IE FC Outlet RJ45
2
■
Overview
•
Simple design of structured twisted-pair cabling
•
Extremely short installation times thanks to insulation
displacement method
•
Rugged full-metal module certified according to Category 5
•
Reliable shield contact and strain relief thanks to bolt-on
cover
•
Color marking prevents errors
■
Benefits
•
Simple connection of network components or terminals to the
interference-proof Industrial Ethernet FC cabling system
•
Time-saving and error-free installation thanks to FC cables
and pre-assembled TP Cords (10/100 Mbit/s)
•
Noise-resistant due to rugged metal enclosure
•
Flexible mounting options (DIN rail, direct mounting)
•
Reliable shield contact and strain relief thanks to bolt-on
cover
•
Color marking prevents errors
■
Application
The IE FC Outlet RJ45 is used as a transition from the rugged
Industrial Ethernet FC cables used in the industrial environment
to prefabricated TP Cord cables (10/100 Mbit/s) using an
RJ45 socket.
By connecting several IE FC Outlet RJ45 devices in series,
a patch field can be constructed with the required connection
density (e.g. 16 outlets over 19" width).
■
Design
The IE FC Outlet RJ45 has a rugged metal housing and satisfies
Category 5 of the international cable standard ISO/IEC 11801
and EN 50173. It is suitable both for mounting on rails and wall
mounting by means of four through holes.
The Outlet RJ45 can also be mounted behind a metal plate with
a cutout (e.g. in a control cabinet).
The Outlet RJ45 has the following connections
•
4 insulation-piercing contacts for connecting the Industrial
Ethernet FC cable 2 x 2 (contacts are color coded)
•
RJ45 socket with dust protection cap for connecting different
TP Cord cables (10/100 Mbit/s).
■
Function
The Industrial Ethernet FC Outlet RJ45 is attached directly to the
Industrial Ethernet FC cable 2 x 2.
For connection between IE Outlet RJ45 and network compo-
nents or a terminal device, various preassembled RJ45 patch
cables (10/100 Mbit/s) are available.
