MilesTek Introduces Ruggedized IP68 Cat5e Cables, Receptacles and Plugs

MilesTek, a leading manufacturer and supplier of products designed to address military and avionics applications, announced today that they have released a new series of IP68-rated Industrial Ethernet cable assemblies, IP68 receptacles and IP68-rated plugs.

The new cable assemblies feature IP68, transversely sealed RJ45 plugs and double shielded, high-flex, UV and oil resistant cable featuring a FR-TPE (Flame Retardant Thermoplastic Elastomer) jacket that is CMX outdoor-rated. Superior shielding of both the cable and connectors ensures higher data transmission rates up to gigabit Ethernet speeds.

The IP68 receptacles include MIL D38999 jam nut, flange mount, in-line and MIL jam nut styles all available off-the-shelf. And, the new IP68 plugs are available with either an anodized finish or zinc-nickel finish to address various harsh environment applications.

"Ethernet connectivity in extremely harsh environments is a reality for many of our customers, both military and industrial. We are proud to be able to offer such high quality, highly durable Ethernet connectivity products as off-the-shelf solutions to these challenges," said Mark Hearn, Product Manager.

These new rugged IP68 cables, receptacles and plugs are in stock and available for immediate shipment.
