25 August 2004 Interconnection Information Security

To complement Bulgin's Buccaneer range of waterproof Ethernet connectors is a new in-line cable joiner that can provide a robust, economic, sealed connector for in-line network connections.

Dust and waterproof to IP68, the tough body houses an RJ45 coupler. Supplied with a choice of three couplers; the PX0777/UTP has an unshielded (UTP) coupler, the PX0777/STP a shielded (STP) coupler and the PX0777/CAT5ESTP a shielded coupler to Cat5e. This format allows any standard patchcord, RJ45 connectors and most Ethernet cables to be used.

Moulded in a black UL94V-0 rated material the connector is supplied with cable glands to suit cables from 3,5 mm to 8 mm diameter. Designed for easy field termination, the PX0777 offers an effective cable joining solution for LAN cables in harsh industrial environments.
