Purchase now: Phoenix Contact 1425456 QUICKON Cable Connector
Buy now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Phoenix Contact 1425456 (Type: SACC-CC-4QO SH ETH), a specialized Cable Connector engineered for the rapid extension or emergency repair of shielded Industrial Ethernet cables. This device is a lifesaver in production environments. Instead of replacing a 50-meter cable run because of a single cut or damaged section, you can use the 1425456 to splice the connection securely while maintaining CAT5e performance standards.
QUICKON Technology: Fast and Tool-Free
The 1425456 utilizes Phoenix Contact’s revolutionary QUICKON (IDC) insulation displacement connection. This technology allows you to terminate the wires without stripping the individual insulation from the conductors. You simply insert the wires into the color-coded guide and tighten the connector. The internal blades cut through the insulation to make a gas-tight, vibration-proof contact. The housing is made of Nickel-Plated Zinc Die-Cast, ensuring that the shielding continuity is preserved across the splice, which is critical for preventing data packet loss.

Maintenance Value: Minimizing Downtime
In a 24/7 manufacturing plant, re-running a long Ethernet cable through trays and conduits can take hours. With the 1425456, a technician can repair a severed cable in less than 5 minutes. Expert Tip: Unlike standard plastic RJ45 couplers, this unit is fully shielded and IP67 rated. It can be left permanently in the cable tray or even exposed to wash-down conditions without requiring an additional junction box.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can this connector be re-used?
A: Yes, the QUICKON connection can be opened and re-terminated up to 10 times, provided you use the same wire gauge. This offers excellent flexibility for temporary or permanent fixes.
Q: Does it support Gigabit speeds?
A: The 1425456 connects 4 wires (2 pairs), which supports Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). For Gigabit (1000 Mbps), all 8 wires (4 pairs) must be connected, so this specific part is limited to 100 Mbps applications.
