Products that allow Ethernet to be used in harsh and rugged environments.

1. Device Connection Systems
for Industrial Ethernet

2. Ideal solutions for any network
With its product and product mix policy METZ CONNECT provides consistent systems for a safe and trouble-free
data flow - from the pc board to plugs, cables and patch panels up to the infrastructural environment - and that
in the market segments industrial electronics, data and communication technology and building automation. So,
METZ CONNECT guarantees an integrated and transparent communication in all fields of application - without
system discontinuities and performance losses.
In addition METZ CONNECT offers cross range system solutions. We provide device connection systems perfectly
combining components of the three product ranges to connect pc boards to cabling in a rapid, secure and flexible
way.

3. Sensors that connect to the “big, wide world”
The global success story of intelligent networks in automation has its origin in the desire for integrated
communication. Prerequisite for transparent, efficient and customized use and control are integrated, internationally
standardized network components. Whereas in the past cabling and connection systems were specific to the respec-
tive application, today a connector’s ability to communicate is just as important as its functionality. A sensor that
sends a fault message by e-mail or transmits a photo to another company site for evaluation is today as normal as
remote maintenance of entire industrial plants. The growing need to automate complex processes to guarantee safe
operation at low cost means network connections and their devices have to rely also on the physical level on consi-
stent, high-performant standards even with different environmental requirements.

Besides LC-type fiber optics, which have proved themselves in long-
distance data transmission in particular, the RJ45 connector has
become especially in building and factory cablings the connection
system of the Internet age. But requirements to connectors radically
changed when data networks expanded into harsh industrial produc-
tion environments.
M12 connections have been a standard in industrial bus
connections for a long time. They are adapted to the environmen-
tal conditions of production halls in an ideal way. Whereas RJ45 is
gaining more and more importance in electrical cabinets and distri-
butors, M12 connectors are facing new requirements for their trans-
mission performance as a result of the Ethernet entering the industry.
METZ CONNECT fiber optic and copper cabling components have
already been made fit for harsh industrial environments. Now, M12
components with a transmission performance suitable for Industrial
Ethernet were included to complete the product range and to pro-
vide each user with his preferred connection system.
Excellent signal reserves high above the requirements of the
respective standard allow for longer line lengths and higher data
rates. That are measurable benefits for every network!

5. Reliable and convenient
In the beginning, the idea was to “merge the best of all connection worlds” into one system. METZ CONNECT have
succeeded in combining very different and sometimes even opposing requirements from the device connection and
cabling sectors in an exceedingly intelligent way.
Solidity and stability
l mechanical and electrical strength
l resistance against dirt and humidity
l EMC-proved connection and operation
Transmission technology and bit rate
l Gigabit capability (1/10 Gbit/s)
l 500 MHz band width (Cat.6A)
Handling
l easy mounting / installation
l safe shield handling
l mounting without special tools
l installation and mounting security
Components and systems have to meet the increasing transmission requirements and remain easy in their use.

6. Benefits at a glance
Consistent, high-quality transmission links - from the pc board of a device to equipment cabling up to the network envi-
ronment - must face up to extremely diverse challenges. Our cross range device connection systems meet these complex
requirements:
• Environmental influences: protection against many different environmental influences (dirt, vibration, heat, cold,
chemicals etc.) up to protection class IP67.
• Transmission features: The device connection systems stand out thanks to their excellent transmission features even
in harsh industrial environments: data rates up to 10 Gbit, shield designs, electrical noise immunity etc. all follow one
philosophy.
• Cost-efficiency: The device connection systems enable manufacturers to produce devices with high protection classes
in an efficient way and to optimize for example pc board design by jacks with integrated transformers (magnetics).
• Investment protection: investors and planners are provided with future-proof solutions by standardized products.
• Device connection: edge connectors suitable for SMT assembly, Ethernet M12 and RJ45 pc board jacks provide a
quick and secure connection to the pc board.

8. Protect - shield - connect
As we see it, protection isn’t merely a technical term to be found in product specifications. First and foremost,
to protect means to guarantee operational safety even under difficult conditions as for example for device and
cabling connections in industrial networks with protection class IP67. To this end, we inspect and test products
using special procedures that we improve and extend continually based on the experience we gain from many
millions of ports installed worldwide.
To protect also means to supply products that meet the requirements of tomorrow and thus offer our customers
maximum security for their investment. Product versions with features that exceed the requirements of standards,
choice of the right materials and the unrivalled flexibility of our “Fit for all” principle guarantee this capacity.
Shielding is our philosophy! Whereas unshielded data networks in classic copper-based office cabling are still
common practice in many markets, shielded technology is becoming more and more requested, especially for high
data rates. A shielded data network in harsh and in some cases security-relevant applications is essential if only for
EMC reasons. Our system solutions provide integrated 360 degree shielding from the cable to the pc board for
RJ45 as well as for Ethernet M12 components and ensure excellent EMC features. Moreover, zinc die-cast connec-
tion systems also stand for stability. As one of the global market leaders for shielded jacks, we are both pioneer
and innovator.
To connect is the purpose of all we do! We connect the data cable to the pc board - with industrially hardened
RJ45 and Ethernet M12 jacks that excel by secure connection and high mating cycles. The way we design spring
contacts in jacks, optimize gold plating, run optical fibers, design and position ID contacts in plugs, precisely de-
fine the optical layer in housings and adapt magnetics in jacks to suit specific circuits ... all of this is connecting -
all of this is METZ CONNECT.

9. Safe, reliable, quick and flexible connection systems are only
perfect if they are also quick and easy to install.
It’s not without good reason that we have designed one series of
our jacks with the same length as SFP modules. Our system, for
which we have taken out a patent, allows the device designer to
connect our edge connector to the same pc board and in doing
so to achieve combined operation of RJ45 and fiber optic systems.
RJ45 jacks and SFP Transceiver are both protected by an integra-
ted shielding. The idea to no longer install device jacks as part of
the soldering process but to relocate this procedure to the assem-
bly process has been readily welcomed by a great many device
manufacturers - including when the delicate connections on the
pc board need to be protected against the mechanical strain
exerted by bayonet fittings.
At the same time, we still want and have to cater for the
traditional way of connecting jacks to pc boards. We offer
versions for THT, THR and SMT as well as different types of packa-
ging (Tape & Reel, plastic tray or loose in boxes). All products are
RoHS-compliant and meet all current standards - worldwide.
