Laird Technologies 4in RJ45 Waterproof Outdoor Ethernet Connector System

The patented RJ45-ECS Ethernet connector system, available exclusively from Laird Technologies, is a field-replaceable, outdoor-rated, and shielded Ethernet connection system for high-speed 10BaseT, 100BaseT, and 1000BaseT networks.

The system features a shielded RJ45 receptacle mounted in a UV-protected housing and a mating cable gland that passes an RJ45 connector and seals the cable to IP67 requirements. It provides for quick and easy disconnect and reconnect of equipment.

Because of its many unique design features and low cost, the RJ45-ECS is a universal solution for various industries where a sealed and waterproof, yet removable, Ethernet connection is required. These include outdoor applications such as wireless equipment or video surveillance equipment, and indoor applications such as equipment used in factory automation or harsh industrial processes.

RJ45 connectors are not designed for high reliability in the presence of moisture, dust, or corrosive elements. For this reason, the IP67 sealing ability of the RJ45-ECS provides a reliable connection, even in very harsh environments, for many years of trouble-free service. The shielded nature of the Cat5e cable and connectors provides maximum shielding against external EMI for consistent data communications.

For modern wireless systems, the quick disconnect feature allows for ready replacement of rooftop equipment, minimizing field time spent servicing customer equipment and reducing downtime for the customer. This helps increase operator profitability and customer satisfaction.
