● About CC-Link IE TSN
“CC-Link IE TSN” specification has been completed by the CC-Link Partner Association in 2018. This is a next generation network that further strengthens the performance and functionality of current CC-Link IE by adding Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology, additional standards related to gigabit Ethernet bandwidth. In the network communication specifications in the CC-Link IE TSN Specifications revised in February 2023, a 10-pin rectangular connector compliant with IEC 61076-3-124 is added along with RJ45 and M12 connectors.
● Features: IEC Standard Compliant, Next-Generation Industrial Equipment Network Connector: the ix Industrial™
