B Series Plastic Female Female 22 mm RJ45
The BRJ45 gives a machine or panel a proper front-facing ethernet port, letting engineers plug in a laptop for diagnostics or connect straight to SCADA and data acquisition systems without opening the enclosure. Its IP65 rating keeps that connection point dust- and splash-protected between uses, unlike a bare unprotected socket.
Technical Details
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a standard network cable feedthrough, or does it need special cable?
It works with standard RJ45 network cable on both sides — one plugs into your internal control system, the other is available for an engineer's laptop or external network connection.
Does it support gigabit ethernet speeds?
The listing doesn't specify a speed rating (Cat5e/Cat6), so if you need guaranteed gigabit throughput, confirm the cable and cabling standard you're pairing it with meets your required speed — the socket itself is a straight-through connector rather than a speed-limiting component.
Is it suitable for washdown or outdoor panel mounting?
Yes — IP65 rated, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets when not in use.
How many times can I plug/unplug it before it wears out?
It's rated for 500 mating cycles, which comfortably covers occasional engineer access over the life of most installations.
Industry Applications
- Machine diagnostics & servicing — quick laptop access for engineers without opening the panel
- SCADA & data acquisition — permanent or semi-permanent connection point for monitoring systems
- Remote monitoring installations — front-panel network access on equipment in washdown or dusty environments
