LAPP ED-IE-90-6A-PN-20-FC Angled Cat.6A Industrial RJ45 Field-Termination Connector 21700638

Terminate solid or stranded industrial Ethernet cable up to 10 Gigabit speeds without tools — the LAPP ED-IE-90-6A-PN-20-FC delivers Cat.6A performance in a compact 90° angled RJ45 plug. Its zinc die-cast nickel-plated housing and shielded IDC contacts withstand harsh environments, while the 5.0–9.0 mm cable clamp accommodates a wide range of cable diameters. Field-attachable and reusable, this connector is built for fast, reliable on-site assembly in automation, machinery, and control cabinet applications.

Overview

This angled RJ45 plug is engineered for industrial Ethernet networks where space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable. The 90° cable exit reduces strain and allows connections in confined areas. With support for Power over Ethernet up to PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt), it can power devices directly through the data cable. The tool-free IDC termination accepts both solid conductors (AWG 24/1–22/1) and stranded conductors (AWG 26/7–22/7), making it versatile for different cable types. Its Cat.6A rating ensures full 10GBASE-T performance up to 500 MHz, compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA-568 standards.
