January 12, 2011 - CONEC announces water-resistant connectors for Ethernet I/O ports. The IP67-rated connectors allow designers to incorporate these popular data ports in harsh environments. Ideal for applications such as industrial machinery, security and surveillance equipment, test and measurement equipment, and GPS systems and communications, the connectors provide increased protection from contamination and moisture in addition to mechanical stability, temperature resistance, vibration immunity and EMI/RFI shielding.The IP67-rated RJ45 product family features a 1/6th turn bayonet coupling for fast and secure mate/unmate, even with gloved hands.
To optimize chemical resistance, UV resistance, EMI shielding, and tolerance to physical abuse, CONEC offers these connectors in three different housing materials: plastic (with color code options black, blue, green, yellow, red, white), metalized plastic and nickel-plated, zinc die-cast.
In addition, CONEC ensures high performance with gold-plated contacts.The product line includes a variety of panel-mounted receptacles, mating plugs, protective caps and pre-terminated jumper cables including cables suitable for outdoor use and direct burial with jackets that can be color coded to match the in-line couplers.The IP67 RJ45 connectors ensure a continuously secure connection and are dustproof and weatherproof, with a silicone ring seal that makes a watertight connection to the panel.The connectors are available from $8 each in OEM quantities, with a lead-time of stock to four weeks
