LogiLink NP0031 wire connector

The LogiLink NP0031 wire connector is a shielded, dual-port RJ45 female connector designed for secure Ethernet and network cabling applications. It combines a robust ABS non-halogen enclosure with a FR4 printed circuit board and gold-plated contacts to provide reliable signal transmission and long-term mechanical stability. The connector’s 1:1 assignment and two RJ45 female ports make it suitable for inline coupling or panel-mounted connection tasks where preserving shielding and signal integrity is important.

Advantages

This connector offers a shielded construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve network performance in noisy environments. The ABS non-halogen housing meets flammability standard UL 94 V-0, while the FR4 PCB and phosphor bronze contacts with nickel and gold plating (0.6 µm) ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. The design supports a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C and accepts standard Ethernet wiring with a direct 1:1 assignment for straightforward installation.

Suitable for

• Inline coupling of two Ethernet cables
• Panel or enclosure mounting for shielded network connections
• Professional networking installations and structured cabling
• DIY network repairs and extensions where shielding is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: 2 × RJ45 female, shielded
• Contact material: phosphor bronze
• Contact plating: nickel with gold plating, 0.6 µm
• PCB material and thickness: FR4, 1.2 mm
• Enclosure material: ABS non-halogen, UL 94 V-0
• Assignment: 1:1 wiring
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C

How to use

Insert each Ethernet cable into the corresponding RJ45 female port and ensure the connector latches engage properly. Because the connector is shielded and wired 1:1, maintain the cable shielding continuity by connecting drain wires or foil to the connector’s shield where applicable. Mount the connector into a panel or enclosure if required, securing it according to the installation environment and ensuring the PCB and contacts are not subjected to mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use cables with intact shielding and verify contact integrity after installation. Avoid excessive bending or tensile stress on cables near the connector and perform regular inspections in environments with temperature extremes or high vibration to ensure continued signal reliability.
