Cat6 Shielded RJ45 Female-to-Female Industrial Bulkhead Coupler – IP67
Industrial Cat6 shielded RJ45 female-to-female bulkhead coupler with IP67 environmental protection and threaded panel mounting for convenient Ethernet connections through equipment panels and enclosures.
The Industrial Netware IN-31022 provides a dependable way to connect two RJ45-terminated Ethernet cables through an industrial control panel, machine enclosure, or equipment cabinet.
Unlike punch-down RJ45 jacks, this connector features a female RJ45 port on each side, allowing standard RJ45 male plugs to connect directly without cutting cables or terminating individual conductors.
Its shielded construction, 50-micron gold-plated contacts, and rugged thermoplastic housing make it well suited for industrial Ethernet installations. The threaded panel-mount design and sealing components support IP67-rated connections when properly installed and used with compatible mating protection.

Installation and Compatibility Notes
Feed-Through Connection: This product is an RJ45 female-to-female bulkhead coupler. It connects two Ethernet cables equipped with compatible RJ45 male plugs.
No Punch-Down Required: Unlike an IDC termination jack, this coupler does not require individual conductor termination. Ethernet cables connect directly to the female RJ45 ports.
Protective Dust Cap: A protective dust cap is not included with IN-31022. For installations requiring an attached protective cap, consider Industrial Netware IN-31024.
IP67 Protection: Environmental protection depends on correct panel installation, sealing, and compatible mating hardware. Exposed, unmated RJ45 ports should not be assumed to maintain IP67 protection.
Shielding: Use suitable shielded Ethernet cables and proper installation practices to maintain shielding continuity.
