Shielded Snap-On Data Connectors

Straight with Cord Grip

Protect equipment from electromagnetic interference. Connectors have a snap-on wire connection that pierces the insulation to eliminate the need for wire stripping. A color-coded wiring guide allows for quick cable termination.

Plugs with a cord grip provide strain relief and keep the cable securely attached in applications that require frequent movement, such as robotics.

Latching Washdown RJ45 Connectors

Protect connections in washdown environments while maintaining access—these RJ45 plugs and adapters latch together securely, yet quickly detach. When mated, they’re rated IP67 for protection against washdowns. All are shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Plugs have a snap-on wire connection that pierces the insulation to eliminate the need for wire stripping.

Adapters have an attached cover to maintain the IP67 rating when not in use.
