The RJ45 terminal block can be used to easily convert field wiring to an RJ45 connection. There are eight screw terminals that correspond to the eight RJ45 wires plus a ninth screw terminal for connecting a shield. Simply connect the individual conductors to the appropriate screw terminals and you are done. Designed with Sealevel SeaI/O RS-485 Modbus/RTU devices in mind, the TBRJ45 simplifies the conversion of remote RS-485 wiring to an RJ45 plug, allowing standard CAT5 cabling to be connected to Sealevel SeaI/O devices.
The RJ45 is also perfect for breaking CAT5 wiring out to screw terminals, which is especially useful for Telco, networking, automation, or other twisted pair wiring applications. Mounting holes are located at the corners of the board and two additional holes are provided for attaching strain relief to wiring connected to the screw terminals.
What makes this RJ45 terminal blocks more unique than any other one is the terminals are labeled for the wire colors AND the terminal block is removable! After being in the industrial control field for over 25 years, this makes the job so much easier to do when you don't have to put the wires into the block and then mount it. Removal is so much easier as well.
