Slim-Line<br />
Top Hat Rail Adapter<br />
The second-generation top hat rail features a slim-line design. It makes space for<br />
greater packing density on standard rails. Installers can now accommodate considerably<br />
more network connections in switch cabinets and small building distributors.<br />
Greater packing density! Planners, installers<br />
and property owners are increasingly demanding<br />
compact solutions when it comes to<br />
structured cabling for local data networks. And<br />
greater packing density is not only required<br />
for office landscapes and data centers. More<br />
and more RJ45 network connections have<br />
to be provided even in smaller distributors<br />
and switch cabinets for industry as well as<br />
functional and residential buildings. In such<br />
cases, the 35 mm standard top hat rail (DIN<br />
EN 50 022) is often the installation platform<br />
of choice.<br />
R&M has further developed top hat rail<br />
adapter DRM45 to cater to this trend. The<br />
new variant is two thirds slimmer than the first<br />
generation. Its 18 mm width corresponds to<br />
1 HP (horizontal pitch), the typical pitch<br />
pattern on top hat rails. This boosts packing<br />
density enormously. The broader first-generation<br />
DRM45 will remain available.<br />
Both feature extremely simple handling and<br />
front operation. The individual modules can be<br />
clicked in and snapped out without the need<br />
for any tools. Copper and fiber optic adapters<br />
can be assembled, replaced or removed in next<br />
to no time. The RJ45 copper modules Cat. 6 A<br />
EL and Cat. 6 A<br />
ISO as well as Cat. 6 A<br />
coupler<br />
fit in the DRM45 – each as shielded and<br />
unshielded versions. In FO installations the<br />
adapter supports LC-duplex and SC-simplex<br />
connections.<br />
And access is still convenient even if a number<br />
of adapters are lined up closely together. The<br />
integrated ground spring can also be enabled<br />
or disabled from the front. A hinge connects<br />
the dust cap with the adapter so that the<br />
cap does not get lost. There are nine cap<br />
colors available to denote individual network<br />
services. If the adapter is not in operation, the<br />
dust cap can be closed in a flash. The labeling<br />
window is also accessible from the front. The<br />
labels can either be written by hand or printed.<br />
