An increasing number of applications require reliable Ethernet communication, including in hazardous areas.
With the Solexy Explosion-Proof & Intrinsically Safe Ethernet Coupler, this is now significantly easier and safer. This patented solution enables standard Ethernet signals to be brought into a hazardous area via an RJ45 connection, without complex installation or additional components.
The Ethernet barrier couplers (BXF/BAF series) allow you to:
- Use standard CAT5(e) cabling
- Easily connect equipment in safe and hazardous areas
- Establish or disconnect Ethernet connections without power interruption
This makes the solution particularly suitable for applications such as PLC programming and other temporary connections.
The explosion-proof version (BXF) is made of stainless steel and is resistant to corrosive environments. The connector does not take up any internal space inside the Ex d enclosure.
The Ethernet couplers are available with international certifications such as ATEX and IECEx, and are suitable for use in Zone 1/21 environments.
An interesting development for those focusing on digitalization, remote monitoring, and data integration in demanding industrial environments.
