VARIOSUB RJ45/IP20 Plug Connectors

VARIOSUB-RJ45/IP20 was developed for using RJ45 plug connectors in harsh industrial environments. With it, devices for Industrial Ethernet can also utilize the standard plug connectors of the IT world.
The VARIOSUB-RJ45/IP20 plug connector is suitable for use on devices, infrastructural components and control cabinets. It fulfills the requirements of IAONA for use in light duty areas and is suitable for Fast Ethernet transmission at 100 Mbit/s. Various female inserts and panel mounting frames are available for the equipment side, while there is a sleeve housing and a male insert for the conductor side.

The female inserts for PCB mounting and the panel mounting frames are built to the standard pitch dimension, which means existing PCB layouts can continue to be used and space-saving equipment designs are possible. In addition, commercially available male inserts can still be used. In this case, there is no need for adapter cables or other special solutions during startup and servicing.
The sleeve with its Push-Pull locking system safeguards the connection against mechanical stress, shocks and vibration. Also, it makes it possible to use cables with a diameter from 5 to 8.5 mm and a core cross section from AWG 24 to AWG 26 as solid or stranded conductors. This locking method saves space and provides ease of accessibility. It can be operated without tools and, when locked, provides the IP 20 degree of protection.
