Schalksmühle, January 2026. – With the expansion of Series 25, Lumberg is systematically extending its portfolio of modular connectors for RJ45 network wall feedthroughs. Newly available are four variants of the 2543 series, which were specifically developed for use in demanding industrial environments. The waterproof panel-mount sockets meet IPx7 protection requirements and are ideally suited for control cabinets, control devices, and production systems where reliability and sealing integrity are critical.

The new types cover a wide range of application requirements. In addition to modular panel-mount couplers with solder terminals for manual soldering, modular double panel-mount couplers are also available. Depending on the version, the connectors are offered either unshielded in plastic or shielded with a metal housing. Variants with a bayonet locking mechanism also enable fast and secure installation.

All versions are based on the proven 8p8c RJ45 interface, are designed for a temperature range from –40 °C to +85 °C, and offer high mechanical robustness with a minimum of 500 mating cycles. As a result, the new 2543 types represent a flexible and future-proof solution for modern, networked industrial applications.
