Watertight extension to Ethernet
connector range
The RJ-Lnxx range of IP67 rated industrial RJ45 connectors has been extended to include both male and female overmoulded versions.
The RJ-Lnxx range of IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ45 connectors that enables Ethernet and other datacommunication protocols to be used for industrial field devices has been extended to include both male and female overmoulded versions Now available in the UK from Aerco, fully tested cable assemblies can be provided, in any cable length, that ensure the high signal integrity over the extremely high data rates used in this type of application

RJ-45 connector allows Ethernet on field devices
Now available in the UK from Aerco is a new industrial RJ-45 connection system that for the first time enables Ethernet and other data communication protocols to be used for industrial field devices.
Industrial Ethernet connector aids port security
The RJ-Lnxx from Aerco is industry's first IP67 sealed RJ-45 connector that extends Ethernet from boardroom to the factory floor.
This is far more reliable than relying on field installed, hand terminated cables and connectors.
The RJ-Lnxx system was industry's first RJ45 connector that extended Ethernet from boardroom to the factory floor, and the range has been progressively expanded to become the most comprehensive currently available.
While 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.
Compatible with standard RJ45 components, RJ-Lnxx provides a robust, secure connection for machine control and monitoring equipment operating in harsh environments where standard RJ45 connectors are unsuitable.
The design is highly suitable for factories and other applications such as oil fields, stadium and concert halls, railroads and marinas.
Shielded versions are available as standard for protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) together with a range of custom designed Cat 5e cables to survive in harsh environments.
