Standard industrial interface set
The IEC Committee SC 48B Copper Connectors has published IEC 63171-6, the international standard for single-pair Ethernet interfaces in industrial applications.
The IEC 63171-6 T1 Industrial Style mating face standard was the first standard submitted by Harting to SC 48B for a single-pair Ethernet mating face back in 2016. IEC 63171-6 (Industrial Style) is incorporated into current SPE cabling standards in the ISO/IEC 11801-x series of standards for structured cabling. This implementation is so important because only in this standard are the cabling channels described with all the necessary parameters in relation to their environment and can therefore also be checked by measurement after installation. This linking of component standards to connectors and cables provides users with guidelines for setting up and checking corresponding transmission paths. as
