Explosion-proof line bushings are designed to connect Ethernet cables between two shells of explosion-proof equipment. Line bushings can usually be used between an Exd shell and an input Exe shell, or between two Exd shells.
Line bushings are made of stainless steel, easy to install, and have a sturdy design for long-term use. Line bushings are installed in the body using metric threads.
One or two CAT 7 or CAT 5e Ethernet cables can pass through the separating line bushings.
Line bushings on both sides are equipped with industrial Ethernet cable and industrial RJ45 connectors. The RJ45 connector allows for easy and safe hot-plug installation, even in Ex d cases.
For data transmission, an industrial CAT 5e Ethernet cable is used, a type of UTP, which provides data transfer speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
For high-speed applications, CAT 7 industrial Ethernet cable, type STP and S/FTP are used, which provide data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps. Line bushings with Ethernet cable and RJ45 connectors provide high-speed communication in hazardous areas where safety and reliability are critical.
