PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Laird Technologies RJ45-ECS-4IN Outdoor Ethernet Connector System
The Laird Technologies RJ45-ECS-4IN, manufacturer part number RJ45-ECS-4, provides a removable Ethernet connection through an equipment enclosure. Its shielded RJ45 receptacle and 4-inch internal Cat5e pigtail support 10/100/1000BASE-T networks.
Designed for outdoor networking, surveillance installations and industrial equipment, the system combines a UV-resistant housing with a mating cable gland. Correct assembly provides IP67 sealing at the connection while allowing equipment to be disconnected for service.
Key Features
- 4-inch internal Ethernet pigtail for connections inside an enclosure.
- Shielded Cat5e construction supporting Gigabit Ethernet.
- Panel-mounted RJ45 receptacle with a mating cable gland.
- UV-resistant Nylon 66 housing.
- Positive bayonet coupling for secure connection and removal.
- IP67 sealing when installed according to the manufacturer drawing.
Ethernet Connectivity
The assembly connects an external RJ45 cable to equipment inside an enclosure through an internal RJ45 plug. Shielded cable and connectors help limit external electromagnetic interference.
Outdoor Design and Installation
The connector installs through a 20 mm enclosure opening. Confirm panel fit and internal cable clearance before installation.
Important: The manufacturer drawing requires moldable sealant tape, also called mastic tape, beneath the crush gland on the cable to achieve IP67 sealing. Follow the complete assembly instructions; the rating depends on correct installation.
Ideal Applications
- Ethernet connections through outdoor equipment enclosures.
- Wireless equipment installations requiring removable cable connections.
- Video surveillance equipment housings.
- Industrial automation enclosures exposed to dust or moisture.
Compatible Products
The RJ45-ECS-4 is intended for enclosure installations using RJ45 Ethernet connections. Installation requires a suitable 20 mm mounting opening, adequate panel clearance and sufficient internal space for the 4-inch pigtail.
No specific equipment models have been reliably confirmed as compatible in the reviewed documentation. Verify enclosure dimensions, mating plug clearance, cable jacket fit and sealing requirements before selecting this assembly.
Important: An RJ45 connection alone does not establish complete compatibility. PoE voltage, current capacity, supported PoE standards and maximum power were not reliably confirmed for this exact assembly. Obtain manufacturer confirmation before specifying it for a powered Ethernet installation.
