The Helukabel 11024689 Helukat Profinet RJ45 connector is a high-performance networking component engineered specifically for Category 5 industrial communication systems. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of Profinet and EtherCAT environments, this connector ensures stable and reliable data transmission. Its robust construction and precise engineering make it an ideal choice for professional Ethernet installations where signal integrity and durability are paramount.
Advantages
This connector features a highly efficient design that eliminates the risk of losing small components during installation, as it is constructed without individual loose parts. The inclusion of color-coded contact elements simplifies the wiring process, reducing the likelihood of errors. Furthermore, the connector supports tool-free assembly, allowing for rapid field installation without the need for specialized crimping equipment. Its versatile design accommodates both straight and angled cable exits, providing flexibility for various installation layouts.
Suitable for
- Profinet industrial communication networks
- EtherCAT automation systems
- Professional Ethernet installations
- Field assembly of network cabling
This connector may not be suitable for environments requiring high-level moisture or dust protection, as it is rated with an IP20 protection class. It is also not intended for use with cable gauges outside of the 22 AWG to 24 AWG range or for applications exceeding 100 Mbit/s transmission speeds.
Key specifications
- Connector type: RJ45
- Category: 5
- Transmission rate: Up to 100 Mbit/s
- Cable compatibility: 24 AWG or 22 AWG, solid or stranded
- Protection class: IP20
- Assembly method: Tool-free with IDC clamps
To use the Helukabel RJ45 connector, prepare your Ethernet cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the internal wires. Insert the wires into the color-coded contact elements according to the specified wiring standard. Once the wires are positioned, close the connector housing to engage the IDC clamps, which establish a secure and reliable connection without the need for additional tools. The design allows for quick field assembly, making it efficient for both new installations and maintenance tasks.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your cable gauge is either 22 AWG or 24 AWG
- Ensure the installation environment is dry and protected, consistent with IP20 standards
- Confirm that your network infrastructure operates within the 100 Mbit/s speed limit
For optimal performance, ensure that the cable is properly seated within the IDC clamps during assembly to maintain consistent signal integrity throughout the network run.
