RJF RB Ethernet Connection System for Harsh Environment is a connection system for 10 BaseT, 100 BaseTX and 1000 BaseT networks of Cat 5e per TIA/EIA 568B and ClassD per ISO/IEC 11801 Cat6 per TIA/EIA 568B and ClassE per ISO/IEC 11801 in harsh environments.
The RJF RB system enables Ethernet Class D/Cat.5e and Class E/Cat.6 connections for 10 Base‑T, 100 Base‑TX and 1000 Base‑T networks in demanding settings. It uses a patented RJStop® composite plug that protects a standard RJ45 cordset from shocks, dust and fluids, eliminating the need for on‑field cabling and grounding.
Key features include IP67 sealing, resistance to shock, vibration and traction, a reverse bayonet coupling, 70 N cordset retention force, and up to 500 mating cycles. The system is rated for –40 °C to +85 °C operation, complies with UL94 V0 fire‑retardant standards, and withstands salt‑spray exposure over 1000 hours.
