IE FC RJ45 Plug 4 x 2
2
■
Overview
•
Implementation of direct device connections of up to 90 m
with Industrial Ethernet FC installation cable 4 x 2 without
using patch technology
•
Easy connection (insulation displacement contacts) for 8-core
twisted pair installation cables (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) without
the need for special tools
•
Error-minimizing connection technique thanks to visible
connection area as well as colored insulation displacement
termination
•
Industry-compatible design (rugged metal housing, no easily
lost small parts)
•
Excellent EMC shielding and deflection (metal housing)
•
Integrated strain-relief for installation cables
•
Compatible with the EN 50173 (RJ45) / ISO IEC 11801
standard
•
Additional strain and bending relief of plug connector possible
through latching of plug on device housing, e.g. with
SCALANCE X, SCALANCE S.
■
Benefits
•
Ideal solution for installation of RJ45 plugs in the field
•
Time-saving, error-free installation due to FastConnect system
•
Noise-resistant RJ45 plug connector due to rugged metal
housing
•
Reliable shield attachment and strain relief are integrated
•
Mistakes are prevented thanks to color coding and the trans-
parent contact cover
•
Coordinated system comprising Industrial Ethernet
FastConnect plug-in connectors and an extensive range of
FastConnect cables with corresponding UL approvals
■
Application
The compact, rugged design of the connectors makes the
FC RJ45 Plug suitable for use in both industrial environments
and on office equipment.
The Industrial Ethernet FastConnect RJ45 Plug 4 x 2
permits quick and easy installation of the Industrial Ethernet
FastConnect installation cables 2 x 4 (8-core twisted pair
cables) in the field.
The Industrial Ethernet FastConnect Stripping Tool for preparing
the end of a cable (stripping the jacket and shield in one step)
allows simple handling and fast, reliable fitting of the cable
connector to the cable. As all the cable connector parts are
captive, it can also be fitted in difficult conditions.
The new plug-in connector enables point-to-point links to be
implemented (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for Industrial Ethernet
between two data terminals/network components up to 90 m
apart without the need for patches.
Use of FastConnect cables 4 x 2 with IE FC RJ45 plug 4 x 2
If components that do not support autocrossing are used,
an IE TP XP cord must be used between two network components or terminals.
