RJ-45 Connector Offers Tool-Free Wiring

The eight-pole 750-975 embarks as a pluggable, RJ-45 Ethernet connector that features insulation displacement contacts to provide tool-free, in-the-field conductor wiring. Users insert a pre-stripped conductor and lower the locking mechanism. The connector offers IP 20 protection for conductors ranging in size from AWG# 26 to 23 while color-coded IDC terminations provide conductor recognition. It supports both shielded (UTP) and unshielded (STP) conductors and transmission rates meet Category 5e requirements according to ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173-1. Additionally, contacts are vibration-proof, pullout resistant, and gas-tight. WAGO CORP., Germantown, WI. (800) 346-7245.
