Samtec AccliMate sealed ethernet cable plug and receptacle system

Samtec has recently expanded its line of sealed interconnect systems with the AccliMate sealed rectangular ethernet cable plug and receptacle. The system is designed for industrial and other harsh environments with a silicon seal that meets IP68 specifications for dust and waterproof sealing.

The rectangular design saves space compared to traditional IP68 interconnects making the system particularly suited to smaller and lower profile applications. In addition, a push-to-seal positive latching system with audible click allows for easier mating and requires less space for mating connectors and cables.

AccliMate rectangular ethernet panel mount sockets (RPBE Series) meet CAT5e, CAT5, and CAT3 specifications and are available in either single- or dual-port designs. The cable plug (RCE Series) is available double-ended (both ends sealed) or with a blunt cut (one end sealed). The rugged 28AWG cable, with copper conductors and PVC jacket, comes in a choice of 2, 3 or 5 m assembled lengths. Dust caps for protection while the system is unmated are available for both cable plugs and sockets.
