New Field

R&M has announced the launch of field-mountable FM45 connectors.

The development team in Wetzikon has designed a new variant with a die-cast zinc housing.

The all-new all-metal FM45 is being launched as a Cat. 6A type.

It is equipped with EL quick mounting technology and IDC wiring from R&M.

The latest field-mountable RJ45 connector in metal housing ensures stable data transmission under adverse conditions. These include harsh industrial environments, rooms exposed to electromagnetic pollution, IoT connections in halls and functional buildings or outdoors.

It is also suitable for the continuous operation of Power over Ethernet (PoE) with maximum performance.

The new FM45 in metal housing bears the R&M PowerSafe seal as proof of guaranteed PoE suitability.

R&M has once again shortened the straight version of the FM45 housing. It’s only 46 millimeters long—the FM45 Cat. 6A EL is therefore also suitable for confined connection situations.

R&M provides two straight and one angled versions with the same wiring technology. The FM45 supports conventional cable diameters of five to nine millimeters.

Installers do not need any special tools for wiring with stranded wire or wire with cross-sections from AWG22 to AWG26. Termination is incredibly easy and only takes one to two minutes. It can be executed intuitively and flawlessly right from the start.

FM45 connectors simplify the construction of LAN infrastructures with flexible cable routing. With FM45, patch cords of any length can be terminated on site.

The field-mountable connectors serve as practical helpers for servicing, maintenance, and repairs on local data networks. In addition, the FM45 connectors can be rewired several times over.
