Damage prevented on factory floor
3M has announced a new product to help prevent damage to RJ45 cable connectors on the factory floor. Like all 3M cabling products, the IP67 shell is designed for easy installation, requiring no specialist tools and is compliant with the international IP 67 standard, which concerns industrial housing environmental protection. Increasingly, Ethernet applications are being used in manufacturing to drive machinery and control data traffic, meaning that cable systems are becoming more prevalent in these environments.
