The FastConnect stripping technique supports fast and easy connection of the Industrial Ethernet FC cables

• IE FC RJ45 Plug (10/100/1000 Mbit/s)
• IE FC M12 Plug PRO (10/100/1000 Mbit/s)
• IE FC Outlet RJ45 (10/100 Mbit/s)
• IE FC RJ45 Modular Outlet (10/100/1000 Mbit/s)

The data terminals and network components are connected using outlets via TP Cords.

The Industrial Ethernet FastConnect cables are specially designed for use of the Industrial Ethernet FastConnect Stripping Tool, with which the outer insulation and the braided shield can be stripped accurately in one step. The prepared cable is then connected using insulation displacement.

Approvals

UL listing (safety standard) for network cables is especially necessary for the American and Canadian markets. The requirements for the appropriate approvals depend on where the cable is routed within the building. This applies to all cables which have to be routed from a machine to a remote control cabinet and are positioned on cable racks secured on the building. OFN/OFNG cable for routing in bundles (general purpose cable).

The various connectors and cables from the FastConnect cabling system can also be used in hazardous areas (EX-Zone 2). No special approval is necessary.
