Microconnect KON526 wire connector RJ-45 Black

Wire Connector Microconnect KON526 RJ-45 Black by WENTRONIC is an outdoor CAT6 STP LAN connector designed for 8-wire connection, extension, repair or rerouting of data and LAN network cables. The compact connector replaces bulky junction boxes and is made with a PA66 plastic outer housing with integrated strain relief on both sides and IP68 protection for reliable outdoor and industrial use.

Advantages

The connector allows easy connection of network installation cables without special tools and provides increased protection against dirt and moisture for outdoor and industrial applications. It supports PoE+ according to IEEE 802.3at and has integrated shield connection and strain relief within the housing. The connector accepts solid conductors with diameters from 0.48 to 0.65 mm (AWG 22–26) or stranded conductors 7 × 0.16 to 7 × 0.20 mm (AWG 22–26), and is suitable for cable sheath diameters from 5.0 to 7.5 mm.

Suitable for

• Outdoor CAT6 STP LAN cable extensions and repairs
• Connecting or rerouting 8-wire Ethernet cables
• Industrial network installations requiring IP68 protection
• PoE+ powered devices compliant with IEEE 802.3at

How to use

Strip the cable sheath to expose the eight conductors and prepare them according to the standard wiring scheme required. Insert the conductors into the connector following the color code and push until secure; no special tools are required. Ensure the shield is connected if using STP cable and tighten the integrated strain relief on both sides to secure the cable. Close the outer housing and verify IP68 sealing for outdoor use before installing.

Recommendations

Use the connector with cables that match the specified conductor and sheath diameters. Verify proper wiring and shield connection for STP cables and test the network link after assembly. For long-term outdoor installations, periodically inspect seals and strain relief for signs of wear or damage.
