R&M is now available at OSA

OSA continues to partner with leading global hardware suppliers in the data cabling and networking space. Our commitment to providing Australian businesses with the latest technology and hardware is why OSA is Australia’s leading design and distribution company.

R&M product range is available at our trade centres across Australia. This month we take a look at the highly sought-after R&M RJ45 connector.

It has always been challenging to install a multi-functional RJ45 connector yourself. With the FM45, the Swiss cabling specialist has developed a product that gives planners, installers, and service technicians newly found freedom and unexpected benefits. Rapid assembly, handling, IDC contacts, and the wide spectrum of supported cable- everything to boost efficiency and flexibility. A typical innovation from R&M, the number 1 for layer 1.

The shielded Cat.6A / Class EA product line with especially high-performance reserves is intended for generic cabling systems for applications up to 10 GBit/s with increased requirements and improved protection against external disturbances (EMC).

Features of the FM45

The field-mountable RJ45 plug is expanding the limits of conventional cabling solutions. It makes installers flexible, fast and independent from restrictions. They can react to customer wishes, changes of plan and surprising challenges on site immediately. Standard-compliant Cat. 5e and Cat. 6A connections can be established anywhere without any special tools with the FM45.

Practically all cables encountered in the field (stranded or solid wire, AWG22 through to AWG26, shielded or unshielded construction, cable diameters up to 10.5mm) can be terminated on the FM45 to form structured cabling elements or point to point connections.

The FM45 family supports data transmission up to 10 GB and lots of other applications of twisted-pair copper cabling: Power over Ethernet, communication, multimedia and bus systems. Special housings for increased robustness and for protection in outdoor and heavy duty environments complement the range.

Applications for the FM45

Digital information systems

Today digital screens for advertising, information, animation or TV are on every street corner, in every building. The installation technology must be adaptable and highly efficient. The cabling should be able to be terminated individually during installation on site. The field-mountable FM45 from R&M helps installers to always find the most elegant solution for connecting screens. Full performance to 10 GB Ethernet included so you are ready for applications such as HD-Base–T and 4k or 8k UHD.

Wireless LAN

No WiFi antenna can do without a cable. Regardless of whether the access points are planned carefully in advance or at a later date. Regardless of whether they are located inside, out, or at remote places. Efficient WLAN antennas always need a wired connection to the local area network and the power supply. With the FM45, professionals install the antenna connections at every required location. Just lay the cable, terminate the connector, and you have your direct connection for WLAN hotspots with data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

Solar Technology

Solar technology is a perfect area of application for the FM45. Tool-free termination reduces assembly to just a few easy steps. Industrial LAN-grade IDC technology with corrosion-protected and vibration-resistant wire contact technology ensures long-lasting connections inside and out. A sturdy, dust-tight, waterproof IP67 housing permanently protects the connections from the weather and accommodates large industrial cables.

Surveillance

The cables required can be laid to all areas of the security system using inconspicuous drill holes. The field-mountable FM45 connectors connect the devices directly with the building master control technology or LAN. Weather- proof protective housing permits the use of connectors outside on facades and in the field. This is the perfect way to help generate security conveniently, discreetly, and fast.

Endless possibilities with the FM45

The field-mountable FM45 connector from R&M has all the characteristics of an all-rounder. In addition to the areas of use listed, the FM45 family is also suitable for:

  • Structured cabling for buildings
  • Building automation, sensors
  • Smart home applications
  • Multimedia and studio technology
  • Stage, show, concert and event installations
  • Bus cabling, automation, Industrial Ethernet
  • Bulkhead connections, switch links and hub links
  • Maintenance, repair, emergency solutions for data networks
