Socket outlet RJ-45 Rittal 2482.560, white, polycarbonate, IP65

The Rittal 2482.560 is a white polycarbonate socket-outlet designed to provide rapid access to RJ-45 network interfaces while keeping the enclosure closed and protected from environmental influences and unauthorized access. The compact unit is IP65-rated and intended for universal use wherever protected, quick access to network sockets is required.

Advantages

The mounting frame features a flap that snaps into position at opening angles between 90° and 180°, allowing flexible cable routing and convenient access. A snap fastener ensures reliable sealing against dust and moisture and can be locked if required. The inserted SUB-D style interfaces (adapter assembly) can be rotated while in use, improving alignment and ease of connection without exposing the interior of the enclosure.

Suitable for

• Industrial enclosures and control cabinets requiring protected RJ-45 access
• Outdoor or harsh-environment installations where IP65 protection is needed
• Maintenance points and service panels that need quick plug-in access

When it may not be suitable

Not suitable where higher ingress protection than IP65 is required (for example, permanent submersion). It is also not intended as a primary heavy-duty connector for extremely high mechanical load or frequent, rough handling beyond standard industrial use.

Key specifications

• Socket type: RJ-45
• Colour: White
• Housing material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Protection rating: IP65
• Weight: 60 g
• Flap opening angle: adjustable snap positions between 90°–180°
• Sealing: snap fastener (lockable)
• Rotatable SUB-D style interfaces while in use

How to use

Install the socket-outlet into the cutout of the enclosure using the appropriate mounting frame. Route the network cable to the RJ-45 connector and secure the flap; the flap will snap into the chosen opening position between 90° and 180°. Ensure the snap fastener is engaged to maintain IP65 sealing; if needed, lock the fastener for additional security. The RJ-45 interface may be rotated as required during connection without opening the enclosure further.

What to consider before purchase

• Required protection level (IP65) and whether higher protection is needed
• Compatibility with your enclosure cutout and mounting dimensions
• Number and type of interfaces required (single RJ-45)
• Environmental conditions (temperature, mechanical stress, exposure)

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, verify enclosure cutout dimensions before installation, use appropriate cable glands on incoming cables, and engage the snap fastener fully. Lock the flap if access must be restricted.
