RJ45 Cable Gland Feed-Thru Waterproof Jack — Shielded Grounded Connector with 7-inch Cable

Waterproof RJ45 cable gland connectors provide a sealed, field-replaceable Ethernet interface for network installations subject to moisture, dust, UV exposure, and corrosive environments. Designed for outdoor wireless equipment, IP camera installations, rooftop networking, and industrial automation systems, these connectors deliver IP67-rated protection while maintaining full compatibility with 10BaseT, 100BaseT, and 1000BaseT Ethernet standards. The system addresses the fundamental limitation of standard RJ45 connectors in harsh-environment deployments — reliable sealing without sacrificing serviceability.

The connector assembly consists of a UV-resistant housing with a 20 mm panel mounting hole (25 mm for the shielded variant), secured with a 27 mm spanner nut, and a pre-terminated Cat5e cable measuring 180 ± 10 mm with an installed RJ45 plug. The shielded version incorporates an 18 cm grounding cable, providing maximum EMI shielding for consistent signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments. The IP67 rating (IP66 for unshielded variants) ensures complete dust exclusion and protection against temporary water immersion — critical for installations exposed to rain, cleaning cycles, or condensation.

The quick-disconnect design accepts standard RJ45 plugs without tooling, enabling rapid replacement of rooftop or outdoor equipment and minimizing service downtime. Compatibility with Cat5e and Cat6 cabling integrates the connector into existing infrastructure without topology changes. Available variants — shielded and unshielded in black; unshielded in gray/beige — allow specification based on EMI requirements and installation aesthetics.

The product is specified by network integrators, surveillance system installers, industrial automation engineers, and IT infrastructure teams managing outdoor or harsh-environment deployments. Representative use cases include exterior IP camera mounting points, building-mounted wireless access nodes, production-line network connections requiring periodic wash-down compatibility, and any fixed Ethernet termination where watertight protection and field replaceability are concurrent requirements.
