RJ45 CAT 5e/6A Ethernet

The SuperSeal™ family of ruggedized CAT 5e and 6A SuperNine connectors are IP68 rated in the mated condition for reliable environmental field use. SuperSeal™ connectors provide military grade protection and durability for operational use under harsh environmental conditions. SuperSeal™ connectors benefit from increased operating temperature range, longer life cycle and, significantly improved vibration and shock performance. CAT 5e and 6A RJ45 Ethernet is the standard data communication protocol for gathering, distribution and sharing of C4ISR information to and from command and field units within military, police fire and rescue organizations. SuperSeal™ provides key performance benefits including superior sealing, grounding, and wire termination for more flexible and reliable communications in rugged field applications.

Glass-Sealed Hermetic RJ45 Connectors

SuperSeal RJ45 connectors are IP67 open face rated and IP68 in the mated condition for complete protection in harsh environments. SuperSeal connector styles include plug, wall mount and jam-nut receptacles. Wall mount receptacles are available with slotted holes, round holes and metric clinch nuts. All SuperSeal shells offer inline shielding and receptacle shells offer optional shell grounding. Any shell can be ordered with straight or right angle cable exit. RJ45 jack can be ordered in 1 of 4 available orientations to provide further security against mis-mating and accommodate existing RJ45 orientations. RJ45 connector end may be ordered as plug, jack or with flying leads in straight or right angle configurations. Maximum overall length is 100 feet. Consult factory for ordering information.

Transient Voltage E-25 Suppression (TVS) RJ45 Connectors

Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) technologies are designed to shunt voltage transients directly to ground before such surges can damage sensitive electronic equipment. Individual TVS diodes as well as diode modules are incorporated directly into the TVS filter connector package to provide optimal protection for either individual contacts or groups of contacts without significant increases in connector size or weight. RTCA DO-160 and other electrical performance standards define acceptable benchmarks for withstanding electromagnetic pulse, lightning strike, or other induced voltage surges in high-reliability systems. For high-speed signals, care must be taken in selecting diodes to minimize capacitance loading effects which can lead to signal loss. Glenair SuperSeal™ TVS-equipped RJ45 connectors have been engineered to transmit high-speed signals while providing indirect lightning strike protection in accordance with the RTCA DO-160 standard.
