With support for 1 Gbps data rates and CAT5 standards, it ensures consistent and high-quality signal integrity for demanding network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet networks
• Automation and control systems
• Data communication in harsh environments
• Professional networking installations

When it may not be suitable

This connector is designed for indoor use with an IP20 protection rating, meaning it is not suitable for outdoor environments or areas exposed to moisture, dust, or liquids. It is also not intended for applications requiring specialized ruggedized connectors with higher ingress protection ratings.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45
• Number of positions: 8
• Data rate: 1 Gbps
• Standard: CAT5 (IEC 11801:2002)
• Material: Zinc die-cast
• Connection method: IDC fast connection
• Cable cross-section: AWG 26-24
• Cable outlet: Straight
• Protection rating: IP20

How to use

To install the connector, prepare the Ethernet cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual wires. Insert the wires into the designated IDC terminals according to the wiring standard. Once the wires are positioned, press the connector housing together to complete the IDC connection. The straight cable outlet design ensures a clean and organized cable management path.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable gauge (AWG 26-24) matches your specific Ethernet cable.
• Ensure the environment is dry and protected, as the IP20 rating does not provide water resistance.
• Confirm that your network requirements align with CAT5 performance standards.

Usage recommendations

Ensure that the cable is properly secured to prevent strain on the connection points. Always follow the specific wiring color code standards to maintain optimal network performance and avoid signal interference.
