New sealed Ethernet connector handles industrial applications
10 August 2005
Interconnection
Tyco Electronics has introduced a sealed RJ45 connector suitable for industrial Ethernet applications. The new Industrial Circular Ethernet connector was designed from the ground up with ruggedisation in mind. While meeting the Ethernet/IP RJ45 requirements and standards, it is also able to withstand the extreme conditions often found in industrial applications.
In addition to the many industrial Ethernet applications on machinery and the factory floor, the Industrial Circular Ethernet connector is also suitable for diagnostic equipment in the medical and instrumentation fields, communications equipment, printers and many other Ethernet applications where the connector requirement calls for ruggedisation and sealing.
Among its features is a quick-connect bayonet coupling mechanism per the ODVA interoperability interface specification. Also, the connector provides sealing protection to IP 67 and is for Category 5e cables. Electrical performance is in accordance with TIA/EIA-568 Category 5e link requirements, and versions for stranded or solid wire are available. Mechanical attributes include a positive lock coupling ring and polarisation for proper mating between connector halves.
Mounting configurations include pass-through and field installable receptacle styles. Furthermore, bulkhead receptacles mount to either the inside or outside of the panel cutout. For additional convenience, protective receptacle covers are available. This product is RoHS compliant.
