Ethernet connector is quick to mate in
the field
New RJ45 connector can reduce Ethernet wiring time by as much as 80%, which can contribute to lower overall operational costs.
The new 750-975 Ethernet connector from Wago Corp is an eight-pole pluggable RJ45 connector that substantially reduces the time needed for Ethernet wiring Unlike traditional Ethernet connectors, the 750-975 features an insulation displacement contact that provides tool-free in-the-field conductor wiring - simply insert a pre-stripped conductor and lower the locking mechanism

A new cost-effective compact, industrial PC integrates all standard PC functions, including network and fieldbus interfaces, to seamlessly tie together the industrial/process automation and IT worlds.
"The 750-975's unique design makes it ideal for applications that are in close proximity to machines, such as those in suspended ceilings or distribution boxes because there is no need for expensive crimp tools or time-consuming preparation for the conductor ends", says Mark DeCramer, Product Manager for the Wago-I/O-System.

The pluggable RJ45 connector offers IP20 protection for conductors ranging in sisz from AWG 26-23, and colour-coded IDC terminations provide instant conductor recognition.
The connector accommodates both shielded (UTP) and unshielded (STP) conductors and the transmission rates meet Category 5e requirements (according to ISO/IEC11801 and EN50173-1) for high signal integrity.
The 750-975's contacts are vibration-proof, pull-out resistant and gastight while offering the additional convenience of being rewireable.
