Easy to Terminate

The 3M Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug is based on the standard RJ45 pin profile and

was developed specifically for use in rugged industrial IP 20 environments using

double-shielded, four twisted pair enhanced category 5 (Cat5e) cabling. 3M’s 50-year,

award-winning, insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology incorporated into

the RJ45 modular plug allows a reliable and easy termination process without the need

to strip the wires. This RJ45 modular plug can be terminated in the field using only a

pair of pliers. The plug is compact at 44 mm long and has a robust design that helps

reduce the likelihood of the latch breaking during multiple insertion and withdrawal

cycles. All components of the field terminable Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug are

provided in a convenient blister pack.

The 3M Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug is designed to be used mainly in industrial

atmospheres as an interface for industrial ethernet. More and more industrial

appliances are connected and controlled using ethernet technology to optimize

factory and process automation. However, a more noise-tolerant and robust-structured

modular plug is required compared to a common office LAN application. The

modular plugs and cables must have a strong shielded structure and be designed to

work in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration, etc.

Typical applications include industrial machinery:
