Robust RJ45 modules for industrial applications Phoenix Contact has now launched new RJ45 socket modules on to the market, in a compact design, suitable for industrial applications. Versions for DIN rail mounting as well as for inte- gration into existing panel mounting frames allow use in a wide range of possible applications. The socket modules are suitable for use as coupler modules between two RJ45 connectors as well as for direct connection of solid and stranded conductors (AWG26 ... 24). All versions are designed for 10GBASE-T applications, thereby enabling data rates of up to 10 Gbps over cabling distances of 55 metres in the case of coupling modules according to CAT6, up to 100 metres in the case of cable connection modules according to CAT6A. The zinc die-cast housing of the installation modules is free of halogens and heavy metals, in accordance with RoHS 2. Enquiries: Email info@phoenixcontact.co.za

Connect to power faster in the field In harsh environments, energy has to be dis- tributed safely even under difficult ambient conditions.This is where the QPD installation system from Phoenix Contact comes into its own as a robust solution for power distribu- tion. Installation is quick, easy, and flexible. This represents on-site time savings of up to 80%. Thanks to the convenient IDC insulation dis- placement connection, cables of up to 5 x 6,0 mm² can be connected without special tools. Voltages of up to 690 V and currents of up to 40 A can be transmitted with ease.Thanks to the high degree of protection (IP68/IP69K), the installation system also guarantees a safe and robust connection in harsh environments. The QPD installation system product range includes connectors and cable connectors, H- andT-distributors, and panel feed-throughs. This means that users can implement their own individual installation right through to the point of use. Enquiries: Email info@phoenixcontact.co.za
