RJ Field : Ethernet Connection System for Harsh Environment

The Ethernet protocol becomes widely popular for entertainment applications. It offers strong advantages comparing to other bus protocols.

Ethernet needs RJ45 connectors to perform. RJ45 is a light plastic connector, not suitable for harsh environment applications such as entertainment industry. To use Ethernet for entertainment application, a harsh environment RJ45 solution is required.

The advantages of the Socapex RJ Field are :
The RJ field transforms a standard RJ45 connection suitable into a connector for harsh environment , using a protective shell

The RJ Field does not need cabling neither special cordset : With the patented RJStop™ system, use a STANDARD RJ45 CORDSET and just plug it.

No tool needed for the assembly.

RJ Switch : RJ-Switch, Ethernet Switch for Industrial and Military applications in harsh environment


RJ-Switch combines state of the art networking features with cost effectiveness. This rugged and waterproof Ethernet Switch can withstand extreme conditions : low and high temperatures (-40°C to + 75°C), shocks & vibrations, dust or sand as well as liquid immersion. The Versatile Switch electronic circuits can be protected from the environment by an IP 30 casing, a sealed waterproof IP 67 reinforced polyester enclosure, or a full metal IP67 enclosure providing sealing as well as efficient EMI-RFI shielding.  

The I/O connectors are from the RJ FIELD ® series (Amphenol unique, cost effective and Patented RJ stop® connection system turning any standard RJ45 into rugged IP67 reinforced interface) proven to be the best interface solutions for use of the RJ Switch in Harsh Environments&

Key Features of the RJ Switch® Series:
A wide choice is proposed from truly Plug'n Play unmanaged versions to Elite managed switches. A Ring version mix Plug'n Play simplicity with high management features such as QoS (Quality of Service).

The managed versions offers such advanced administration features as : fast redundant ring topology, automatic alarm via relay output or e-mail, management via web interface or telnet interface, network parameter management, port mirroring.

The ELITE managed versions adds following features : IGMP snooping, VLAN, QoS , Port locking , 2 digital inputs, and more &. With such features Real-Time communication is assured, the network traffic is improved, the maximum bandwidth is available for each link and critical messages are set up to higher priority.

The RJ Switch range is the largest in the market in terms of levels of protection and administration options&

The RJ Switch series are the most versatile and reliable solutions for Real-Time Ethernet Networking in the fields of factory automation, robotics, process control, transportation systems.
