3R108 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) 3M Electronics – 3M Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug

3M^™ Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug, 3R108 Series
The 3M Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug is based on the standard RJ45 pin profile and
was developed specifically for use in rugged industrial IP 20 environments using
double-shielded, four twisted pair enhanced category 5 (Cat5e) cabling. 3M’s 50-year,
award-winning, insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology incorporated into
the RJ45 modular plug allows a reliable and easy termination process without the need
to strip the wires. This RJ45 modular plug can be terminated in the field using only a
pair of pliers. The plug is compact at 44 mm long and has a robust design that helps
reduce the likelihood of the latch breaking during multiple insertion and withdrawal
cycles. All components of the field terminable Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug are
provided in a convenient blister pack.
3M^™ Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug
The 3M Industrial RJ45 Modular Plug is designed to be used mainly in industrial
atmospheres as an interface for industrial ethernet. More and more industrial
appliances are connected and controlled using ethernet technology to optimize
factory and process automation. However, a more noise-tolerant and robust-structured
modular plug is required compared to a common office LAN application. The
modular plugs and cables must have a strong shielded structure and be designed to
work in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration, etc.
Typical applications include industrial machinery:
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLCs)
• Remote I/Os
• Human Machine Interface (HMIs)
• Industrial PCs
• Industrial Robots
• Inspection Cameras
