RJ45 patch cables for industrial applications unveiled

The Phoenix Contact portfolio now includes the new RJ45 patch cables for industrial applications. The RJ45 Industrial patch cable series, says the company, allows data speeds of up to 10 Gbps, in accordance with CAT5 and CAT6A, and is said to be particularly suitable for Industrial Ethernet and Profinet environments.

The connectors, with a standardised look and feel, with high-quality overmoulding and protected locking clip ensure robustness, and with the increased vibration resistance, make the patch cables ideal for industrial applications, Phoenix Contact states.

Up to five different cable outlet directions and a broad cable portfolio, including versions for drag chain and robot applications, open up versatile application opportunities. “With comprehensive CE, cULus, and EAC approvals, the RJ45 patch cables can be used anywhere in the world,” adds Phoenix Contact.
