The highly innovative entertainment industry is permanently evolving accompanied by increasing demands on interconnection systems. Particular environmentally sealed connectors are highly requested for heavy-duty and harsh environment applications of entertainment equipment like PA systems, signs and LED screens or lightings.
Neutrik took up the challenge and developed a new line of True Outdoor Protection (TOP) products for demanding outdoor applications. This new range includes the popular powerCON TRUE1, etherCON and XLR series. These rugged sealed connectors feature not only IP protection but also UV resistance approved according to UL50E.
The cable connector carrier consists of a velour chromium shell, chuck and boot. The boot is suitable for cable diameters from 5 - 8 mm. For non pre-assembled cables only. Cable connector carrier does not include a RJ45 plug.
The etherCON cable connector carrier upgrades a conventional RJ45 connector to an extremely robust, outdoor protected lockable solution (IP65 & UL50E).
ATTENTION: does not intermate with the CAT6 chassis connectors NE8FDY-C6 and NE8FDY-C6-B.
