Although Ethernet offers strong benefits in manufacturing, it is rarely used at this level because, until now, the connectors were not designed to withstand harsh environments.
The punch down version has been developed for those markets, principally data communications, where insulation displacement is commonly used.
The RJ-Lnxx punch down receptacle is available with either '110' or 'Krone' terminations.
The earth strap version is fitted with a high grade tinned copper braided earth lead with a 3.5mm ring terminal that allows receptacle shielded components to be grounded directly to the mounting panel or control cabinet.
This will be ideal for applications such as industrial automation monitoring and control, test and measurement.
Compatible with standard RJ-45 components, RJ-Lnxx connectors provide a robust, secure connection for machine control and monitoring equipment operating in harsh environments where standard RJ-45 connectors are unsuitable.
The design is highly suitable for factories and other applications such as oil fields, stadium and concert halls, railroads and marinas.
