Design
Industrial Ethernet FC RJ45 Plugs are available in three designs:
They are used for optimized connection of Industrial Ethernet
FastConnect cables to data terminals and network components.
The plugs have a rugged, industry-compatible metal housing
that provides optimum protection against faults in data commu-
nication.
The 4 integrated insulation displacement contacts make con-
tacting of the FC cable variants easy and error-free.
After the stripped cable end has been inserted into the insulation
displacement terminations (which have been hinged open),
the latter are pressed down for reliable contacting of the con-
ductors.
Thanks to their compactness, the plug-in connectors
(IE FC Plug 180°) can be used on devices with individual
sockets and on devices with multiple sockets (blocks).
Data terminals with a suitable bracket on the housing provide
additional tension and bending relief for the plug-in cable.

Function
The IE FC RJ45 Plugs are used to install uncrossed 100 Mbit/s
Ethernet connections up to 100 m without the use of patches.
Crossed cables can also be installed by swapping the transmit
and receive pair in a plug.
When the housing is open, color markings on the contact cover
make it easier to connect the cores to the blade terminals. The
user can check that contact has been made correctly through
the transparent plastic material of the contact cover.

Press down contact cover to
make contact with the wires.
Using a screwdriver, turn locking ring
through 90° to ensure that cable is
gripped tightly.

Open casing of the FC RJ45 plug
and insert wires according to color
coding as far as the end stop.
Strip the IE FC cable 2x2 using stripping
tool and fan out the wires according to
color coding on the contact cover
of the FC RJ45 plug.
