Install these connectors in a panel cutout to create a port for transferring data. You use a punch-down tool to terminate, so there’s no need for wire stripping. To make setup quick and easy, these connectors come with a color-coded wiring guide.

Shielded connectors protect equipment from electromagnetic interference.

Choose unshielded connectors when signal interference isn’t a concern.

Add a cap to protect these connectors when not in use.

Add RJ45 connectors to circuit boards. These connectors are shielded for protection from electromagnetic interference.

The threaded end of these M8 connectors keeps contaminants out and withstands vibration better than RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords. They are often used with sensors, switches, and I/O modules. To protect against signal interference, these connectors are shielded. Connectors are Power over Ethernet (POE) enabled to carry data and power within one connector.

A-coded connectors work with EtherCAT connections that have the same pole configuration.

Connectors with a polyurethane cable bend easily, so they are ideal for applications that require continuous flexibility such as robotics. They also resist oil.

These connectors are IP rated when mated. IP67 rated connectors keep out dust and water from temporary submersion.

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.

NEMA 6 rated connectors and cords are protected against dust, washdowns, and temporary submersion.

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

Sockets with a 110 punch-down wire connection require a punch-down tool to terminate (not included).

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.

Adapters create a transition point between an M12 and RJ45 connection. Use them in panels or walls—your tough threaded connection on one side and your control panel and computer or PLC on the other.

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

Connectors with a screw-on wire connection, also known as field wireable connectors, do not require special tools like crimpers or soldering irons to attach to cables. Connectors with a snap-on wire connection pierce the wire’s insulation, which means you don’t need to strip it.

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.

Protect connections in washdown environments while maintaining access—these RJ45 plugs and adapters latch together securely, yet quickly detach. When mated, they’re rated IP65 and IP67 for protection against washdowns and temporary submersion. 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.

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.

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.
