FAQs
What are ethernet couplers and ethernet adapters used for in network applications?
Ethernet couplers and ethernet adapters support voice, video, and data applications in industrial and commercial environments. Our product range includes modular couplers, D-sub connectors, Harmonica-style RJ21 adapters, M12 and M8 panel mount receptacles, modular 'T' and 'Y' adapters, DSL line conditioners, and protective jack covers. These products provide reliable, high-performance connectivity meeting the diverse needs of modern network installations.
How do M12 connectors differ from M8 connectors in industrial applications?
M12 connectors are offered in 4-pin, 5-pin, and 8-pin configurations, ideal for use in automation systems, sensors, and industrial Ethernet networks. M8 connectors provide shielded connectivity for industrial and commercial networks. Both are available in leaded forms, panel and PCB mount configurations, and in D-coded, A-coded, or X-coded versions, ensuring high signal integrity in demanding environments.
What coding types should be specified for M12 ethernet connectors?
L-com offers M12 connectors in D-coded, A-coded, or X-coded versions. These connectors are available in 4-pin, 5-pin, and 8-pin configurations and provide shielded connectivity for industrial and commercial networks. The connectors ensure high signal integrity for automation systems, sensors, and industrial Ethernet networks.
Can Y adapters support multiple device connections in voice and data applications?
L-com's Ethernet splitters support voice and data applications, offering modular Y-adapters, 4-way adapters, and shielded 2-way RJ45 modular Y-adapters for efficient connection splitting. These splitters allow up to three devices to be connected through a single jack while maintaining high-speed data transmission.
What IP ratings are available for harsh environment ethernet couplers?
L-com offers IP67-rated shielded bulkhead couplers with dust caps for reliable performance in harsh environments prone to moisture, dust, and vibration. We also provide IP67 and IP68-rated couplers, such as flange mount, jam-nut, and in-line receptacles, which are dust- and water-resistant. These weatherproof Ethernet products are perfect for harsh environments, including military networks, manufacturing floors, and outdoor installations.
How do keystone-style ethernet couplers integrate into network installations?
L-com provides keystone-style couplers as part of our modular coupler offerings. These products ensure seamless integration into any network and are designed to support various wiring setups in both industrial and commercial environments.
What configurations are available for modular ethernet couplers?
L-com offers Ethernet couplers in various configurations, including modular RJ11, RJ12, and RJ45 couplers in Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a categories. L-com provides mini couplers, shielded and unshielded couplers, and both straight and right-angle versions to accommodate different wiring setups. Our products also include keystone-style couplers and both USOC and network-wired couplers.
What conversion capabilities do modular insert adapters provide?
L-com's modular insert adapters can convert RJ11/12 jacks to accept handset cables or RJ45 jacks to accept RJ11/RJ12 plugs, providing versatile solutions for space-saving installations. These adapters enable flexible connectivity options in voice and data applications.
