IP20 RJ45 Field Plug BTR NETCOM E-DAT Industry 1401405012-I

The BTR NETCOM E-DAT Industry IP20 RJ45 field plug (model 1401405012-I) is a Cat.6A eight‑core RJ45 connector designed for field assembly and multiport use. It supports 10 Gbit/s Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3an and is built with an industry‑compatible zinc die‑cast housing and protected latch for reliable connections in structured cabling and industrial networks.

Advantages

The field plug accepts a wide range of conductor types and diameters (solid and stranded copper), allows easy assembly without special tools thanks to a two‑part design, and provides physical cable securing to the loader part and a snap‑on cable strain relief that can be used as color coding. The robust housing and protected latch improve mechanical durability, and several IP67‑side variants permit its use as a test plug.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links in industrial and commercial networks
• On-site RJ45 termination and multiport installations
• Environments requiring durable metal housings and protected latching
• Use as a test plug on the IP67 side of compatible variants (1, 4, 5, 6 and 14)

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A
• Standard: IEEE 802.3an (10 GBase‑T)
• Conductors supported: AWG 26/7–22/7, AWG 24/1–22/1
• Solid copper wire diameter: 0.40–0.64 mm
• Stranded copper wire diameter: 0.48–0.76 mm
• Core diameter (max): up to 1.6 mm
• Overall cable diameter: 5.5–8.5 mm
• Housing: zinc die‑cast (industry compatible)
• Assembly: two‑part plug, no special tools required

How to use

Prepare the cable to the specified conductor and overall diameter limits, insert the eight conductors into the RJ45 contacts following the wiring scheme, and assemble the two plug parts until they click together. The cable is physically secured to the loader part during assembly; fit the snap‑on cable strain relief for additional retention and optional color coding. Ensure the latch is engaged and test the connection after termination.

Usage recommendations

Use this field plug with compatible Cat.6A cables within the stated diameter ranges and conductor types. For reliable 10 Gbit/s performance, follow IEEE 802.3an wiring and grounding practices and verify the assembled connection with appropriate network tests.
