MetzConnect 130863-02-E Wire Connector IP67 Metallic

The MetzConnect 130863-02-E is a robust metallic wire connector engineered for high-performance network installations. Designed to maintain signal integrity in challenging conditions, this connector features an IP67 rating, ensuring complete protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. It is built to meet rigorous international standards, making it a reliable choice for professional data cabling infrastructure.

Advantages

This connector offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality metallic construction, which provides superior shielding and mechanical strength compared to standard plastic alternatives. The IP67 ingress protection rating allows for deployment in environments where moisture, dust, or debris might otherwise compromise network performance. By adhering to ISO/IEC 11801 and IEC 61156-5 standards, it guarantees consistent data transmission quality, reducing the risk of signal loss or interference in critical networking setups.

Suitable for

• Industrial networking environments
• Outdoor or harsh indoor data cabling installations
• Professional network infrastructure requiring high ingress protection
• Applications where mechanical durability is a priority

This connector may not be suitable for standard office environments where high-level environmental protection is unnecessary, as its robust metallic design and sealing features may be overkill for simple indoor patch cabling. Additionally, it is not intended for use with non-compatible cable diameters that fall outside the specified dimensions.

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP67
• Material: Metallic
• Outer diameter: 1.68 cm
• Depth: 64 mm
• Compliance: ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2:2011-06, IEC 61156-5 Ed.2.1:2012-12

To use the MetzConnect wire connector, ensure the cable is properly stripped and prepared according to the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific wire gauge. Insert the conductors into the connector housing, ensuring a secure fit. Tighten the metallic casing to engage the IP67 seal, which prevents moisture and dust from entering the connection point. Verify the connection with a network tester to ensure optimal signal transmission.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable diameter is compatible with the 1.68 cm outer diameter specification.
• Ensure the installation environment requires IP67-rated protection.
• Check that the connector meets the specific category requirements of your network cabling system.

Ensure that all seals are correctly seated during installation to maintain the IP67 rating. Avoid over-tightening the metallic housing to prevent damage to the internal components or the cable jacket.
