Right angle plug variation to the IEC Standard Compliant (IEC 61076-3-124) ix industrial connector. HIROSE ELECTRIC has added a right angle plug as a new variation to the IEC Standard Compliant (IEC 61076-3-124) Industrial Ethernet Interface ix Industrial Connector Lineup. The ix Industrial connector was released in 2017 in collaboration with German-based development partner, Harting Technology Group, and has been used in a variety of industrial markets such as Factory Automation, robotics and machine vision. The ix Industrial has been adopted by several large industrial application manufacturers for Ethernet connectivity, due to its space-saving and durable design. Hirose has released the new right angle plug variation in response to market needs for space-saving routing, free of stress on the connector resulting from cable bending when space on the interface connection side of the device is limited. While straight plugs are already a part of the ix Industrial lineup, the right angle type allows the cable to be pulled out at a right angle in respect to the mating axis, reducing the height of the equipment interface connection and making it easier to route the cable in tight spaces. The ix Industrial lineup provides more wiring flexibility, with two

cable assembly options of solder and IDC, 2 keying options, and both downward cabling and upward cabling right angle plug variations for use based on the application. Features include: IEC standard compliant (IEC 61076-3-124); ix Industrial offers a reduced size of 75% compared to conventional RJ-45 modular solutions. Receptacles allow
10mm parallel pitch mounting and HIROSE's unique shell design withstands shock and vibration. Connector offers 5,000 mating cycles to ensure excellent durability. HIROSE Electric Visit Website
First industrial 5G router The Scalance MUM856-1, the first industrial 5G router from Siemens, is available now. The device connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G (LTE), and 3G (UMTS) mobile wireless networks. The router can be used to remotely monitor and service plants, machines, control elements, and other industrial devices via a public 5G network – flexibly and with high data rates. Demand for this type of solution is growing in industry. In addition, the device can be integrated into private 5G networks. The Scalance MUM856-1 therefore supports futureoriented applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing, autonomous vehicles in logistics or augmented reality applications for service technicians. Thanks to a robust IP65 housing, the router can also be used outside the control cabinet, for example under harsh conditions in production or in outdoor facilities in the water industry. To ensure the powerful connection of Ethernet-based subnetworks and automation devices, the Scalance MUM856-1 supports Release 15 of the 5G standard. The device offers high bandwidths of up to 1000 Mbps for the downlink and up to 500 Mbps for the
