etherCON® RJ45

Because hospital networks are only as reliable as the connection point.

NEUTRIK etherCON® RJ45 delivers a ruggedized, lockable Ethernet connection for healthcare OEMs and biomedical engineering teams managing connected medical carts, imaging workstations, diagnostic platforms, and procedure-room systems.

Clinical equipment increasingly depends on Ethernet connectivity for data transfer, device communication, imaging workflows, software updates, remote diagnostics, and hospital IT integration. Standard RJ45 connections are useful, but they are not always built for mobile carts, frequent handling, cable strain, and the physical abuse of real clinical environments.

The NEUTRIK etherCON® system reinforces the standard RJ45 connection with a rugged, lockable housing, giving healthcare equipment a more durable Ethernet interface for demanding clinical environments. The D-Series and TOP-Series versions offer the strongest chassis-mount options in the etherCON family for OEM equipment integration.
