Industrial applications place high demands on connectors, e.g. in measuring systems that carry out dimensional checks and evaluations in production plants during the running process. High data rates and IP67 protection class are required. The new connectors are suitable for outdoor use in network technology and telecommunications.
The IP67 RJ45 Cat6A connectors with solder termination are available in plastic and zinc die-cast housings, the corresponding IP67 RJ45 Cat 6A inline adapters with bayonet coupling on both sides and plastic housings. Both versions are designed for front or rear wall mounting with a maximum housing wall thickness of 3.2 mm. Additional protective caps are available to protect the connector against dirt and moisture when unplugged.
In addition to the IP67 RJ45 series, a panel mount connector (female) with USB 2.0 dual port in the same housing size as the IP67 RJ45 connectors has been implemented.

This USB interface can be used, for example, for local data storage and system updates. An M28 protective cap reliably prevents the entry of dust and water when unplugged. The IP67 USB 2.0 dual port female connectors are available in plastic and are designed for rear panel mounting with a maximum housing wall thickness of 3.2 mm. ▪ ds
