HARTING | Much more than just connectors.

We provide connectivity solutions for transmitting power, data and signals in railway technology. Ethernet backbones and data infrastructures are just some of the possible applications. Connectors are also used during the maintenance and integration of stationary railway infrastructures. Connectivity for the exterior of rail vehicle requires robust solutions that can withstand high environmental stress, such as stone chips, corrosion and extreme temperature changes.
