System connectivity solutions for in-vehicle networks

Harting can now offer a complete range of interconnectivity solutions for in-vehicle Ethernet communications networks in road and rail vehicles.

A combination of the company's Ha-VIS 4000 range of Ethernet switches and Ha-VIS EtherRail data cables forms the basis for reliable Ethernet networks both within and in between vehicles.

In addition, the implementation of redundant networks that are specially designed to meet the connectivity requirements encountered in buses, trams and trains can be optimised with a combination of supplementary, interactive products, such as Ethernet switches with PoE (power over Ethernet), highly flexible data cables compliant with LSZH (low-smoke/zero-halogen) requirements and their range of industrial connectors.

Hartings's Ha-VIS eCon 4080-BPoE1 8-port PoE switch can be used to implement video networks as an aid to enhancing passenger safety in the driver's cab or at bus/train stops. Highly flexible data cables with four-star construction can be used both as connecting cable at the carriage transition and for installations in the vehicles, and conforms to current fire regulations to TS EN 45 545-5 for rail and bus vehicles.
