Function

This field junction box is a certified enclosure solution for the Ethernet-APL rail field switch.

Depending on the switch electronics selected, devices can be located in any explosion hazardous area. The number of outputs can be selected.

Brushed stainless steel provides high corrosion and shock resistance at a wide temperature range. The integrated drain channel prevents standing water from damaging the one-piece seal.

Cable entries can be selected individually from a range of cable glands and stopping plugs. A breather drain is included by default. Tag plate, fiber optic splice, wiring terminals, surge protection and grounding bars can be custom-configured.

This field junction box is available pre-wired with all accessories and certified for explosion hazardous areas, enabling fast delivery, site installation, and commissioning.

The Ethernet-APL rail field switch for DIN rail mounting, the latest FieldConnex® innovation, is the first product to enable direct, fast, barrier-free access to field devices of the process plant via Ethernet-APL. Learn more....
