RJ45 Cat.6 IP68 -adapteri EFB Elektronik malli IP68DFKRJ45WP – vesitiivis Ethernet-liitin

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 Cat.6 IP68 adapter is an outdoor-rated, waterproof cable connector with an integrated Cat.6 RJ45 jack designed for direct burial and exposed installations. It supports data transmission up to 250 MHz (ISO/IEC 11801 Class E) and speeds up to 5 Gbit/s, providing a sealed connection point for network cables in harsh environments.

Advantages

The connector offers IP68 protection for reliable waterproofing and dust resistance, a simple installation process, and a compact housing (121.5 mm × 28 mm). It accommodates cable diameters from 4.5 mm to 10 mm, includes an M16 cable gland, and is rated for a maximum voltage of 125 V and current up to 1.5 A. The integrated Cat.6 jack simplifies termination without exposing the internal connection to the environment.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet runs requiring waterproof junctions
• Direct-burial network cable connections
• Temporary or permanent installations in wet or dusty locations
• Field deployments where easy termination of Cat.6 cables is needed

How to use

Prepare the Ethernet cable by stripping the outer sheath to match the connector's insertion depth, insert the cable through the M16 cable gland, and terminate the conductors into the integrated Cat.6 RJ45 jack following standard wiring (TIA/EIA 568). Tighten the gland to ensure a watertight seal and close the housing according to the manufacturer's instructions. Verify the connection and test network performance after installation.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability, ensure the connector is installed on cables within the specified diameter range (4.5–10 mm) and that the M16 gland is correctly tightened. Avoid mechanical strain on the RJ45 jack and check seals periodically in environments subject to heavy moisture or soil movement.
