Today’s machines are becoming increasingly compact. Every millimeter counts, which is why choosing a connector designed for maximum space efficiency matters. System failures not only cost money but also valuable development time. Compact, functional, and efficient connection solutions are needed. This is where standardized hybrid connectors in size M17 come in: signals, data, and power are transmitted through a single connector. This single-cable solution saves space, reduces installation time, and minimizes the risk of downtime.

Standardized single-cable solutions are a key innovation in compact machine and system cabling. The new IEC 61076-2-117 standard specifies requirements for shielded, free, and fixed circular connectors from M12 to M40 that can transmit
