Panel-Mount Ethernet Adapters

Shown with Cap

Mount these adapters in a panel cutout. They have an RJ45 female connection on both ends to join two Ethernet cords.

Shielded adapters protect equipment from electromagnetic interference. Those that screw in don’t require additional drilled holes or fasteners to mount. They need a more precise panel cutout than adapters that screw on.

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

Zinc adapters are more durable than plastic adapters.

Add a cap to protect these adapters when not in use. Hinged caps open and shut quickly at a fixed angle, so they’re more convenient for frequent access than tethered caps. Tethered caps can open in any direction, letting you access adapters from any angle. IP40-rated caps have a locking mechanism for extra security.

Label holders (sold separately) snap onto the front of adapters.
