Cat.6 RJ45 (8P8C) Ethernet Insulation-Displacement Connector
XLR-format and DualSLIM versions.
Front and rear mounting options.
From CLIFF™ Electronics.
CLIFF™ Electronics, announces a Cat.6 ethernet RJ45 insulation-displacement connector (IDC) which provides a panel-mounted, ethernet (RJ45), 8-way connector, commonly used in network applications, that users can hard-wire internally using the IDC contacts at the rear. The IDC system is ideal for on-site wiring in applications such as ethernet networks, audio and broadcast.
The new Cat.6 IDC joins the wide range of feedthrough connectors from CLIFF™ that can be assembled into an industry-standard, 24mm-diameter, XLR-format, connector-panel cut-out in an enclosure or 19″ rack panel. It is also available in the DualSLIM narrow mounting hole design where space is limited or more connectors are required on the panel. Using industry-standard panel cut-outs simplifies system design and assembly whilst improving aestheticsesthetics.
Other CLIFF™ feedthrough connectors use ready-made cables on either side of the panel whereas the new CAT6 IDC version allows hardwired connections.
With the rear cover removed, connecting wires are pushed into the corresponding numbered and colour-coded color-coded slots and then terminated using an IDC punch-down tool. The cover is snapped back for safety and to provide a degree of strain relief to the cable. The IDC connection method guarantees each connection being made quickly, accurately and securely with no soldering or crimping required.
IDC connection technology is popular, secure and simple...
The Product Development Team at CLIFF™ Electronics, comments, “IDC connection technology is a popular, secure and simple connection method for permanent wiring of a wide range of equipment. Mounting the commonly used Cat.6 IDC connector on the same industry-standard XLR-format connector frame as the rest of our successful feedthrough mounting connectors means it can be assembled alongside in a panel with the same cut-out required for all of them. We can also supply our connectors pre-assembled into rack panels offering systems integrators fast and convenient system assembly.”.
