The world's first IP67 industrial Ethernet Connector

The industry's first IP67 sealed RJ-45 connector extends Ethernet from boardroom to the factory floor. Ethernet offers strong benefits in a manufacturing environment, including lower hardware costs, ease of maintainability and simplified data flow to the enterprise system, but is rarely used at this level because the physical media is not designed to withstand abusive environments. The patent-pending RJ-Lnxx™ family solves this problem by combining the industrially proven mini form factor with standard RJ-45 technology to seal out contaminants and also protect against the effects of vibration and accidental disconnection. This design is not only a perfect solution for factories but also other harsh applications like oil fields, stadium & concert halls, railroads and marinas.

RJ-Lnxx™ connectors are compatible with either 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX systems and are flexible enough to allow use with either commercial RJ-45 or Industrial Ethernet components. Cordsets are constructed of category 5 cable and are available in a number of lengths and connector configurations. Field attachable versions enable the installer to connect the exact right length of cable at the network site.

The RJ-Lnxx™ connector is the first in a series of products in the RJ-Lnxx™ family, designed to bring the benefits of Ethernet connectivity to areas where wet, dirty and electrically noisy conditions previously precluded its use.
