Hermetic surface-mounted RJ45 socket Alantec ALANTEC OS001IP IP66, 1-port (not equipped)

Alantec OS001IP is a hermetic surface-mounted RJ45 socket designed to provide a single RJ45 network outlet in a dust- and water-resistant enclosure rated to IP66. The unit is supplied without an insert so installers can choose the appropriate keystone or RJ45 module for the required Ethernet category. The compact, durable housing is intended for outdoor or harsh indoor environments where a sealed data connection point is necessary for Ethernet cabling and network terminations.

Advantages

The IP66-rated enclosure protects the network interface from dust, rain and jetting water while maintaining a compact footprint for wall or surface mounting. Because the product is supplied not equipped, it offers installation flexibility: technicians can install the appropriate keystone insert to match cabling standards and shielding requirements. The robust construction and secure sealing reduce the risk of corrosion and accidental disconnection in industrial, commercial or external installations.

Suitable for

• Outdoor network outlets on façades, poles or external cabinets
• Industrial environments with dust or water exposure
• Commercial premises requiring sealed Ethernet terminations
• Temporary or permanent surface-mounted cabling runs

Key specifications

• Enclosure protection rating: IP66 (dust tight and protected against powerful water jets)
• Mounting type: surface-mounted housing for wall or panel attachment
• Ports: 1x RJ45 opening (socket not pre-installed)
• Material: durable weather-resistant plastic (UV-stable) with gasketed seal
• Finish: exterior-suitable finish for outdoor exposure
• Access: removable cover for installation and maintenance

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a clean, flat surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Open the cover, fit the selected RJ45 keystone or compatible module into the opening, and terminate the Ethernet cable to the module following standard wiring practices for the chosen category. Ensure the gasket is correctly seated and the cover is tightened to restore the IP66 seal. Where cable entry requires glands or conduit, use compatible weatherproof fittings to maintain enclosure integrity.

Usage recommendations

Select a keystone insert compatible with the cable category and shielding needs (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6, shielded) and verify that cable glands or conduit entries match cable diameter to preserve the IP66 rating. For installations in salt-air or chemically aggressive environments, choose corrosion-resistant fasteners and perform periodic inspections of seals.
