Mounting Kit Dätwyler Cables 418026 Grey Plastic

Rail adapter Keystone IP20 is an IP20 protection-rated rail adapter designed to hold one shielded or unshielded module with a Keystone fitting. The adapter mounts onto any standard 35 mm DIN rail and requires a minimum distance of 10 mm between the rail and the back plane for correct installation. The housing is plastic and includes a labelling field and a dust shutter; electrical grounding is provided via an integrated grounding spring that contacts the rail. The adapter’s width allows installation of up to 12 modules in a row in a standard electrical distributor. When multiple adapters are installed in sequence, two side covers (1.5 mm each) are required to terminate the row and maintain the IP20 protection rating. Delivery does not include the module. The product is suitable for transmission of Ethernet protocols in structured premises cabling in industrial environments.

Advantages

The rail adapter offers a compact design compatible with standard 35 mm DIN rails, an integrated grounding spring for reliable earthing via the rail, and a plastic housing with labelling field and dust shutter for clean and identifiable installations. Its width supports dense module arrangements—up to 12 modules in a row—optimizing space inside standard electrical distributors. The IP20 protection rating ensures basic protection against solid objects while remaining suitable for structured Ethernet cabling in industrial premises.

Suitable for

• Mounting one shielded or unshielded Keystone module on a 35 mm DIN rail
• Structured premises cabling for Ethernet in industrial facilities
• Dense module installations in standard electrical distributors (up to 12 modules in a row)

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP20
• Rail compatibility: standard 35 mm DIN rail
• Module capacity: 1 Keystone module (shielded or unshielded)
• Minimum rail-to-back-plane distance for fitting: 10 mm
• Housing: plastic with labelling field and dust shutter
• Grounding: integrated grounding spring via rail
• Maximum modules in a row: up to 12 in a standard distributor
• Delivery: adapter only, module not included

How to use

Fit the rail adapter onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail ensuring at least 10 mm clearance between the rail and the back plane. Insert the Keystone module (shielded or unshielded) into the adapter and close the dust shutter. Ensure the integrated grounding spring makes firm contact with the rail to provide electrical grounding. If multiple adapters are installed in a row, place two side covers (1.5 mm each) at the ends of the row to maintain IP20 protection. Verify module seating and labelling for clear identification before energizing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter in indoor electrical distributors and industrial cabling racks where IP20 protection is sufficient; avoid exposure to moisture or environments requiring higher ingress protection. For grounded installations, confirm that the DIN rail is properly earthed so the integrated grounding spring can provide reliable earthing. Order modules separately as they are not included with the adapter.
