Delock RJ45 Female to RJ45 Female Cable Connector Cat.6A with M23.5 x 1.5 mm Thread and Protective Cap IP68 Dustproof and Waterproof Grey (87157)

The Delock RJ45 Female to RJ45 Female Cable Connector is a robust and reliable solution for extending or connecting Ethernet cables in demanding environments. Designed for Cat.6A performance, it supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) and is fully shielded (STP) to minimize electromagnetic interference. The connector features an M23.5 x 1.5 mm thread for secure panel mounting and includes a protective cap for added durability. With an IP68 rating, it is dustproof and waterproof, making it ideal for industrial, outdoor, and harsh environments. The connector is also PoE compatible (PoE, PoE+, UPoE), allowing power and data transmission over a single cable.

Advantages

This connector offers exceptional durability and performance in challenging conditions. Its IP68 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress, while the robust polycarbonate housing withstands extreme temperatures from -20 °C to 85 °C. The M23.5 thread allows for secure panel mounting, and the protective cap prevents damage when not in use. Backward compatible with Cat.6, Cat.5e, and Cat.5 cables, it provides flexibility for various network setups.
