B23 connector combines power supply and data

The series combines power supply and shielded data transmission in one connector. It enables Ethernet transmission rates of up to 100 Mbit/s.

Possible application areas include servo motors, robotics, manufacturing systems and, more generally, decentralised automation systems.

“Our new B23 connector combines power supply and data transmission in a unique, compact system,” said Binder’s Head of Product Management, Philipp Zuber. “It is therefore a key building block for the further establishment of One Cable Automation”.

“With our field-attachable version in particular, we are setting new standards in terms of efficiency and flexibility in electrical connection technology.”
