Data Connectors

Unshielded Easy-Install Crimp-On Data Connectors

Pull wires all the way through the connector face, and then use the crimper to cut and crimp wires in one step.

Shielded Easy-Install Crimp-On Data Connectors

Protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference.

Unshielded Crimp-On Data Connectors

Use an Ethernet cable crimper to terminate these plugs.

Shielded Crimp-On Data Connectors

Protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference.

Shielded Snap-On Data Connectors

Protect equipment from electromagnetic interference.

Unshielded Snap-On Data Connectors

The snap-on wire connection pierces the insulation to eliminate the need for wire stripping.

Panel-Mount Ethernet Connectors

Install these connectors in a panel cutout to create a port for transferring data.

Shielded Punch-Down Data Connectors

Protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference.

Unshielded Punch-Down Data Connectors

These sockets have a 110 punch-down connection; use a punch-down tool to terminate.

Circuit Board Data Connectors

Add RJ45 connectors to circuit boards.

Circuit Board ix Industrial Connectors

Add ix Industrial connections to printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Push-to-Lock Data Connectors

Push these connectors together for secure Ethernet connections that are quick and easy to connect and disconnect with just one hand. You’ll know when the plug and socket are locked in place when you hear a click.

Data Connector Repair Clips

Instead of tossing Ethernet cords with a broken locking tab on their RJ45 plug, fix them with these clips.

M8 Ethernet Connectors

A threaded M8 end on these connectors keeps contaminants out and withstands vibration better than RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords.

Ethernet Port Security Clips

Lock Ethernet cords in place to prevent unauthorized removal from ports.

Washdown Data, Audio, and Video Connectors

Screw-Together Wet-Location
RJ45 Connectors and Cords

Use these connectors and cords to make Ethernet connections in wet location environments.

Micro M12 Screw-Together Ethernet Connectors

Unlike traditional RJ45 connectors found in data centers, these connectors stand up to rugged industrial environments since they tightly thread to devices with M12 connections, sealing out contaminants and resisting shaking loose from vibration. Use them to transfer high-speed data between sensors, switches, computers, IO modules, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other equipment.

Latching Washdown RJ45 Connectors

Protect connections in washdown environments while maintaining access—these RJ45 plugs and adapters latch together securely, yet quickly detach.

Data, Audio, and Video Adapters

Panel-Mount Ethernet Adapters

Mount these adapters in a panel cutout.

Shielded Data Adapters

Protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference.

Unshielded Data Adapters

Join two Ethernet cords—these adapters have an RJ45 female connection on both ends.

Data Adapters for Keystone Wall Plates

Create various data connector configurations by snapping these adapters into the ports of keystone wall plates.

USB Adapters

Transmit data between computers, connect two like cables, or connect devices that have different USB sizes or styles.

USB Extenders

Extend the reach of USB devices.

Ethernet Cords

Use these unshielded cords where signal interference is not a concern.

Shielded Ethernet Cords

The shielding blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Ethernet Cords with M12 Connectors

The M12 threaded connectors on these cords are more vibration resistant than RJ45 connectors.

Shielded Panel-Mount Ethernet Cords

Often used in labs, storage facilities, and offices, the shielding blocks low to moderate signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. These cords have a flange on the socket end to mount them in a panel cutout.

Panel-Mount Ethernet Cords

Use these unshielded cords where signal interference is not a concern.

Ethernet Cords with M12 and RJ45 Connectors

To send high-speed data in tough, rugged environments, these cords have an M12 connector on one end that threads onto switches, sensors, and other devices prone to vibration. The other end has a traditional RJ45 plug that connects to Ethernet equipment, such as computers, IO modules, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Ethernet Cords with M8 and RJ45 Connectors

Send high-speed data between sensors, switches, or I/O modules with an M8 connection and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and computers with a traditional RJ45 connection.

Ethernet Cords with M8 Connectors

Unlike the RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords, the threaded M8 ends on these cords keep contaminants out and resist coming loose from vibration.

Single Pair Ethernet Cords

These cords contain a single pair of twisted wires, making them lighter and more flexible than other Ethernet cords. They’re good for transportation, robotics, and automation applications.

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. They have an RJ45 plug on each end.

Ethernet Cords with Adjustable-Angle Connectors

The plugs on these cords pivot up to 90° in each direction to fit Ethernet jacks at awkward angles or in tight spots, such as behind equipment or in enclosures.

ix Industrial Cords

Securely connect equipment in data or signal applications. These cords have A- or B-coded plugs to meet the needs of your device.

Profibus Cords

Often used in assembly line networks and Fieldbus connections, these cords have B-coded M12 connections.

Ethernet Port Plugs

Shield unused RJ45 type ports on computers and other electronic equipment from debris and moisture.

Data Keystone Wall Plates

Create various data connector configurations by choosing adapters to snap into the ports in these wall plates.
