Ethernet Connector System

The patented RJ45-ECS Ethernet connector system available exclusively from Laird

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 which passes an RJ45 connector

and seals the cable to IP67 requirements. The system 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 many 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 provide maximum shielding against external EMI for

consistent data communications.

For modern wireless systems the quick disconnect feature allows for ready replacement of

rooftop equipment to minimize field time spent servicing customer's equipment and minimizing

downtime for the customer. This helps to increase operator profitability and customer satisfaction.
