Use these connectors and cords to make Ethernet connections.

IP67 rated connectors and cords are protected against dust and temporary submersion when mated.

For connectors and cords that are rated both IP67 and IP20, the screw-together plug is rated IP67, and the other plug is rated IP20 for protection against objects larger than 12.5 mm, such as fingers, when mated.

Shielded adapters prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) to minimize signal distortion.

Plugs with a crimp-on wire connection require an Ethernet cable crimper to terminate (not included).

Caps (sold separately) protect sockets and maintain the IP rating when not in use.

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. They can also power devices as they send data, so you don’t need a separate power cord. But, the device must be Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible. These connectors are often used with EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCAT systems. Since they’re shielded, they block signal interference from nearby devices, maintaining their speed and data integrity. Poles and keyways on the face adhere to standard coding layouts to reduce the chance you’ll mismatch connections.

When choosing an Ethernet connector, make sure you match or exceed your network’s category industry designation. These connectors are backward compatible—for example, a Category 6 connector will work in a Category 5 network, but it’ll only run at the Category 5 speed.

A-coded and X-coded connectors send data faster than D-coded connectors, so they’re best for robotics and other systems that run multi-step programs.

Y-coded connectors send both data and power to your device to reduce the number of cables needed.

90° elbow connectors run your cord along the side of equipment, so they fit behind machines and in tight spaces.

Connectors with polyurethane or TPE insulation resist chemicals, oil, and sunlight for outdoor use. Because they’re flexible, they’re good for jobs with continuous motion, such as robotics.

IP rated connectors keep out dust and can be used in wet areas when mated or capped. IP65 connectors can be lightly rinsed. IP67 connectors can be submerged temporarily.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

FDA compliant to safely touch food and threaded for a tight hold, these connectors won’t vibrate loose as they send high-speed data to sensors and other automated devices in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical plants. They stand up to brief submersion as well as high-heat washdowns and harsh cleaners common to food lines, thanks to their IP ratings, TPE insulation, and stainless steel and polypropylene housing. Their insulation also means they’re flexible and won’t break down from abrasion or UV exposure. Overall, they’re more rugged than traditional RJ45 connectors.

To reduce the risk of signal loss between equipment, these connectors block signal interference from nearby devices. Poles and keyways on their face adhere to standard coding layouts, keeping you from mis-mating connections. D coded, these connectors are often used within Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCat systems. They can also power devices as they send data, so you don’t need a separate power cord. But, your device must be Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible.
