As the industry embraces decentralized automation in the era of Industry 4.0, the need for efficient and reliable electrical connectivity has never been greater. CONEC hybrid connectors rise to the challenge by integrating power, signal, and data into a single interface, reducing cabling and installation efforts while meeting the increasing demands of modern production systems. Discover how these innovative connectors can simplify operations.

Dirt, moisture, and vibrations were once considered the natural enemies of fiber optics. Despite their undeniable added value, many applications in the defense sector were reserved for copper cabling. However, equipped with robust connectors from Rosenberger, this fast, lightweight technology can now demonstrate its advantages in extreme environments without compromising the safety or reliability of the connections.

The ongoing shift toward decentralized automation driven by Industry 4.0 concepts places high demands on modern electrical connectivity. What’s needed are flexible, robust, and customizable solutions that ensure reliable transmission of signals, data, and power directly at the machine and in the field. To meet these requirements, CONEC offers a comprehensive portfolio of accessories and connectivity solutions designed for today’s advanced automation environments.

Whether it's M8, M12 or many other connector variants – at CONEC you'll find the right solution for your connectivity needs. As a full-range supplier, CONEC offers a broad portfolio tailored to a wide variety of industrial requirements. Being a complete provider in the field of sensor-actuator cabling (SAL), CONEC offers everything needed for reliable transmission of signals, data, and power.

Habia, a global supplier of customized high-performance cables, will be presenting innovative cable and connection solutions for industrial automation at this year's SPS in Nuremberg (Hall 2, Booth 420). The focus will be on applications where reliability, data integrity, and resistance to extreme environments are crucial.

At SPS 2025 in Hall 9, Booth 330, Rosenberger will showcase a broad portfolio of connectors and system solutions for reliable data and power transmission in automated production environments. The focus will be on contactless technologies, Single Pair Ethernet, and optical interfaces.

The CONEC series IP67 RJ45, USB, fiber optic, and power bayonet series are suitable for use in traffic control systems, photovoltaic systems, construction machinery, surveillance cameras, and offshore wind farms. In these areas, the climatic conditions under which connectors must operate smoothly vary greatly: intense heat, fine sand, extreme sub-zero temperatures, humidity, and corrosion on the open sea.

In this technical article, Rosenberger presents the pioneering Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology for industrial networking. After all, the standardization of SPE is on the verge of a breakthrough. This removes a major hurdle: the confusing array of connector types that has caused many companies to hesitate until now. The new universal connector standard is set to significantly simplify industrial IoT networking for digital AI services and smart factories in particular.

In today’s automation environments, cabling complexity is growing rapidly – increasing the risk of errors and lack of clarity. CONEC IO system junction boxes offer a structured solution for managing input and output signals, reducing installation time and improving cabinet organization.

Whether in industrial, agricultural, or railway technology – CONEC circular connectors with bayonet quick locking ensure secure connections without the need for tools. Depending on the product group, the three-point bayonet locking meets protection ratings IP65, IP67, and IP69K and is shock and vibration resistant. Field-attachable versions, print sockets, sockets with wire termination and overmoulded connectors in various coding options are available.

CONEC M8x1 connectors with 2 or 3 integrated LEDs are ideally suited for sensor/actuator cabling in factory automation, mechanical and plant engineering, conveyor and packaging technology, as well as in testing and inspection systems.

Power supply and data transmission in one connector: CONEC hybrid connectors excel with shorter assembly times and reduced weight on the end device (for example, a motor). With various sizes (B12, B17, B23, B40), CONEC offers the suitable hybrid connector for nearly every power class, whether it is a small DC drive or a powerful servo drive.

In an era where efficiency, speed, and cost savings are key success factors in connection technology, CONEC sets a new benchmark with its M12 Bayonet System. The innovative quick-locking mechanism can be used in industrial applications, agricultural engineering, and railway technology, for example.

Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik, one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-frequency, fiber-optic and high-voltage interconnect solutions, presents Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) as a pioneering solution for industrial networking.

D-SUB quick-locking hoods for retrofitting

The CONEC SnapLock locking system for D-SUB connectors and hoods enables a fast and secure connection and locking mechanism without additional screws. A spring clip integrated into the hood locks onto a latch pin mounted on the mating connector.

CONEC ISOBUS overmoulded – The robust interface for modern agricultural technology

Whether overmoulded as a plug or socket version, CONEC ISOBUS connectors are characterised by their high resistance to extreme environmental conditions such as moisture, dirt, dust and vibrations. The robust design and overmoulding guarantee a long service life and reliable signal and power transmission.

In order to save time and thus costs, ease of maintenance and speed of installation are playing an increasingly important role in industrial cabling. Overmoulded CONEC connectors with snap termination can be quickly and easily plugged onto sockets, sensors and actuators without any further work steps or tools.

Now also available as version with bayonet quick locking: Connector series M12x1 X-coded with data transmission up to 10 G/bits

With the M12x1 x-coded product series, CONEC offers a portfolio of CAT 6A-capable connectors which includes socket connector versions and SMT and THR variants, a field attachable connector with crimp termination as well as overmoulded axial and angled connectors.

Safety, durability and functionality – the industry is demanding

Whether plug connections, terminal strips, sockets or screw fasteners - without the hidden components in devices, for example from WECO, almost all machines in industry would come to a standstill. Unconditional functionality, high quality requirements, robustness and safety are at the top of the list. Also, the price/performance ratio must be right.

CONEC develops, produces and markets high-quality connectors, connecting cables and single ended cables as well as enclosure technology. For over 40 years, CONEC products have been proven in automation, telecommunications and energy technology, machine manufacturing, agriculture and medical technology, transportation and the aviation industry. One of its strengths is the integrated moulding of components and assemblies and the development of customized solutions.

Miniaturization in automation means that field devices and controllers are becoming ever smaller. CONEC offers a comprehensive portfolio of L-coded connectors to fully map the transmission path from a device installed in the field to the associated processing unit, and to transmit power as well as signals and data.

CONEC series: IP67 RJ45 / USB / Fibre Optic / Power Bayonet

Connectors have to work smoothly under very different climatic conditions, e.g. in traffic control systems, photovoltaic systems, construction machinery, surveillance cameras or offshore wind farms. They may be exposed to extreme heat, fine sand, severe subzero temperatures, moisture and corrosion on the open sea.

Medical technology requires durable connection solutions

There are areas of application in which reliable function and durability are essential. This applies to electronics and – often not in focus – electrical connections. WECO manufactures connection solutions for applications where the zero-defect principle is a prerequisite for operation. One example is medical technology.
