RJ45 Waterproof Industrial Connector

The RJ45 waterproof industrial connector is a plug-and-socket pair that seals the mating interface of an Ethernet connection, so network cabling can run outside cabinets and across equipment that faces rain, splashes or wash-down.

What is in the set

The product is ordered as a set: a waterproof RJ45 plug for the cable side and a matching waterproof socket for the equipment side. The socket comes in vertical and elbow arrangements, so the network port can exit straight from the panel or turn to follow the cable route.

Standard RJ45 pinout

Both halves keep the standard RJ45 pinout, so the sealed pair stays compatible with ordinary RJ45 network hardware. The sealing is built into the connector interface itself.

Choosing the socket arrangement

Use the vertical socket when the port exits straight from the panel or housing. Use the elbow socket when space behind the panel is limited or the cable should run close along the surface after the exit.

Where the pair is used

Typical uses are outdoor cameras, networked machines and any equipment exposed to rain or cleaning water — installations where an unprotected RJ45 port would be the weak point of the link.

For indoor harnesses that do not need sealing, see the RJ45 industrial molded connector with straight, elbow and flat heads.

Questions buyers ask before ordering

Do I order the plug and socket separately?

No. The waterproof pair is ordered as a set — one plug and one socket. State the socket arrangement (vertical or elbow) with your inquiry.

Will it work with standard RJ45 equipment?

Yes. Both halves keep the standard RJ45 pinout, so no changes are needed on the connected camera, switch or controller.

What should an inquiry include?

The mounting arrangement, the cable entry, the environment the port will face (outdoor rain, splashes or wash-down), and your target quantity. These details help the supplier review the requirement and confirm the right set.
