RJ-45 Ethernet Connectors from Molex Perform Reliably under Harsh conditions
Connect reliably to Ethernet devices even in harsh environments with the RJ-45 Field Wireable Ethernet Connectors from Molex Incorporated. These connectors meet the Ethernet/IP* Specifications of both the Open DeviceNet* Vendors Association and ControlNet** Vendors Association. They are ideal for use in environments where Ethernet protocol is used, including manufacturing facilities, water treatment plants, and transportation hubs.
The connector's circular, bayonet-style locking design meets all sealed connector industry specifications. The lock is molded into the plug, making it more robust than similar products on the market. The bayonet-style latch enables quick, easy mating and unmating as well as ensuring proper depth when mated.
A compression nut on the back of the plug provides superior strain relief and an excellent seal, yet it is versatile enough to accept cable diameters from 2.9mm to 6.4mm. The plug can be terminated easily in the field, allowing users to customize cable length. The keyed receptacle housing allows easy, damage-free mating.
Pricing for these products depends on quantity and style. For example, when purchased in quantities of 100, the receptacle would cost $13.06 each. Typical lead time is one to two weeks.
