FastConnect Industrial Ethernet Cabling Technology

Why FastConnect cabling technology?

Cabling industrial plants is demanding, with problems arising when stripping cables, assembling the plug-in connector, or connecting cores. FastConnect is a quick assembly cabling system for configuring Industrial Ethernet, PROFINET, or PROFIBUS networks in industrial plants.

FastConnect reduces complexity and saves crucial time by making on-site assembly quick, easy, and reliable. The sophisticated system helps to prevent installation errors and improves operational availability. In addition to the proven standard lengths of the Industrial Ethernet Connecting Cable M12-180/M12-180, you can order customer-specific lengths between 0.3 m and 88 m.

FastConnect includes copper cables and connectors, fiber-optic cables and connectors and cables for power supply of modules.
