Benefits & Suitable Applications

Sealed & Rugged for Harsh Environments
The IP68 rating ensures protection from dust and water ingress when mated, making it suitable for outdoor, industrial automation, marine, or subterranean installations.

Field-Rewireable & Flexible Cable Mounting
The PX0834/A can be assembled in the field, reducing the need for pre-terminated cables and enabling customization to fit your layout.

Shielded for Reliable Signal Integrity
The shielding helps eliminate EMI / RFI interference, which is especially important in corridors with motors, transformers, or switching systems nearby.

Cat5e Performance in a Durable Design
Delivers standard Ethernet speeds with the robustness required for industrial environments.

Modular Interoperability
Compatible with Bulgin’s Buccaneer series and standard RJ45 panel jacks, supporting modular and mixed-system architectures.

Installation & Usage Tips

Cable Gland Tightening: Fully tighten the gland nut during assembly, but avoid over-tightening which may crimp the cable or degrade signal performance.

Correct Wire Sequence: Use T568A or T568B wiring standard consistently across your system to avoid mismatches.

Seal Unused Ports: When not in use, consider using a sealing cap (Bulgin offers PX0835) to maintain IP rating on open connectors.

Cable Compatibility: Use PUR-jacketed cable or cable within the recommended diameter to preserve performance and ease termination.

Mating & De-mating: Align carefully and avoid twisting on insertion to maintain the integrity of the seal and contacts.
