The Telegärtner STX V4 Free Connection Box is a robust and weather-resistant connection component for network applications in outdoor environments or harsh conditions. The device is specifically designed for mounting on walls or in the floor and provides secure accommodation for cables with a diameter between 5 and 10 mm. The housing is made of aluminium alloy AL-Si 12 and features a powder-coated surface in RAL 7001, ensuring high mechanical stability and corrosion resistance. The protection class IP67 ensures tightness against dust and water, including temporary submersion, making the connection box suitable for outdoor use. The pre-assembled variant 4 is equipped with M16 plastic cable glands, enabling secure and flexible cable routing.

Applications

The connection box is primarily used in the field of network infrastructure, especially in outdoor installations, industrial facilities, or for the installation of security and monitoring systems. The integrated protective cap IP67 provides additional protection when the box is not in use. The mounting options on wall or floor allow flexible integration into existing systems. Use in harsh environments, such as street lighting, traffic signs, or industrial plants, is possible due to the high mechanical and climatic resistance.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The STX V4 is pre-assembled with a flange housing of variant 4, enabling secure fastening. The cable exits are available either to the right or straight, allowing adaptable installation to different space conditions. The integrated protective cap IP67 is included in the delivery scope and protects the connection box when not in use. The box is standardly equipped with an RJ45 Module A Cat.6A (ISO/IEC), ensuring high data transfer rates and bandwidth for modern networks. Alternatively, variants with Cat.6 Class EA (ISO/IEC), USB, or LWL inserts are available, although the specific configuration of this product includes the RJ45 Module A Cat.6A (ISO/IEC).

Technology Explained Simply

The protection class IP67 means the device is completely protected against dust and is also resistant to temporary submersion in water up to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. This makes the connection box particularly suitable for outdoor use or in damp indoor environments. The use of aluminium AL-Si 12 ensures high strength with low weight. The powder coating in RAL 7001 provides additional corrosion protection and a uniform, long-lasting surface. The M16 plastic cable glands allow easy and secure cable fastening without additional tools.

Compatibility and Accessories

The connection box is designed for use with cables in the diameter range of 5 to 10 mm. The integrated RJ45 connection complies with the Cat.6A (ISO/IEC) standard, enabling data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s over distances of up to 100 meters. The box is compatible with standard network cables and can be integrated into existing network infrastructures. Variants with USB or LWL inserts are optionally available, but are not part of this specific configuration.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done on walls or in the floor, with the pre-assembled flange construction enabling secure fastening. The cable exits to the right or straight offer flexibility in placement. The IP67 protective cap is fitted when not in use to protect the box from environmental influences. Installation requires no special tools, as the M16 plastic cable glands are easy to handle.

Advantages in Operation

The STX V4 provides a reliable and durable connection for network cables in outdoor environments. The high mechanical stability, weather resistance, and easy installation make it a practical solution for professional applications. The integrated protective cap offers additional protection, and the use of standard network technologies ensures compatibility with existing systems. The box is designed for use in harsh environments, providing long service life and low maintenance costs.
