Data connector RJF

RJ45bayonetmetallic

Overview
The RJF series are ruggedized RJ45 Ethernet connectors designed for reliable Ethernet connectivity in harsh environments. Available in Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A variants, they feature a metallic housing, integrated sealing and a bayonet coupling with audible and visual mating signal. Compatible with standard RJ45 cordsets and supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Key features

• Compliant with IEC 60603-7 variant 11
• Bayonet coupling (audible & visual mating signal)
• Robust metallic shells based on MIL-DTL-26482 H — shell size 18
• RJ45 cordset axial retention: 100 N

Applications

• Oil & Gas
• Special machines
• Industrial process control
• Outdoor data networks
• VoIP, IPTV
• Robotics

Data transmission

• Cat.5e: Ethernet Class D per ISO/IEC 11801 — supports 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T up to 100 MHz (TIA/EIA-568-B)
• Cat.6: Ethernet Class E per ISO/IEC 11801 — supports 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T up to 250 MHz (TIA/EIA-568-B)
