Phoenix Contact FL Cat5 Terminal Box 2744610 - Industrial Ethernet Junction Box, DIN Rail, 1x RJ45, 8-Pole Screw Terminal, Green

The Phoenix Contact FL Cat5 Terminal Box 2744610 offers a compact, DIN-rail mountable solution for transitioning between CAT5 twisted pair cabling and screw terminal connections in industrial Ethernet and PROFINET networks. Unlike standard RJ45 couplers, this terminal box provides an integrated shield connection and a robust polyamide housing, ensuring reliable data transmission up to 100 Mbps in control cabinet environments.

Highlights

• Converts one RJ45 socket to an 8-position screw terminal block for easy field wiring
• Supports Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and PROFINET protocols
• DIN rail mounting on NS 35/7.5 or NS 35/15 for quick installation
• Integrated shield connection maintains signal integrity
• Operating temperature range from -20 °C to 70 °C

In daily use

This terminal box is ideal for industrial control cabinets where Ethernet cables must be terminated without crimping RJ45 plugs. The screw terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.14 to 1.5 mm² (AWG 26-16), providing a secure and serviceable connection. Its green polyamide housing is IP20 rated, making it suitable for protected indoor environments.
