Cables / Ethernet

This handy Ethernet extension cable will make it easy for you to enclose a device that has an Ethernet port. We think this would be most useful when putting a Beagle Bone, Raspberry Pi, Arduino Ethernet into a box. The jack half has two mounting 'ears' with 4-40 screws installed, 1" inch / 25mm apart. The ears are flexible so the holes don't have to drilled very precisely. Can be used with box walls up to 0.25" wide. The...

We have some great waterproof and weather-proof items in the adafruit shop, but once you have a project built, you'll want to enclose it. But how to keep an enclosure weather/waterproof while still attaching cables for power, data or sensors? That's where cable glands come in. By installing these over the cable, they form-fit to make a seal, keeping your project box innards safe from the outdoors. This particular gland is specifically...

Simplify your Internet of Things with a passive PoE injector cable. These are quite handy for projects that have Ethernet connectivity and also need a power cable. Of course, you can get a long Ethernet cable but then you have to figure out how to plug it in, making a mess of wires. There is an official Power-over-Ethernet standard that allows devices and routers to activate a 48VDC power line on the unused Ethernet pins (4,5 and 7,8) but PoE is...

We have so many Internet-connected goodies in the shop, we figured it's time to carry a cable so you can easily connect them up! This cable is 10 feet long, black and has all 8 wires installed. Perfect for use with the BeagleBone, Arduino Uno Ethernet, Arduino Ethernet Shield, NETduino Plus, Patch Shield, PoE Injector cables, IoT Printer pack or any other Ethernet-cable-needing product! This is a 'straight-thru' cable, not a...

We have so many Internet-connected goodies in the shop, we figured it's time to carry a cable so you can easily connect them up! This cable is 5 feet long, comes in Adafruit black and has all 8 wires installed. Perfect for use with the BeagleBone, Arduino Uno Ethernet, Arduino Ethernet Shield, NETduino Plus, Patch Shield, PoE Injector cables, IoT Printer pack or any other Ethernet-cable-needing product! This is a 'straight-thru'...

If you need to add a panel-mount connection for Ethernet, but don't have the time or ability to cut a custom oval or square hole, this  RJ-45 Ethernet Round Panel Mount Extension Cable  is the easiest and fastest way to panel-ify your existing Ethernet kit. It's about 30mm in diameter, so you can drill a hole in your wood, plastic or metal with a common hole-saw or bit, no special shapes or filing required. Un-screw the plastic...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters can make your project wiring a breeze - and best of all they work to connect any 802.3af-capable router to any Ethernet device, even if it doesn't natively support PoE! The splitter takes a unified PoE signal (data and power) from one RJ-45 cable, and then separates the data (Ethernet) and power (5 VDC regulated) into two different lines for non-PoE devices. This is an economical, practical,...

If you need to connect an RJ45 cable (a.k.a Ethernet) to a board that with an Ethernet Jack - this adapter will come in very handy! No soldering required. Just use a slim screwdriver to open up the terminal blocks, slide in your stranded or solid-core wire and re-tighten. Note that these aren't recommended for actual Ethernet traffic, especially long term...but for basic power/data distribution, RJ45's are great! This is the Ethernet...

If you need to add a panel-mount connection for Ethernet, but don't have the time or ability to cut a custom oval or square hole, this RJ-45 Ethernet Round Panel Mount Plug is the easiest and fastest way to panel-ify your existing Ethernet kit. It's about 30mm in diameter, so you can drill a hole in your wood, plastic or metal with a common hole-saw or bit, no special shapes or filing required. Un-screw the plastic nut, insert the plug...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters can make your project wiring a breeze - and best of all they work to connect any 802.3af-capable router to any Ethernet device, even if it doesn't natively support PoE! The splitter takes a unified PoE signal (data and power) from one cable, and then separates the data (Ethernet) and power (+12VDC regulated) into two different lines for non-PoE devices. This is an economical, practical,...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) can make your project wiring a breeze - instead of needing a wire for power and data, you can use one Ethernet cable for both! All you need is this handy PoE module, and access to the center-taps on your Ethernet-capable board. Attach the four input wires, and get regulated 5V 1.8A on the other side. Amazing! This version of the PoE module has a transformer in the center, that's the big chunky thing, so that there...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) can make your project wiring a breeze - instead of needing a wire for power and data, you can use one Ethernet cable for both! All you need is this handy PoE module, and access to the center-taps on your Ethernet-capable board. Attach the four input wires, and get regulated 5V 1.5A on the other side. Amazing! This module works well with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, which has the 4 wires on a header. As you can see in...

If you need to connect an RJ45 cable (a.k.a Ethernet) to a board that doesn't have an Ethernet jack - this adapter will come in very handy! No soldering required. Just push the little buttons and slide in your stranded or solid-core wire. Note that these aren't recommended for actual Ethernet traffic, especially long term...but for basic power/data distribution, RJ45's are great! This is the Ethernet (RJ45) Female Jack Push-Terminal...
