Eight-pin RJ 45 plug connector needs no tools

Plug connector is believed to be the world's first eight-pin Cat 5e RJ45 plug connector that requires no tools to assemble and is suitable for Ethernet systems such as Profinet and Ethernet/IP.
The Variosub RJ45 Quickon plug connector from Phoenix Contact is the world's first 8-pin Cat 5e RJ45 plug connector that requires no tools to assemble. Its standards conforming design is suitable for industrial Ethernet transmissions, Ethernet-based fieldbuses such as profinet and Ethernet/IP and for regular office and Gigabit Ethernet use. It completes the range of various field plug connectors in IP20/67 for USB, Firewire and Fibre Optic.

Assembling using the insulation displacement technique requires no tools.

According to the orientation in pairs, the wires are easily inserted in the chambers and pressed into the displacement terminals when the fitting the cap.

The plug connector is pre-assembled, which means positioning it is unnecessary and small parts will not be lost.

Therefore, installation is easily possible even under adverse site conditions.

Well shielded against high EMC conditions, this plug connector can accept both flexible and rigid wires from AWG 26 to AWG 22.

With a maximum cable diameter of 8mm and its additional cable glands, the plug connector is especially suitable for robust Ethernet cables in the industrial environment.
