Increase the reach of USB devices. Connect the transmitter and receiver with an Ethernet cord (sold separately), minimizing signal loss over long runs. USB ports are backward compatible, so they work with cords and connectors that meet the same or a lower USB standard.

Use these connectors and cords to make Ethernet connections.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Crimpers (sold separately) are required for wire installation. Ratcheting crimpers ensure the correct pressure is applied to every crimp.

Protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference. Pull wires all the way through the connector face, and then use the crimper to cut and crimp wires in one step.

Crimpers (sold separately) are required for wire installation. Ratcheting crimpers ensure the correct pressure is applied to every crimp.

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.

These sockets have a 110 punch-down connection; use a punch-down tool to terminate. They can be snapped in to keystone wall plates.

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 offer strain relief and keep the cable securely attached in applications that require frequent movement, such as robotics.

Plugs with an adjustable-angle elbow let you choose a 0°-90° bend angle while installing. Good when space is tight around the port, you can rotate them into 32 positions.

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. To unlock them, slide the sleeve on the plug back and pull them apart. Unlike standard plastic-tabbed RJ45 connectors, these have a tight hold that resists vibration. They also have a cord grip that keeps your Ethernet cable connected to the plug, even if it’s pulled or snagged. All of these connectors are shielded to block electromagnetic interference (EMI). IP65 and IP67 rated, they stand up to dust, low-pressure washdowns, and brief submersion.

To prevent unplanned disconnects, connectors with a plastic housing have a locking ring that keeps the sleeve on the plug from accidentally being pulled back. These connectors fit into rectangular panel cutouts. Add ID clips for color coding, so you can spot which connectors are for certain lines or applications at a glance.

Connectors with a nickel-plated zinc housing fit into round panel cutouts, which are easier to punch out in the field than rectangular panel cutouts.

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