L-com Releases New Ruggedized, IP68-Rated, Electroless Nickel Finish, Cat6 Receptacles, Plugs and Jam Nuts

The electroless nickel finish on these new interconnects offers extremely robust corrosion resistance. Excessive corrosion on interconnects can cause network downtime, intermittent connectivity and overall network performance loss. L-com's new IP68-rated interconnects are Category 6-rated and support network speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second. This new line includes IP68-rated receptacles, plugs, jam-nuts and flange mounts that are all RoHS compliant, shielded and grounded.

These new ruggedized interconnects were designed for use in outdoor, military and industrial connectivity applications where the harshest environments exist.

"Our customers in the oil and gas, energy, rail and marine industries required rugged interconnects that would stand up to extreme corrosive conditions while supporting high-speed network connectivity. To address these applications, we have just released this new line of electroless nickel finished products that are highly corrosion-resistant," said Dustin Guttadauro, Product Manager.

In addition to this new series of electroless nickel interconnects, L-com also offers a line of IP68 ruggedized receptacles, plugs, jam-nuts and flange mounts with anodized and zinc-nickel finishes to address a wide variety of harsh environment Ethernet applications.

L-com's new ruggedized, electroless nickel interconnects are in stock and available for immediate shipment.
