Solutions designed for harsh environment usage from hospitals to chemical refineries and are capable of high protection levels from dust, dirt and moisture.

Overview

The Industrial Solution provides UTP (RJ45 - Enhanced Category 5) and Optical Fibre (LC - OM1, OM2, OM3 & OS1) performance in the harshest environments. Specifically designed for installations within hospitals, chemical refineries, manufacturing facilities, water treatment plants, transportation hubs and food and beverage facilities, our Industrial Solution meets and exceeds the IP67 and NEMA 6P ratings for protection against dust, contaminants and water.

To ensure optimum protection and performance, the connectors feature a bayonet style latch receptacle for quick and easy connection and proper mating depth. The latching mechanism provides one sealing surface, which protects the connector from dust, moisture, dirt, vibration, chemicals, electromagnetic interference and temperature extremes - reducing the likelihood of product failure.

The total Industrial Solution includes Copper and Fibre Connectors, Patch Cords and Wallplates.

FAQs

How does the Molex Industrial solution meet the needs of demanding harsh/commercial environments?
The industrial complex generally provides a harsher environment than that of a commercial office premises and therefore issues with vibration and shock, dust, moisture, temperature, chemicals, corrosives and contaminants, and electromagnetic interference will be encountered. The general requirement for a connector-housing is that it meets the IP 67 rating to seal against ingress of dust and moisture from humidity or direct contact with liquids. This rating is the highest for dust and second highest for moisture - Molex meets and exceeds this rating.

What about supporting an ethernet protocol in such an environment?
The connectors now have RJ-45 connector receptacles that are ideal for use in harsh environments where the Ethernet protocol is to be supported. Designed with one sealing surface on the plug connector interface, the connectors ensure optimum performance even in harsh dust and moisture environments.
