Cat6 Shielded RJ45 Industrial Panel-Mount Jack – Punch-Down, IP67
Industrial Cat6 shielded RJ45 panel-mount jack with punch-down termination, IP67 environmental protection, and rugged construction for industrial Ethernet installations.
The Industrial Netware IN-31020 provides a dependable solution for terminating shielded Cat6 Ethernet cable directly at an equipment panel, industrial enclosure, or machine-mounted network connection.
Unlike RJ45 feed-through couplers, this connector uses rear punch-down (IDC) termination, allowing individual cable conductors to connect directly to the jack without installing a separate RJ45 plug.
Its nickel-plated brass shielding case, 50-micron gold-plated contacts, and durable thermoplastic housing make it well suited for industrial networking applications. The threaded mounting design and sealing components support IP67-rated installations when properly assembled with compatible mating hardware.

Installation and Compatibility Notes
Punch-Down Termination: This product is an IDC termination jack, not an RJ45 feed-through coupler. Individual Ethernet cable conductors are terminated directly at the rear of the connector.
Cable Compatibility: Use compatible 22–24 AWG solid-conductor Ethernet cable and appropriate punch-down installation tools. Follow the connector's T568A or T568B termination markings.
IP67 Protection: Environmental protection depends on correct panel installation, sealing, and use of compatible mating or protective hardware. The exposed, unmated RJ45 opening should not be assumed to maintain IP67 protection.
Shielding: Use suitable shielded Ethernet cable and proper installation practices to maintain shielding continuity.
