Contribution to size reduction
The ix Industrial offers a reduced size of 75% compared to conventional RJ-45 modular solutions. This size reduction allows for reduced installation space. Parallel-mounting at P=10mm is possible

Single action lock design
The connector locks by simply inserting the plug into the receptacle. An audible click insures locking. The lock can be released by pushing a button on the plug leading to smooth removal

Robust design resistant to wrenching forces
The PCB-mounted receptacle shell is designed to minimize the influence of wrenching force from the plug on the mated surface. Additionally, the PCB-mounted shape is designed to protect the contacts. Stainless steel material is used for metal parts to enhance the mechanical strength

High EMC Resistance
Optimized shielding design guarantees high EMC resistance to secure safe data transmission

High Data Rate Transmission
Cat.5e (1Gbps) and Cat.6A (10Gbps) high-speed Ethernet performance

PIP (Pin-In-Paste) mounting possible
The receptacle shell is mounted at the through hole section of the PCB to enhance the mounting strength of the PCB. Both signal contact SMT and PIP mounting allows for reflow-mounting and reduction of man-hours required for board processing
