Why Choose the Ilme CJZA 8 IA4 Angled RJ45 Bulkhead Housing?
The Ilme CJZA 8 IA4 is a compact angled metal bulkhead mounting housing with an integrated female-to-female RJ45 coupler, designed for robust Ethernet connections on industrial panels, machinery and automation equipment. Part of the Ilme CJZ connector series, it uses the compact size 21.21 format and provides an 8-contact Cat. 5 Ethernet interface.
Its angled bulkhead configuration allows the mating connector and cable to run along the panel surface, helping reduce overall installation depth and avoid unnecessary cable strain. The CJZA 8 IA4 uses a galvanised steel rigid locking lever for secure mechanical coupling with compatible Ilme size 21.21 connector components.
When correctly mated and locked, the assembly provides IP66, IP67 and IP69 protection according to EN 60529. With a rated current of 2.1 A at 70 °C, rated voltage of 50 V DC / 35 V AC, nickel-plated brass shielding and an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +120 °C, the CJZA 8 IA4 is engineered for dependable industrial Ethernet installations.

Reliable Angled Ethernet Connectivity for Industrial Panels
The Ilme CJZA 8 IA4 provides a practical solution where a conventional straight bulkhead Ethernet connection would occupy too much space or place unnecessary strain on the cable. Its angled arrangement positions the mating connector along the surface of the panel, supporting compact cabinet layouts while maintaining convenient access for connection, disconnection and servicing.
The integrated Cat. 5 RJ45 female-to-female coupler allows terminated RJ45 cables to be connected on both sides of the interface, while the zinc-alloy enclosure and rigid galvanised steel locking lever provide the mechanical protection expected from an industrial connector system. Optional CR KC coding pins can also be used to distinguish individual connector configurations where multiple similar interfaces are installed together.
Typical Applications
- Industrial Ethernet panel interfaces.
- PLC and automation control cabinets.
- Networked machinery and production equipment.
- Robotics and automated manufacturing systems.
- Compact machine and equipment network connections.
- Industrial installations requiring angled RJ45 cable routing.
