Punch down and earth strap for connector
The RJ-LnxxT IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ-45 connectors, available in the UK from Aerco, are now available with IDC punch down and earth strap terminations.
In addition, composite accessories are 40% lighter than aluminium products and approximately 80% lighter than stainless steel while maintaining superior strength.
The backshells are provided with self-locking coupling nuts and, as they are less prone to harmonic resonance, they are far less likely to vibrate loose when subjected to prolonged periods of vibration and shock than metal versions.
Glenair backshells can be supplied with an electrically conductive metal finish in either cadmium or electroless nickel to meet requirements of RFI/EMI shielding.
Styles include straight and 90 degree clamps and band-it adaptors.
All Glenair backshells are available from Aerco with no minimum order quantity.
