Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of this Weidmüller module?

This module serves as a DIN rail mountable interface that provides two shielded female RJ45 ports for network connections, supporting PoE for combined power and data transmission.

Can this module be used with any type of Ethernet cable?

Yes, it is compatible with standard Ethernet cables featuring RJ45 connectors. For PoE functionality, Cat 5e or higher is recommended.

What does the IP20 rating mean?

An IP20 rating signifies that the module is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm (like a finger) and offers no protection against liquids.

How do I install this module on a DIN rail?

The module slides onto a standard TS35 DIN rail and typically latches into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.

What is the operating temperature range?

The module operates reliably within a temperature range of -25°C to +70°C.

Does this module require any drivers or software?

No, this is a passive hardware interface and does not require any drivers or software for operation. It functions as a physical connection point.

Can I use this for data speeds higher than Gigabit Ethernet?

The product description specifies Category 6 rating, which typically supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over shorter distances, though the exact performance depends on the overall cabling infrastructure.

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity

Verify that Ethernet cables are securely plugged into both the module and connected devices. Check cable integrity and ensure the module is properly seated on the DIN rail. Confirm network switch port is active and configured correctly.

Intermittent connection or data errors

Ensure the module's EMI shielding is effective by checking for any damage or gaps. Verify that connected cables are properly terminated and shielded if required for the application. Check for environmental interference sources.

PoE not providing power

Confirm that the connected switch or injector supports PoE and that the connected device is PoE-compatible. Ensure the Ethernet cable is a high-quality, Category 5e or higher, with all four pairs intact. Verify module's PoE support specifications.

Module not staying on DIN rail

Ensure the DIN rail is a standard TS35 type. Check that the module's mounting mechanism is engaged correctly. Inspect the DIN rail for damage or deformation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Streamlines network cabling by supporting PoE.
  • Ensures reliable data transmission through EMI shielding.
  • Easy installation and secure mounting on DIN rails.
  • Compact size suitable for space-constrained applications.
  • Durable construction for industrial environments.

Cons

  • Requires a DIN rail for mounting.
  • Specific to RJ45 connections, not universal.
  • IP20 rating offers limited protection against dust and water ingress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This module is designed for quick installation on standard TS35 DIN rails. Simply slide the module onto the rail until it securely latches. Connect your Ethernet cables to the two female RJ45 ports.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard Ethernet cables and devices utilizing RJ45 connectors. It supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) standards, enabling power delivery alongside data.

Care: Keep the module clean by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure connections are secure and free from dust or debris to maintain optimal performance. Periodically check the DIN rail mounting for stability.
