As an independent platform for industrial Ethernet, Iaona's "Planning and installation guide" describes company-neutral, normative solutions for planning, installing and setting up industrial Ethernet networks.

In the edition published for the SPS/IPC/Drives 2003 trade fair, the Variosub plug connector described in the draft standard IEC61076-3-106 is documented as an RJ45-based solution.

In addition to providing protection against dirt and moisture, to protection category IP67, it is built to withstand the chemical conditions and mechanical strains present in harsh industrial environments.

The components are amply screened against adverse EMC conditions.

The plug connector is suitable for Fast Ethernet transmissions at 100Mbit/s and corresponds to the Cat5 requirements in accordance with EN50173.

Phoenix Contact has developed an entire installation concept based on this plug connector.

Hence there are products such as sleeves, female connectors, couplings and pre-assembled cables available for most industrial installations.
