The New FM45 EL –<br />

Stable and Ingeniously Simple<br />

030.8275<br />

With the intuitive FM45 connectors from R&M, installers can<br />

quickly and flexibly change, replace or install cabling in the field.<br />

Now there’s a new family member in metal housing.<br />

Whether for traditional premises wiring<br />

in office buildings, for residential cabling,<br />

in data centers or in industry: The range<br />

of FM45s has been tried and tested for<br />

almost 20 years. The connectors serve as<br />

practical helpers for the construction of LAN<br />

infrastructures, for service, maintenance and<br />

repairs. The FM45 range offers universal<br />

connection solutions for all requirements –<br />

both indoors and out. And now the FM45<br />

family is growing again: The completely newly<br />

developed FM45 EL Cat. 6 A<br />

in a robust<br />

design with die-cast zinc housing is suitable<br />

not only for traditional LAN cabling, but also<br />

for industrial environments and the IoT. It<br />

ensures stable data transmission, even under<br />

the most adverse circumstances. Thanks to<br />

the extended temperature range of -40 to<br />

85°C, it can withstand many influences. The<br />

connector can be rewired. With its insulation<br />

displacement connections (IDC), it is also<br />

ideally suited for PoE applications. It bears<br />

the R&M PowerSafe quality seal.<br />

Effortless wiring<br />

Depending on the installation environment,<br />

two straight and two angled versions are<br />

available, each in Cat. 6 A<br />

, for cable diameters<br />

of 5—7 mm or alternatively 7—9 mm. Smart:<br />

The wiring method is the same – and child’s<br />

play. Regardless of whether the connector is<br />

used for new buildings or conversions, the<br />

wiring is always successful, even without<br />

special tools. It can be taken care of with<br />

stranded or straight wire from AWG22 to<br />

AWG26, regardless of whether shielded<br />

or unshielded cables are used. Easy-to-read<br />

color markings provide additional support.<br />

A handle guard is helpful when removing<br />

the connector in hard-to-reach areas. It can<br />

be shortened or removed completely. Two<br />

differently colored clamping rings in the<br />

nut ensure reliable strain relief and the<br />

selection of the correct diameter. The<br />

connector is only 46 mm long and therefore<br />

also ideal for applications in confined spaces.<br />

It is also backwards compatible and guar-<br />

anteed to be reliable: R&M offers a 5-year<br />

product warranty and a 25-year system<br />

warranty.<br />

The new FM45 EL from R&M will be available<br />

in summer 2023.<br />
