Interconnection


Fibre-optic and RJ45 in one industrial connector

25 February 2015 Interconnection

TE Connectivity has launched a range of ruggedised RJ45 connectors for industrial use. The new products include an industrial RJ45 push-pull variant 14 connector with a plastic shell, and an industrial RJ45/Fibre-optic push-pull variant 14 with a metal shell.

Both connectors are designed for a high degree of reliability over a long lifetime, and feature an IEC standardised interface for quick and easy connect and disconnect, with robust termination technology allowing for field installation without any special tools.

The comfortable push-pull mechanism ensures a secure, sealed interconnection in which all common cable diameters can be terminated. The connectors offer high-grade IP shielding and temperature resistance, making them suitable for harsh and outdoor environments.

With its metal shell, the RJ45/fibre-optic connector is able to withstand shock, vibration and temperature, and offers good chemical, oil and spark resistance. Due to its high-grade IP rating and durability, the metal shell version provides a reliable and safe connection and reduces maintenance cost.

Key applications for the plastic shell version include factory automation, sealed automation units, decentralised applications, cabinet outlets, manufacturing cells and lines for the automotive industry, solar and wind parks, train communication and data networks.

The metal shell version is highly suited for automotive production, welding machines, machinery, motors/motor controls and robotics. Both versions are able to operate across a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C.
