Whitepaper: HARTING M12 Magnetics
HARTING M12 Connectors are technical solutions with integrated transducers, critical for components in modern communication systems. Also mentioned is foregoing the need for transducers to be a separate component in the future and reduced design costs that focus on miniaturization trends. These M12 connectors provide broadband information transfer with high signal integrity that would not be possible over ethernet networks. Some transducer uses include galvanic isolation, signal transfer, isolation of potentials, and balancing in the local ethernet network.
