Neutrik Americas NE8FDX-Y6-W Ethercon Cat6a Receptacle

Product Description

The NEUTRIK AMERICAS NE8FDX-Y6-W is a chassis-mount EtherCON receptacle designed for Cat6a network installations requiring rugged, locking connector terminations. It accepts standard RJ45 plugs while providing the mechanical protection of a latching EtherCON interface, making it suitable for panel mount applications in fixed or touring audio-visual, broadcast, and industrial network infrastructure. The D-series form factor fits standard D-size panel cutouts. This receptacle is typically installed by AV integrators, network technicians, and electricians working on structured cabling or stage and studio patchbay assemblies.

The NE8FDX-Y6-W is used in applications where Cat6a network connections must be mechanically secured against accidental disconnection or physical impact. Common install scenarios include stage boxes, rack panels, wall plates, and equipment enclosures in broadcast, live sound, and industrial control environments. The D-series chassis format allows integration into standard modular panel systems alongside other D-size connectors.
