Networking cable Eaton DeLOCK 81251 Cat6, 2 m, RJ-45 to 8‑pin terminal block, black/yellow

Eaton DeLOCK 81251 Cat6 networking cable, 2 m, RJ-45 to 8‑pin terminal block in black/yellow provides a straightforward interface between standard Ethernet ports and devices that require a screw-terminal or mini I/O connection. The cable supports Cat6 performance for Ethernet applications over its 2 m length and is designed for installations where a terminal block connection is needed, such as industrial automation, machine control panels, or custom networked equipment.

Advantages

The cable combines a standard RJ-45 connector with an 8‑pin terminal block, allowing fast connection of patch-corded network devices to equipment that lacks a dedicated RJ-45 jack. Cat6-rated wiring ensures adequate bandwidth and signal integrity for typical Ethernet networks up to category 6 specifications. The dual-color design (black with yellow accents) aids visual identification in complex wiring environments. The compact terminal block allows secure screw connections for field wiring and simple on-site termination without special crimping tools.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial controllers, PLCs, or machine interfaces to Ethernet switches or routers
• Custom installations where devices use a D-shape mini I/O or screw-terminal network input
• Temporary or permanent field wiring when a modular RJ-45 plug must connect to terminal-based equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Length: 2 m
• One end: RJ-45 straight male connector
• Other end: 8‑pin screw terminal block (straight)
• Color: black with yellow accents
• Application: Ethernet networking for data and control signals

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plug into the Ethernet port of a switch, router or device in the usual way. On the terminal block end, loosen the small screws, insert the stripped conductors according to the device wiring diagram or color code, then tighten the screws to secure each conductor. Verify correct pair wiring and continuity before applying network traffic. Ensure the terminal block mounting orientation matches the equipment’s connector location to avoid strain on the cable.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in environments consistent with Cat6 cabling standards; avoid excessive bending or sharp kinks and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic interference sources. For industrial installations, secure the cable with suitable clamps and observe the device manufacturer’s wiring diagrams for pin assignment and grounding requirements.
