Need a robust 8-pole Ethernet socket for network connections in tough environments? Give this RJ45 connector from Eaton a go. As it's a bulkhead type, it helps you safely route cables through upright partitions like walls. This female option pairs with any male RJ45 plug, so you'll find it's a breeze to use. A Cat5e rating means it's suitable for speedy Gigabit Ethernet applications working at up to 1000Mbps. You can count on the connector to take the heat in harsh industrial settings, thanks to its ambient temperature range of -25°C to +70°C.

• Mechanically earthed via screen earth kit to protect users from electric shocks
• Rugged titanium bezel resists wear and abrasion
• Compact M22 shell makes it a match for panel cut-outs with a 22.5mm diameter
• Mechanical lifespan of 750 cycles, so it's long-lasting

Yes, when an Ethernet cable is plugged in, the unit has an IP20 rating, meaning it's touch-safe. When no cable's plugged in and the unit's cover is over the connector, the assembly has an IP65 rating, so it'll handle dust and high-pressure jets like water off a duck's back.
