Waterproof mating connector for MRJ598001 Rugged RJ45 Jack

The MRJ598001 Rugged RJ45 Jack is a panel mount assembly that is rated IP67, but I can't find a mating solution (connector or cable assembly) that would allow me to use it in a waterproof application. Can you provide me links to possible solutions.

Thanks,

Ralph

Hi Ralph,

Only the socket is rugged/waterproof. the cable would be a standard one. I think they are expecting the cable to be protected just by any moulded boot on the end and perhaps just mounted in a enclosure with a lip or something to prevent direct rain falling on it.

Sometimes the socket is mounted very recessed for instance, and then the enclosure may have some other means to provide a bit more protection to the cable where it enters the recess. In other words, this connector would need the enclosure designer to also implement some of that extra stuff. But the connector will still seal to the enclosure, so that the enclosure is still IP67.

Thanks. I was hoping that an Amphenol person might be monitoring this forum and could tell me if they had implemented a solution. I think I might have found their solution, so I'll switch over to the challenge forum (I probably should have started there)...

Great! I did get a response from my contact - see below:

The MRJR series is designed to work with any RJ plug connector and is IP rated to prevent fluid ingress from passing through the mating cavity into the box. If the customer wants to protect the mating connection as well the attached protective boot assembly can be purchased. Part number is MUSBRAHD2321SK, attached is the link to the data sheet and product drawing.
