Bel Stewart’s rugged connectivity solutions cover the full industrial Ethernet spectrum, from protected panel feedthroughs to field-ready cables and connectors:
The Bel Stewart Cinch SS-60400-028 SealJack® RJ45 to RJ45 PCB coupler provides a space-saving, mechanically stable, and sealed Ethernet interface as an IP67-rated, right-angle panel-mount connection for connected machines, IP67 network modules, outdoor IoT enclosures, and control boxes.
Complementing this, the Bel Stewart Cinch BM-MFAR120N M12 X-Code female jack to RJ45 Cat6 cable reliably connects rugged field devices to switches or controllers and, thanks to X-Code technology, supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet for PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and standard Ethernet in harsh industrial environments.
For high-speed data and modern power delivery concepts, the Bel Stewart Cinch SS-52400-007 USB Type-C 3.2 connector is available. With IP67 protection and horizontal DIP-mount, it provides a reliable, industrial-grade USB-C interface for embedded systems, outdoor terminals, vehicles, machinery, rugged panels, and edge devices.
