A.2 Fitting the IE FC RJ-45 Plug
Assembly of the IE FC RJ-45 Plug on an IE FC Standard Cable
For information on assembling an IE FC RJ-45 Plug on a SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet
FastConnect cable, please refer to the instructions supplied with the IE FC RJ-45 Plug.
Inserting the IE FC RJ-45 Plug
1. Insert the IE FC RJ-45 Plug in the twisted-pair interface of the IE switch until it locks in
place.
Figure A-2 Inserting the IE FC RJ-45 Plug (based on the example of the IE FC RJ-45 Plug 180)
The flush fit and locking mechanism of the PROFINET-compliant IE FC RJ-45 Plug along
with the securing collar on the TP port of the IE Switch guarantee a robust connection
suitable for industrial conditions providing tensile and bending strain relief for the inserted
connector.
The RJ-45 interface of the IE Switch X-300EEC is fitted with a securing bracket instead of a
securing collar. To increase mechanical stability, you can secure the IE FC RJ-45 PLUG to
this securing bracket with a cable binder.
