Neutrik NE8MX-B-1 etherCON kabelstekker-drager - zwart verchroomde behuizing, RJ45-bescherming

Unprotected RJ45 plugs on stage or in the field are a failure waiting to happen: bent latches, cracked housings, and intermittent connections. The Neutrik NE8MX-B-1 etherCON cable connector carrier solves this by giving a standard RJ45 plug the rugged, latching protection of an etherCON connector. It slips over a non pre-assembled RJ45 plug and locks it into a black chromium-plated zinc diecast shell with a polyamide bushing, turning a fragile data connection into a roadworthy link.

Who is it for

This carrier is for AV technicians, network engineers, and installers who build custom Ethernet cables for professional audio, lighting, or data networks. If you terminate your own RJ45 plugs and need them to survive frequent mating and rough handling, this is the missing piece.

Main features

• Polyamide (PA 6.6) bushing for cable strain relief
• Accepts cable outer diameters from 3.5 to 8.0 mm
• Latch lock prevents accidental disconnection
• Designed for non pre-assembled RJ45 plugs

Tips

Use this carrier with RJ45 plugs that have a latch. For best results, choose a plug that matches the cable diameter and category rating of your installation. The carrier can be reused if you need to re-terminate the cable.
