Modern industrial operations, driven by concepts such as Industry 4.0 and the emerging Industry 5.0, increasingly rely on reliable digital data networks for automation, process management, monitoring, and data collection.In these demanding environments, the need for ultra-high reliability and high data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps is paramount. In Industry 5.0, digital data networks must provide ultra-high reliability and high data rates for various applications. This is especially true for applications such as cyber-physical systems (CPS) and cognitive cyber-physical systems (C-CCP), which require uninterrupted and fast communication to function effectively. The growing demand for high-speed data transmission, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, in industrial environments is accompanied by an urgent need for explosion protection.

The device is designed to convert an Ethernet 10GBASE-T into an intrinsically safe Industrial Ethernet STP LAN directly in an explosive zone with a data transfer rate of up to 10 Gbit/s. The device allows you to connect the network using a standard CAT 7 GG45 (RJ45 compatible) connector. The device provides data transmission at a speed of 10 Gbit/s over a CAT7 cable up to 100 m (a common segment consisting of an intrinsically safe section of the network and not intrinsically safe). The device allows you to connect to a safe network segment and explosion-proof segment using standard CAT7 GG45 (RJ45 compatible) connectors.

The device provides data transmission at a speed of 10 Gbit/s over a CAT6 cable up to 55 m (a common segment consisting of an intrinsically safe section of the network and not intrinsically safe). The device provides data transmission at a speed of 10 Gbit/s over a CAT6a cable up to 80 m (a common segment consisting of an intrinsically safe section of the network and not intrinsically safe). When using CAT6 or CAT6a cables, the device can be connected using standard RJ45 connectors.

• You can do "hot" connection, no need de-energize equipment.

• Operational repair and installation cables and connectors in hazardous area, does not require rations.

• A damaged cable will not cause a fire or explosion in an explosive atmosphere.

Operational advantages in hazardous areas:

"Hot" connection: Allows connection without the need to de-energize the equipment, which is a significant advantage for continuous operation.This is a direct advantage of the intrinsically safe design. 

Prompt repair and installation: Allows repair and installation of cables and connectors directly in hazardous areas without the need for special permits or de-energization.This is in stark contrast to explosion-proof enclosures, which often require removal from the hazardous area for maintenance. 

Damage resistance: A damaged cable connected to the device will not cause a fire or explosion in an explosive atmosphere, which emphasizes the principle of intrinsic safety.

• Mounting zone 1

• Application in explosive zone category IIC.

The classification of a product for an "explosive zone category IIC" is a very specific and critically important detail. IIC is the most dangerous gas group, including hydrogen and acetylene, which have very low ignition energies. Achieving certification for IIC requires extremely rigorous design decisions and testing. This classification is a strong indicator of the reliable engineering safety of a product and its ability to operate in the most demanding and dangerous industrial environments. It distinguishes this product from products certified only for less hazardous areas (for example, IIA or IIB). For end users in industries such as petrochemicals or hydrogen production, an IIC rating is a requirement, making this product a highly specialized and valuable solution for mission-critical applications where safety limits must be maximized.

• Can be produced connection at temperatures from -60°C to +80°C.

• Low electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI)

• Suitable for connection of equipment with voltage of 250VAC 50/60HZ.

• Provides additional protection against accidental PoE connections.

• 10 Gbps.

• 100 m or 55 m or 80 m segment.

• using standard CAT7 GG45 (RJ45 compatible) connectors or standard CAT6 RJ45 connectors.

The HydITEx Explosion-proof Ex Ethernet STP 10GE device represents a major step forward in high-speed data networks for hazardous industrial environments. It functions as a converter, allowing standard Ethernet 10GBASE-T to be safely deployed as an intrinsically safe industrial Ethernet STP network directly in hazardous areas.

Explosion-proof high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (abbreviated 10GE, 10GbE, or 10 GigE) over 4-pair twisted pair 10GBASE-T (STP 10GE LAN Ethernet solution) will allow you to create advanced industrial heavy cyber-physical systems (CPS) and cognitive cyber-physical systems (C-CCP) in explosive areas. This is the most economical and simple standard solution, guaranteeing very high frame rates.
