HARTING Ha-VIS preLink installation concept for data network cabling

HARTING Ha-VIS preLink offers an installation concept for data network cabling according to ISO/IEC 1180.1, suitable for heavy-duty theatre backstage and upstage usage areas. The technology simplifies cabling, saves installation time and enables extensions and conversions without incurring significant interruptions of existing operations.

The data cable is first assembled in the preLink termination block which then simply snaps into the preLink standard RJ45 jacks or optional HARTING plug modules. The preLink cables can either be terminated in the field or factory, supplied preterminated in a reliable, pre-tested state. Installation flexibility is enhanced by easy replacement and drag through in narrow ducting of the small cross-section cables, allowing futureproof upgrades from Cat 5 100 Mbps up to Cat 6 EA 10G performance.

The company offers a patch panel for installation in 19″ cabinets or frames in accordance with IEC/DIN EN 60297-3-100 (DIN 41494-1). Up to 24 individual Ha-VIS preLink RJ45 socket modules or RJ Industrial 10G couplers can be mixed-loaded into the patch panel. Users benefit from the flexibility that allows them to decide whether they want to work with preterminated cables or patch cables.

To complete the theatre installation solution options, the company also offers a Ha-VIS preLink IP 20/30 AP Box for mounting on walls and pillars. It is even possible to mount on DIN rails according to DIN EN 60715. The AP Box consists of two housing sections and preLink RJ45 modules. The box is preassembled and is quick and easy to install. Cables can be fed in from above or below. Both RJ45 ports have angled outlets and can be labelled.
