New connector for 10 Gigabit Data Transmission T he new Y-ConPlug CAT6A is a 10Gbit RJ45 cable connector which widens up the range of the Yamaichi plug series for Gigabit and can be used with all of the Y-Con components. The CAT6A RJ45 connector supports 10 Gigabit data transmission according to the ISO/IEC 11801 standard. The development was necessary due to higher data transmission demands in the industrial area. Gigabit Ethernet is required by more and more applications. The RJ45 cable connecter is designed with integrated cable guide, EMC 46 shielding made of nickel-plated brass and a rectangular cable crimp that prevents cable rotation. The tested life is more than 1,000 mating cycles and the operating temperatures range from -40°C to +120°C for extreme operating conditions in the field or the plant. Within the Y-ConRJ45 series, the described component can additionally be protected against external mechanical environmental influences according to the protection classes IP69K, IP68, IP67 and IP20. Reliable protective covers made of high-grade materials such as PBT or zinc die-cast are part of the series. This gives the customer the flexibility to choose the right component for different applications. Like all Yamaichi products, it is also RoHS compliant. Characteristics • CAT6A acc.
