Art. CEAG eXlink
Crouse-Hinds eXlink series connectors are used for plug-and-play connections in industrial LAN/Ethernet and USB networks for hot-swapping (plugging and unplugging) equipment in Zones 1 and 2.
With eXlink, the traditional electrical isolation of intrinsically safe interfaces is no longer required. Ex-de connector technology enables the full power of Industrial Ethernet to be utilized without barriers, increasing the efficiency of the bus architecture and reducing susceptibility to failure.

- Hot swapping
- Compact design
- High protection rating: IP66/IP68
- Easy assembly
- Frequency range up to 100 MHz or USB 2.0
- Transfer speed up to 100 Mbaud (Ethernet)
- Available for 10 BASE-T, 100 BASE-T
- The input and output sockets are designed with Ex-de protection class and feature CEAG-tested contacts in the form of a sealed, perforated and specially treated copper-beryllium tape, which ensures a permanent, perfect electrical connection with a large number of contact points.
- The Ex-d space around each plug pin provides a secure Ex-d chamber for explosion protection when connecting and disconnecting connectors in zones 1, 2, 21 and 22
- All components are equipped with ground cables, a cable lug and a pre-wired RJ or USB plug.
- Thanks to the M20 thread, nickel-plated brass components (or optionally stainless steel) can be integrated into all explosion-proof enclosures, allowing industrial Ethernet cards/tools to be used inside without restrictions
