The Weidmuller SteadyTec Field Assembled RJ45 Connector is a robust CAT6 rated connector which can be terminated without the need for a crimper. Unlike other connectors, Weidmuller’s connector utilises all 8 cores of the Ethernet cable which allows for use in gigabit and PoE applications.
Features of the connector include:
- Tested to 750 plugging cycles.
- Can be re-terminated up to five times without any loss of functionality.
- Full metal connector passed through shielding from cable.
- Snag-less constructions means plastic lugs don’t get broken off.
- Able to be used in Profinet networks.
- 50 microns of gold plating on the contacts, standard domestic/commercial connectors come with <10 microns. This in conjunction with larger flatter pins means that the connector is much more durable and resistant to vibration.
