The EK1121-0010 1-port EtherCAT junction can be used in an EtherCAT

Terminal segment at any desired position between the EtherCAT Terminals

and enables configuration of EtherCAT star topologies. A modular EtherCAT

star hub can be realized by using several EK1121-0010 units in a station.

Special features:

• Connection technology: 1 x RJ45 socket

• Connection lengths: up to 300 m

• Can be used for configuring an EtherCAT star topology

The EK1121-0010 has an RJ45 socket that enables connection of an Ethernet

cable with RJ45 connector and establishes a

connection to a further EtherCAT segment or to individual EtherCAT devices.

With the Extended Distance connection, distances of up to 300 m can be

reached between two Extended Distance devices. If only one connection is

configured for Extended Distance, the maximum distance between the stations

is 100 m. The EK1121-0010 supports coupling and uncoupling of EtherCAT

segments during operation (Hot Connect).
