• Implementation of direct device connections of up to 90 m with Industrial Ethernet FC installation cable 4 x 2 without using patch technology
• Easy connection (insulation displacement contacts) for 8-core twisted pair installation cables (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) without the need for special tools
• Error-minimizing connection technique thanks to visible connection area as well as colored insulation displacement termination
• Industry-compatible design (rugged metal housing, no easily lost small parts)
• Excellent EMC shielding and deflection (metal housing)
• Integrated strain-relief for installation cables
• Compatible with the EN 50173 (RJ45) / ISO IEC 11801 standard
• Additional strain and bending relief of plug connector possible through latching of plug on device housing, e.g. with SCALANCE X, SCALANCE S.

• Ideal solution for installation of RJ45 plugs in the field
• Time-saving, error-free installation due to FastConnect system
• Noise-resistant RJ45 plug connector due to rugged metal housing
• Reliable shield attachment and strain relief are integrated
• Mistakes are prevented thanks to color coding and the transparent contact cover
• Coordinated system comprising Industrial Ethernet FastConnect plug-in connectors and an extensive range of FastConnect cables with corresponding UL approvals

The compact, rugged design of the connectors makes the FC RJ45 Plug suitable for use in both industrial environments and on office equipment.

The Industrial Ethernet FastConnect RJ45 Plug 4 x 2 permits quick and easy installation of the Industrial Ethernet FastConnect installation cables 2 x 4 (8-core twisted pair cables) in the field.

The Industrial Ethernet FastConnect Stripping Tool for preparing the end of a cable (stripping the jacket and shield in one step) allows simple handling and fast, reliable fitting of the cable connector to the cable. As all the cable connector parts are captive, it can also be fitted in difficult conditions.

The new plug-in connector enables point-to-point links to be implemented (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for Industrial Ethernet between two data terminals/network components up to 90 m apart without the need for patches.

Use of FastConnect cables 4 x 2 with IE FC RJ45 plug 4 x 2

The Industrial Ethernet FC RJ45 Plug 4 x 2 is available with a 180° (straight) cable outlet.

It is the ideal method of connecting an Industrial Ethernet FastConnect cable to data terminals and network components. The plug has a rugged, industry-compatible metal housing that provides optimum protection against faults in data communication.

The eight integrated insulation displacement contacts make contacting of the FC cable variants 4 x 2 and 2 x 2 easy and error-free. After the stripped cable end has been inserted in the insulation displacement terminals, the conductors make contact when the casing is closed.

Owing to their compact size, the plug connectors can be used both on devices with individual jacks and on devices with multiple jacks (blocks).

Data terminals with a suitable bracket on the housing provide additional tension and bending relief for the plug-in cable.

The IE FC RJ45 Plug 4 x 2 is used to install uncrossed 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet connections up to 90 m without the use of patches. Crossed cables can also be installed by swapping the transmit and receive pair in a plug.

With the casing open, colored markers on the contact element make it simple to connect the cores to the insulation displacement contacts. The transparent synthetic material of the contact element allows users to check the contacts themselves.
