Industrial Ethernet FC RJ45 Plugs are available in three designs:

• With 180° (straight) cable outlet

• With 145° (angled) cable outlet (SIMOTION and SINAMICS, for example)

• With 90° (angled) cable outlet (for ET 200S, for example)

They are used for optimized connection of Industrial Ethernet FastConnect cables to data terminals and network components. The plugs have a rugged, industry-compatible metal housing that provides optimum protection against faults in data communication.

The 4 integrated insulation displacement contacts make contacting of the FC cable variants easy and error-free. After the stripped cable end has been inserted into the insulation displacement terminations (which have been hinged open), the latter are pressed down for reliable contacting of the conductors.

Thanks to their compactness, the plug-in connectors (IE FC Plug 180°) can be used on devices with individual sockets and on devices with multiple sockets (blocks).

Data terminals with a suitable bracket on the housing provide additional tension and bending relief for the plug-in cable.
