HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The tour moves from classic terminal blocks into high-density data connectors, contactless power transfer for robotics, industrial wireless links and Ethernet-based network infrastructure that bridges field devices with controllers across diverse fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet protocols, as demonstrated on the Phoenix Contact booth at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg. This ties the company’s traditional strengths in connectivity directly to modern requirements for deterministic communication, bandwidth and flexibility in smart manufacturing.
Andreas, who works in cybersecurity and network technology, explains how machine builders now face the EU Cyber Resilience Act, making industrial cybersecurity a regulatory obligation rather than a best-effort option, and how Phoenix Contact aligns its 360° cybersecurity concept with IEC 62443 to cover secure development lifecycles, risk assessments, certified devices and ongoing vulnerability management in industrial infrastructure. The conversation emphasizes that compliance is not just about adding one secure component but about systematically engineering threat modeling, patching strategies and resilience into every connected asset.
The discussion then zooms into concrete hardware such as security routers with gigabit throughput, deep packet inspection firewalls, VPN tunnels and network segmentation, managed switches and media converters, plus a secure cloud service that orchestrates encrypted remote access so OEMs can maintain globally deployed machines without exposing their production perimeter. By combining certified security appliances with centralized firmware and configuration management, Phoenix Contact aims to simplify how smaller machine builders roll out defense-in-depth architectures across heterogeneous plants.
Throughout the walkthrough, Phoenix Contact positions itself not just as a connector manufacturer but as a partner for digital factory design, combining connectivity, automation platforms and industrial security consulting to help customers meet CRA-ready requirements, modernize brownfield assets and build scalable, serviceable production cells that stay resilient over time. The video gives a compact view of how signal, power and data products, together with cybersecurity services, are converging into a unified approach for secure, networked industrial environments today.
