Tyco Electronics’ New Field-Installable Industrial Ethernet Connector Requires No Tools

Designed for use in harsh industrial environments, such as sealed automation units, decentralized applications, cabinet-outlets, manufacturing cells and lines in the automotive industry, as well as solar parks and wind parks, the IP65/67 field installable Industrial Ethernet RJ45 connector features a comfortable push-pull mechanism. This push-pull mechanism, together with the jack-side frame ensures a secure, sealed interconnection and enables the connector to withstand severe shocks and vibrations.

Ideal for use with four-wire AWG 22 and eight-wire AWG 26 cables, the Industrial Ethernet RJ45 push-pull connector comes with protective covers for both the plug and receptacle for extra protection when not mated. An eight-position high performance insert [with eight pins] will be available soon, as will be five support and packing frame variants, including a frame with seal and screws for use with PCBs, a frame with SL 110 Jack shielded for Cat5e, a frame with 6SSL Jack for Cat6 and a frame with shielded/unshielded couplers.

Meeting TIA/EIA 568 Category 5e requirements, the RJ45 push-pull connector also complies with the IEC61076-3-117 – Variant 14 standard. Featuring completely UV resistant housings, the device has been designed for a wide operating temperature range from -40 up to +70 degrees Celsius.
