HARTING will use the 2019 HANNOVER MESSE trade show to present the RJ Industrial MultiFeature series, an RJ industrial interface that is significantly easier to assemble in the field which no longer requires a separate tool.
With the RJ Industrial in the new MultiFeature series, HARTING meets customers’ wishes and requirements for even easier operation and field assembly capability. The continued development of the successful RJ Industrial standard now offers tool-free assembly, simple operation and a robust metal housing. An additional area of application for AWG 26 to AWG 22 stranded wires, along with robust cable fixation, are features that simplify installation for the fitter and accelerate installation.
While the classic RJ45 was developed for telecommunications and did not always meet all the demands of the industrial sector, the HARTING RJ Industrial MultiFeature series meets all the demands and adversities posed by harsh environments. Safe Cat. 6A performance, IP20 and IP65/67 housing paired with PoE power supply variants IEEE802.3af (PoE 15.4W) / IEEE802.3at (PoE 25.5W) / IEEE802.3bt (PoE 100W) provides data and power for every device.
The robust metal housing always produces a reliable Ethernet connection and is fully industrial-strength thanks to its metal locking and tough strain relief – consistent development progress and simplification for all users of the interface that has proven its worth a million times over.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
