KYOCERA AVX Introduces the Next Generation of Industrial Connectors

KYOCERA AVX has recently launched the 6780-000 Series of T1 Industrial Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) connectors, designed specifically to meet the increasing demand for efficient and compact industrial communication solutions. This innovative product addresses the needs of various applications including industrial automation, sensor networks, and smart grid technologies.

Unmatched Efficiency in Design

The 6780-000 Series SPE connectors offer significant space and weight advantages, making them a compelling choice compared to traditional RJ45 connectors. While RJ45 connectors require two pairs of wires for Fast Ethernet (100Mb/s) and four pairs for Gigabit Ethernet (1Gb/s), the SPE connectors achieve Ethernet communication using a single twisted copper wire pair. Additionally, these connectors incorporate Power over Data Lines (PoDL) technology, enabling power supply to terminal devices without needing additional wiring.

This simplified connectivity approach results in a staggering 45% reduction in board space requirements. Furthermore, the lightweight design contributes not only to reduced installation complexity but also to easier maintenance, ultimately leading to enhanced reliability across different systems.

Advanced Features for High Performance

The connectors meet the IEC 63171-6 and IEEE 802.3 standards, ensuring they perform effectively in demanding industrial environments. They provide data transmission speeds of 1Gb/s over a distance of 40 meters, and 10Mb/s for up to 1,000 meters. The connectors are rated for operation in harsh conditions, with sufficient durability to withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, and they boast a mating force of 20N.

Moreover, the 6780-000 Series SPE connectors have been designed for easy installation. They feature cold-welded insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology, enhancing the efficacy of automated cable assembly processes. This design choice not only assures robust connections but also supports fast and reliable custom installations.

Reducing Complexity and Costs

One of the standout features of the new series is the capability to streamline system architecture. By eliminating the need for gateways and analog interfaces, these connectors simplify the entire setup, which can lead to lower operational costs and less unplanned downtime. This is particularly beneficial for systems deployed in traffic control, transportation management, and advanced automation environments where reliability and efficiency are critical.

Marc Actis, the Marketing Manager at KYOCERA AVX - Europe, emphasized, "Our new T1 SPE connectors and cable assemblies are pivotal in driving the transition to more efficient industrial standards. We aim to support our customers in reducing complexity while facilitating communication networks that are not only reliable but also cost-effective."
