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.
Anyone who has tried to reach around the back of a TV set (especially if it is installed in a cabinet) and tried to line up and tighten an F connector linking the set to a cable TV system or to attach a VCR will know first hand just how difficult it can be.
X-RJAX simplifies this by providing a modular plug and jack combo similar to the one used to attach a telephone to a wall plate.
It just doesn't get any simpler than that.

Jacks and remote power for telecomms
New from Abacus Polar are three new component families embodying advanced magnetic technologies from Halo Electronics.
The female receptacles are available in cable mount or right-angle PCB mounting versions.
The cable mount versions are ideal for use with existing hardware systems, whereas the printed circuit board mount types must be designed and built into finished products by their manufacturers.
The cable mount connectors are available with coloured plastic covers to help in identifying the cables that mate into them.
There are different styles of male plugs as well.
There is a plug adapter which fastens to an existing cable by way of its integral connector and there is also a crimp style plug that can be installed and terminated in a shop or in the field.
Additionally there are coloured plastic plug boots that protect the plug at the same time providing a means for colour coding connections.
XMultiple provides several specialty products as well that compliment the basic system components.
Some of these include female-female inline couplers that allow the user to connect two cables that have male plugs on them.
These couplers are available in different colours to allow them to be matched to specific cable pairings.
New home construction today incorporates more and more connectivity features than ever before.
Telephone outlets are found in almost every room, and many homes come rewired for home theatre and whole-house music systems.
And this doesn't even begin to take into account the wiring for local area networks throughout the home.
XMultiple offers the X-RJAX in several different wallplate configurations to meet the needs of particular users or rooms.
Signal splitters, crimp tools, and FlexCable coaxial assemblies are also offered by XMultiple.
The splitters allow for one coaxial cable to be used to connect multiple devices.
The FlexCable assemblies provide a very flexible coaxial cable that is ideal for use in tight spaces where traditional, stiffer coax cables just cannot be used.
