Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice defines the performance
requirements, size and mating interfaces for M12 style 4 and 5 pole
Heavy Duty High Speed Datalink connection systems, and applies to
both cable-to-cable and cable-to-device connectors.
Purpose
High Speed Datalink connection systems, typically those
operating at speeds that are greater than 10M bps, have been
developed for commercial applications without regard to their
potential application on heavy-duty vehicles or off-highway
machines. This recommended practice is intended to be the standard
for the heavy-duty connector mating interface and environmental
performance requirements for High Speed Datalink connection
systems. This standardization will assure mating compatibility of
data link connectors from multiple connector suppliers while
meeting industry performance requirements for heavy-duty
applications.
