Adapters allow different mounting options for Ethernet switches.

The new Ha-VIS MK3000 range of mounting adapters from Harting offers a number of different mounting options for the company’s Ha-VIS eCon 3000 family of Ethernet switches. As a result, users no longer face any limitations to the optimal integration of the switches in field installations.

Adapters in various widths are available for simple attachment to walls and flat surfaces, for a flat attachment to a top-hat rail with lateral port orientation (vertical) and for flat attachment to a top-hat rail with port orientation downwards (horizontal). An integrated cable manager fixes the data cable directly at the switch, thereby minimising the negative effects of external shock and vibration influences and ensuring reliable and stable operation in the most demanding environments.

A further variant is provided by a mounting adapter that allows the attachment of Ha-VIS eCon/mCon Ethernet switches to a S7-300 profile rail. This mounting adapter can also be used with all other top-hat rail devices. The adapter is simply hung on the S7-300 profile rail and fixed with screws.
