EFB Elektronik IP68 Cable Connector Cat.6A 10Gbit/s for AWG22/1-26/1 - IEC

The EFB Elektronik IP68 Cable Connector Cat.6A is a robust, field-installable RJ45 coupler designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in harsh environments. With IP68 dust-tight and waterproof protection, it ensures uninterrupted data transmission even under continuous immersion. Ideal for outdoor, industrial, and demanding applications, this connector supports PoE++ and is compatible with solid core cables from AWG22/1 to AWG26/1.

Advantages

Tool-less IDC termination simplifies installation, saving time and reducing errors. The fully shielded design (FTP/STP) minimizes electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing stable high-speed data transfer. Gold-plated contacts (50µ) provide corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. The PA66 housing withstands extreme temperatures (-20°C to +70°C) and mechanical stress.

Suitable for

• Outdoor network installations (e.g., surveillance cameras, access points)
• Industrial Ethernet connections in factories and automation
• Harsh environment applications requiring waterproof and dustproof connectivity
• Repair or extension of Cat.6A cables in challenging conditions
