Connector RJ45 horizontal Cat5e PCB IP65 D TOP series - Neutrik NE8FDH-C5E-TOP

The Neutrik NE8FDH-C5E-TOP is a horizontal RJ45 PCB panel-mount connector compliant with C5E components and combined with the SE8FD-TOP sealing kit. It features a D-shaped metal flange with snap lock, a ground panel connection and included mounting screws; it accepts panels up to 4 mm thick. The etherCON series provides a ruggedised, lockable RJ45 connector system optimised for professional audio, video and lighting networking applications, with IP65 and UL 50E certification. Its shape fits standardised panels outside the entertainment industry. The D-series offers the most robust etherCON design and is suited to panel mounting and the installer market.

External protection is certified to UL 50E and the protection rating is IP65 when used with NE8MX-TOP or with the sealing cap closed. The connector uses high-impact, UV-resistant gasket materials. It accepts NE8MCX* or any standard RJ45 plug, with Class D or CAT5e wiring according to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA. The latch lock system is approved, and the connector can be mounted from the front of the panel.
