Waterproof Ethernet Connectors

Amphenol RJ45

Amphenol has taken standard RJ45 connector and embedded them into rugged waterproof circular Military connector housings primarily from the MIL-C-26482 & MIL-DTL-38999 Series. There is now also a transversally sealed version available that stops water ingress even when not connected to a mating plug or protective cover.

The most popular series (pictured, right) is the RJFTV which uses D38999 shells.
