Cable gender changer adapter InLine 92505B — coupler for converting connector gender

The InLine RJ45 terminal block with straight 8P8C socket and 9-pin screw terminal (8 signals + shield) provides a solder-free, DIN-rail mountable interface for structured Ethernet wiring in control cabinets, test benches, laboratories and service environments. The module links a permanently installed RJ45 jack directly to a side-mounted screw terminal strip, supporting wires from 16–26 AWG and enabling fast, tool-assisted wiring with a flat-head screwdriver ≤ 2.5 mm. The housing is prepared for top-hat (DIN) rail mounting and the unit is designed for robust industrial use with tested short-circuit and miswiring protection.

Advantages

The terminal block reduces installation time by enabling quick, solder-free connections and uses a standardized RJ45 interface for direct connection to network components. Space-saving DIN-rail mounting allows neat integration into control cabinets. Electrical ratings—1.0 A per pin, insulation resistance ≥ 10 MΩ at 300 V DC and max. operating voltage 100 V between signals—support reliable signal transmission under continuous load.

Suitable for

• Structured Ethernet wiring in control cabinets
• Network diagnostics and test benches
• Machine-to-machine communication and embedded systems
• Service work and installation tasks with RJ45 connections

How to use

Mount the module on a standard DIN top-hat rail using the pre-mounted clip. Strip and prepare wires in the 16–26 AWG range, insert each conductor into the corresponding screw terminal and secure with a flat-head screwdriver (≤ 2.5 mm) using the pressure plate. Plug a standard straight RJ45 plug into the 8P8C socket to establish the connection. Observe wiring order and shield termination to maintain signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use within the specified temperature range (–20 °C to +70 °C), ensure connections do not exceed 1.0 A per pin, and follow correct pair/wire assignment and shielding practices. Install on a grounded DIN rail and verify wiring with appropriate network-test equipment after installation.
