Wire connector MicroConnect KON525 RJ-45 straight, black, 1 pc, 50 g

MicroConnect KON525 is a straight RJ-45 wire connector in black, supplied as a single piece with a weight of 50 g and compact pack dimensions. It is designed for terminating and extending 8‑wire Ethernet cables and for repair or rerouting of LAN/data network cabling. The connector uses a durable PA66 plastic outer housing with integrated strain relief on both ends and a weatherproof design that eliminates the need for bulky external connection boxes in many installations.

Advantages

The design provides a compact, IP68-rated junction point for outdoor and indoor cable runs, supporting straightforward extension and repair without special tools. The PA66 housing offers mechanical robustness and environmental protection, while the integrated strain relief reduces stress on terminations and improves long‑term connection reliability. Supplied as a single, ready-to-use unit, the connector simplifies on-site work and reduces installation time.

Suitable for

• Extension of existing Ethernet/LAN cables
• Repair of damaged RJ-45 cable ends in the field
• Rerouting network runs where a compact inline connector is required
• Outdoor and indoor cabling where IP68 protection is beneficial
• Temporary or permanent connections without using a junction box

Key specifications

• Connector type: straight RJ-45 inline connector for 8-conductor Ethernet cables
• Housing material: PA66 (nylon) plastic with enhanced mechanical strength
• Protection class: IP68 rated sealing against dust and water ingress
• Strain relief: integrated on both cable entry sides
• Weight: approximately 50 g per unit
• Color: black
• Package dimensions: 200 × 178 × 31 mm

How to use

Prepare the Ethernet cable by stripping the outer sheath to expose the eight conductors and arrange the wires in the correct order for the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Insert the conductors into the connector according to the connector’s internal guide, ensuring full insertion and correct alignment. Close and secure the housing to obtain the IP68 seal and engaged strain relief. No specialised tools are required for assembly, but a cable stripper and cutter help achieve a clean preparation and reliable contact.

Usage recommendations

For best long‑term performance, verify the wiring order before sealing the housing and avoid overtightening any clamping elements. Use the connector in environments within its rated protection class; for critical installations, test the link for continuity and signal quality after installation. When used outdoors, ensure mating connectors and adjacent junctions are also weatherproofed to maintain the overall protection level.
