From Harting, the Han Modular series allows event installers to create high density connectivity and cabling systems with total signal handling flexibility for audio, video, communication, data and power signals, through different rugged IP 65/67 hoods and housings suitable for harsh handling conditions. According to the company, with the Han Modular products, multiple contact style modules can be mixed to suit particular needs.
Multi-pin modules can support analog and digital audio transfer. Multi-way coax modules can handle CCTV, SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI Video. A range of power modules allows current handling from a few amps through to 200 amps. RJ45 data modules allow Cat. 5 10/100 Mbps, Cat. 6e 1Gbps or Cat. 6EA 10 Gbps and Ethernet transfer via proprietary patch leads. Signal security between power and data lines can be assured where necessary through EMC screening options or by the use of SC Fibre Optic modules.
