RJ45 connectors are more rugged than mil-spec models

The connector system is secure, resistant to water ingress and vibration and, importantly, withstands pulling on the cable in applications such as automation, process control and outdoor military communications.

Manufactured by the connector specialist Allied Connectors, the new RJ45 connector system comprises a panel-mount receptacle and a male plug connector and, when mated, provides protection to IP67. The connector system is designed to be used with shielded Cat6A cables and features internal grounding.

The panel-mount connector allows two female Ethernet sockets to be mounted back-to-back so that an RJ45 male connector can be mated on either side. On the outer side of the panel the connector mates with the plug connector that houses the male RJ45 connector. The shell is made from aluminium alloy with nickel plating as standard. Other finishes and backshell types are available on request.

Lane Electronics is a source for all key connector types including circular, filtered, RF, coaxial, sub-miniature, backshells and adaptors, D connectors, aerospace, test and measurement, IDC, PCB connectors, edge connectors and connectors for rack and panel applications.
