TTI is now taking orders for Amphenol’s Atex Field Bus range designed for device group II category 3. According to EN60079-15 the devices may be operated within zone 2 and class I, Division 2, as low power non sparking connectors. Main target applications are aerospace & defence, oil & gas, process control, as well as factory automation.

The RJFTVX connector enables the use of an Ethernet Class D / Cat. 5e connection for 10 BaseT, 100 BaseTx or 1000 BaseT networks in ATEX zone 2 environments. With the patented RJStop system you can use a standard RJ45 cordset in a metallic plug which will protect it from shocks, dust and fluids.

With USBFTVX, a standard USB 2.0 cordset can be inserted into a metallic plug which will protect it from shocks, dust and fluids. This range is fitted to be used in Atex zone 2 environments. This metallic plug is connected into a receptacle, using a Tri Start thread coupling mechanism (MIL-DTL-38999 series III type) with anti-decoupling device for high vibrations.

The RJ11FTVX component allows the use of a standard phone RJ11/RJ12 connection in Atex zone 2 environments. With the patented RJStop system you can use a standard RJ11 / RJ12 cordset in a metallic plug which will protect it from shocks, dust and fluids.

The Ethernet Switch is a combination of rugged packaging with locking device for Zone 2 hazardous location, with fault-tolerant network redundancy.
