L-com's New 8x8 (RJ45) Plugs Designed to Terminate Large OD Conductors
L-com's New 8x8 (RJ45) Plugs Designed to Terminate Large OD Conductors NORTH ANDOVER, MA - 01/25/13 - L-com, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, now stocks an RJ45 (8x8) connector specifically designed to terminate conductors in a range of 0.044" to 0.048" (1.1 to 1.2 mm). It includes a metallic strain relief that accepts large OD cables of up to 0.310" (7.9 mm). The new plug is shielded, Category 6 rated for up to 1 Gbps transmission (and backwards compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 5), has a load bar for an easy termination and is sold either individually or in packages of 10. Most Category 6 plugs are designed to terminate on conductors that range from 0.037" to 0.042" (0.94 to 1.07mm). However, some heavy-duty industrial or outdoor rated cables, such as L-com's TFDL5089 bulk cable, utilize thicker conductors to improve a variety of factors such as flexibility and durability. These cables have typically required factory termination. L-com's new plug allows users to terminate their own cable assemblies at work sites or in the field. "Our customers were looking for a solution for using industrial bulk cable in situations where you can't pre-terminate the cable assembly," said David Gallagher, Product Manager. "We now offer such a solution." The new plug is stocked in L-com's North Andover, MA, distribution center for same day shipment.
