Frequently Asked Questions

What Ethernet speeds does this connector support?

The 8 Ethernet contacts are wired for 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) operation using standard Cat5e/Cat6 twisted-pair mapping. Signal integrity is maintained through shielded contacts and the dedicated screen pin.

Can the power and Ethernet contacts be used simultaneously?

Yes -- all 13 contacts are fully independent. Power (up to 25 A per contact) and Ethernet data can be carried simultaneously without crosstalk, thanks to the shielded Ethernet insert design.

Is the screen/shield contact connected to the connector body?

The screen contact can be configured as either an isolated shield drain or connected to the stainless steel body ground. Specify your preferred arrangement when ordering.
