An Aerco product story

The RJ-Lnxx IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ45 connectors, available in the UK from Aerco, are now available with IDC punch down and earth strap terminations.

RJ-Lnxx IP67 rated, sealed, industrial RJ45 connectors, available in the UK from Aerco, are now available with IDC punch down and earth strap terminations.

They are claimed to enable Ethernet and other datacommunications protocols to be used for industrial field devices.

The RJ-Lnxx system extends Ethernet from boardroom to the factory floor.

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.

The company believes that makes it suitable for applications such as industrial automation monitoring and control, test and measurement.

Compatible with standard RJ45 components, RJ-Lnxx connectors provide a robust, secure connection for machine control and monitoring equipment operating in harsh environments where standard RJ45 connectors are unsuitable.
