RJ-45 Industrial Ethernet Plugs and Jacks from Molex
Allow easy transition from harsh industrial to protected IP67/IP20 environments
LISLE, Ill. - August 19, 2009- Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA) has expanded its industrial data interconnect product offering with the introduction of more robust versions of its RJ-45 Ethernet plugs and jacks for use in industrial, marine and telecom applications. Designed specifically for compact applications requiring high density and high protection levels, the IP67/IP20-rated connectors are built in accordance with the PROFINET specification.
Extended usage of Ethernet applications from office floors to the factory level requires RJ-45 connectors with an enhanced protection level and Category 5 (100 Mbps Fast Ethernet) performance - typical industrial applications include PROFINET driven robotic devices. Molex's IP20 data plug is the smallest RJ-45 Ethernet plug on the market and the only version to which 22 AWG cables may be connected to support Insulation Displacement Technology (IDT). The connector is designed with a standard grid of just 14.00mm (.551"), which provides maximum packing density in the application.
