a high degree of EMI protection, temperature tolerance and mechanical stability. All Ethernet interfaces are also protected against overvoltage.
Various mounting options allow the EHB 67-10 TP05 to be mounted directly on a machine or in a production plant - wherever the additional ports may be required for linking or temporary diagnostics.
