FAQs
What is the IP rating of this data socket?
The Weidmuller IE-XM-RJ45/IDC has an IP20 degree of protection, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but offers no protection against water ingress.
Can this data socket be used outdoors?
No, due to its IP20 rating, this data socket is not suitable for outdoor use or in environments exposed to moisture or dust. It is designed for industrial or indoor controlled environments.
What type of cable is recommended for use with this socket?
It is recommended to use Category 6 twisted-pair cables, preferably shielded (STP/FTP), to take full advantage of its performance and interference reduction capabilities.
What are the dimensions of the IE-XM-RJ45/IDC?
The dimensions are 60mm (Length) x 45mm (Width) x 17.5mm (Height).
What is the operating temperature range?
The data socket can operate in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C.
Does this module require a specific tool for installation?
Yes, an Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) termination tool is required to properly seat the wires into the connector for a reliable connection.
Is this product available in colors other than gray?
Based on the provided information, this specific model (MPN 8808360000) is gray (RAL 7035).
Troubleshooting
No network connectivity after installation
Verify that all wires are correctly seated in the IDC terminals and that the correct color code was followed. Check for solid connections by gently tugging on each wire. Ensure the cable is properly terminated on both ends.
Slow or intermittent network performance
Confirm that the cable used is appropriate for Category 6 standards and is properly shielded. Check for any kinks or damage to the cable. Ensure the data socket is properly grounded if required by the installation environment and verify that no other sources of EMI are present.
Difficulty terminating wires
Ensure you are using the correct IDC termination tool for this type of connector. Verify that the wires are properly stripped and aligned in the connector slots before attempting termination. Check that the wire gauge is within the supported range (AWG 22-26).
Connector not securely mounted on DIN rail
Ensure the DIN rail is standard 35mm width. Check that the mounting clip on the back of the data socket is properly engaged with the rail. Verify that the rail itself is securely fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare Cable: Strip the outer jacket of the twisted-pair cable to expose the twisted pairs.
- Arrange Wires: Untwist pairs slightly and arrange wires according to the IDC connector's color coding for your chosen standard (e.g., T568A or T568B).
- Insert Wires: Place the wires into the corresponding slots on the IDC connector.
- Terminate: Use a suitable IDC termination tool to press the wires down, severing the insulation and creating the electrical connection. Ensure the tool seats the wires firmly.
- Mount: Secure the data socket to a DIN rail or suitable mounting surface.
Compatibility:
- Wire Gauge: Compatible with solid and stranded wires from AWG 22 to AWG 26.
- Cable CSA: Supports cable cross-sectional areas from 0.4 mm² to 0.64 mm².
- Mounting: Designed for standard 35mm DIN rails.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a dry, lint-free cloth for general cleaning. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the connector. Allow to dry completely before use.
- Environment: Operate within the specified temperature range of -25°C to +70°C.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect connections for signs of damage or wear.
