The connectors meet Category 5e performance requirements.

The eight-position connectors are available in plugs or receptacles, either shielded or unshielded, with end caps available to protect unmated connectors.

The quick-turn bayonet coupling and positive locking ring, which meet the requirement of IEC 61076-3-106 Variant 1, help provide reliable connections under harsh conditions.

The HBT sealing gaskets are UV resistant.

The connectors have an operating temperature range of -40C to 85C.

They are particularly suited to applications requiring extra mechanical and environmental robustness-including industrial machinery, diagnostic equipment, communications equipment, outdoor signs and theatrical audio/visual equipment for live outdoor events.

Standard-length cable assemblies are also available.
