RJ Industrial PushPull connectors in wireless telecommunication applications
Wireless access point, front view. Repeatit AB, Sweden
The Swedish manufacturer Repeatit AB is a provider of high-speed wireless access point solutions for network suppliers (ISP) wishing to acquire new customers in regions with rudimentary or inadequate telecommunications infrastructures.
Repeatit supplies base stations and wireless modems as well as the required software. The base stations are connected to existing copper or optical backbones in close vicinity to customers. As soon as a customer installs a wireless modem on premises, it is possible to login wirelessly into a network via the respective local base station.
In view of the fact that secure high-speed communications also have to function under poor weather conditions such as snow, ice and rain, Repeatit opted for the RJ Industrial PushPull as connector.
The decisive factor in the choice of this connector was the tightness of the 8-pin RJ45 connector in accordance with IP 67 for use in outdoor applications, as well as its compact dimensions. This aspect was particularly important given the very limited installation area for the access point that excluded the utilization of other connector solutions.
