The Profibus user group has announced their choice for RJ45 as the ProfiNet industrial Ethernet connector: "The reason for the use of the RJ45 connector is primarily the positive experience in the industrial environment. Numerous tests, including shock and vibra-tion, have produced very good results in industrial use. "(see www.profibus.com) This contradicts all sorts of stories by many vendors during the last several years, investigations by Rockwell, etc. about the <unsuitability> of the RJ45 connector, especially under vibration, and the different connectors now being developed by various others. Who am I to believe now? Rob Hulsebos
