Connectors upgrade harsh area Ethernet
Ethernet connection for harsh-environment applications is claimed to be faster, more economical and offers higher performance than existing types.
The RJFast Ethernet connection for harsh-environment applications is claimed to be faster, more economical and offers higher performance (up to Cat6 available) than existing solutions (including M12) This new process, based on a genuine standard (RJ45), is quicker to implement (no crimping), has better performance (capable of transmitting up to 1Gbit/s) and is more economical overall than M12 connections

Connector turns RJ45 to industrial Ethernet
Amphenol Socapex has launched a new industrial Ethernet connector range for harsh environment Ethernet.
Connector takes USB into industrial environments
A novel interconnection system allows designers to employ a standard USB cordset in a harsh environments.
RJFast is the only system on the market capable of converting a standard RJ45 cable into a Cat6 Ethernet connector compatible with industrial environments (including IP67) in a few seconds, without tedious, long and costly crimping.
The principle is straightforward: just clip the RJ45 cable into the RJFast housing.
This forms a connector that locks directly onto its female receptacle.
This operation is very simple.
It does not require tools or crimping.
RJFast is part of the RJ Field connectors range and is based on the RJ Stop patent.
The connection obtained has IP67 protection rating, a tensile strength of 70N, and passes a 1000h salt spray test.
It is rated to UL94V0 fire protection and withstands temperatures from -40 to +85C.
It has many applications in both long production runs and small batches: telecomms equipment, video surveillance, robotics, process control, machine-tool control etc RJFast is outstanding in the width of its range.
RJFast can be used in Cat5e class D and Cat6 class E cabling for 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT networks.
The range can be supplied with or without shielding.
It is available in Cat5e with straight, angle, RJ45 cable and PCB-solderable leads, and in Cat6 with self-stripping leads.
