AT 8FT ILME RJ45 insert to suit circular bulkhead cat.6

Why Choose the ILME AT 8FT RJ45 Cat.6 Data Connector?

The ILME AT 8FT is a female RJ45 Cat.6 data connector from the ILME AT adapters series, designed for integration into compatible circular bulkhead communication interfaces. It provides a convenient industrial Ethernet connection point for control panels, machinery and automation equipment where reliable access to an RJ45 network connection is required.

The AT 8FT uses an RJ45 female-to-female coupler, allowing standard RJ45 patch connections to be made on either side of the interface without field termination of the connector itself. Its Cat.6 specification makes it suitable for high-performance Ethernet communications, while the compact format is designed specifically for ILME's circular bulkhead interface system.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the AT 8FT provides at least 750 mating cycles, insulation resistance of at least 500 MΩ and contact resistance of no more than 20 mΩ. It operates across a wide -40 to +70 °C temperature range and features a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for dependable integration into professional electrical and automation installations.

Reliable Industrial Ethernet Connectivity

Bulkhead data interfaces provide a convenient method of accessing industrial Ethernet networks without opening an electrical cabinet or machinery enclosure. The ILME AT 8FT provides an RJ45 female-to-female connection, allowing compatible network cables to be connected through the interface while maintaining an organised separation between internal and external cabling.

The Cat.6 specification, low contact resistance and wide operating-temperature range make the AT 8FT well suited to industrial communication applications. When incorporated into the appropriate ILME bulkhead assembly, it provides a practical service, programming or permanent Ethernet connection point for machinery, control systems and automation equipment.
