Ethernet connectors

Solexy’s patented (7,507,105)Explosion-Proof / Intrinsically Safe Ethernet Coupler allows for transmissions of Ether-net into hazardous areas with a standard RJ45 connector. With the Solexy Ethernet coupler it’s possible to connect any standard ethernet device located in a classified or safe area.

The BXF explosion proof and intrinsically safe barrier is certified for installation in classified areas and BAF intrinsi-cally safe barrier is suitable for installation in safe areas and purged systems. The BXF is designed to be used with any UL, CSA, MSHA, ATEX or IECEx listed explosion proof housing without the need of a seal fitting, taking up no internal space. The BAF is designed to be used in safe area directly with any CAT5 or CAT5e cable system. The BAF can also be remote mounted up to 70 meters away with minimal loss of signal. The BAF is also designed to be used with air purge panel systems. A BXF and/or BAF coupler is required on each end of a cable installation for full protection of both the RX and TX lines.

Features

No Sealing Fitting Required Fitting is pre-approved for hazardous locations and can be installed with no
potting compounds and a simple wrench. Eliminates the need for costly seal
fittings, and reduces the chance of error associated with field installed sealing
practices.
Corrosion Resistant 300 series stainless steel of BXF series protects the fitting from corrosive
environments, sealing fittings are typically constructed of aluminium or
galvanized steel, neither being well suited for the process industry.
Environmental Protection All required circuitry is recessed into fitting and encapsulated against harsh
environments; this is impossible with conventional sealing methods.
Interchangeability Ethernet cables can be connected/disconnected without powering down the
system, and can be run in traditional cable trays.
Industrial M12 “D” connection With this secure weather proof industrial connection, cable installation and
removal can be accomplished without removing power.

Specyfications

Devices installed in a classified area

A BXF Coupler must be used at either end of the Ethernet cable to ensure the safety of this system.
The BXF must be securely mounted and grounded within a UL/CSA, MSHA or ATEX/IECEx approved explosion proof enclosure

Devices installed in both a classified and a safe area

One BAF and one BXF Coupler must be used at opposite ends of the Ethernet cable to ensure the safety of this system. The BXF must be securely mounted and grounded within a UL/CSA, MSHA or ATEX/IECEx approved explosion proof enclosure.
