METZ E-DAT Industry IP67 V1 AP + RJ45 Field Jack Insert Cat.6A Class EA, T568B

The METZ E-DAT Industry IP67 V1 AP + RJ45 field jack insert is a robust, fully shielded RJ45 jack designed for industrial Ethernet applications requiring high reliability and environmental protection. This Cat.6A (Class EA) component supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and is compliant with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, and TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards. It features a tool-less IDC termination for solid and stranded cables, making installation quick and easy. The die-cast zinc housing with nickel plating ensures durability, while the gold-plated contacts guarantee reliable connections over at least 750 mating cycles. With IP67 protection when mated with appropriate housings, this insert is ideal for harsh environments. It supports PoE+ and PoE++ (IEEE 802.3at/bt Type 3 & 4) for power over Ethernet applications.

Advantages

Tool-less termination reduces installation time and effort. Fully shielded design minimizes electromagnetic interference. IP67 rating ensures dust and water resistance for outdoor or industrial use. Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) suits extreme conditions. Compatible with E-DAT Industry V1 AP housings for flexible mounting.
