RJ45-connectors with right-angled grip body
ESCHA, Supplied locally by
RET Automation Controls
, offers high-
grade RJ45-patchcords with right-angled grip body.The right-angled
versions facilitate an optimal cable run for applications with limited
space conditions. The overmolded grip body averts snapped off- or
broken cables and thus guarantees a faultless data transmission
according to Cat5e. ESCHA RJ45-patchcords meet IP20 protection
class requirements and are especially adapted for automation solu-
tions within the switch cabinet.
More patchcords in tight space
The advanced system decentralisation makes smaller and smaller
switch cabinets necessary. Therefore, patchcords must be installed
in tighter and tighter spaces. This can cause snapped off- or even
broken cables consequently leading to a lower data transmission,
loss of data or standstill. Cables can be particularly space-saving in-
stalled with ESCHA right-angled RJ45-patchcords. The overmolded
grip body provides for safety, stability, and guarantees a safe data
transmission. In order to satisfy all individual re-
quirements, ESCHA offers the new RJ45-patch-
cords in ‘right-angled on right-angled’ as well
as ‘right-angled on straight’ variants. Thanks to
UL-certification, all patchcords can be used on the
North American market.
Original accessories
For RJ45-connectors deeply placed in ports with
their release lug hard- or not at all accessible, the
connectivity specialist has had the ESCHA mul-
ti-clip on offer already for a long time. This is quite
easily plugged onto the grip body providing for
fast unlocking and locking. The ESCHA multi-clip
is available in eleven colours and does not only fit
on the previously available straight grip bodies,
but also on the new right-angled variants.

sensors
The O5D with time of flight technology (PMD = Photonic Mixer
Device) combines the following advantages: long range, reliable
background suppression, visible laser light and high excess gain. In
the same price range as standard sensors, it is a clever alternative.
The switch point is set easily to the nearest centimetre via ‘+/-’
buttons and display or alternatively via IO-Link, allowing read-out of
the actual value.
Polished, matt, dark or light objects of any colour: The O5D fea-
tures reliable background suppression. The unit allows any angle
of incidence and thus flexibility of mounting. This simplifies instal-
lation and saves costs. Some
applications for these sensors
include detection on a convey-
or belt in the confectionery
industry, identification and
detection of interchangeable
tools and the loading condition
of conveyor belts.
