Environmental
Coated RJ Female and Male Connectors Designed
for Harsh Environments. Xmultiple provides two solutions
for Anti-Corrosion Connectors. Our X-Sealant is a chemical
coating of the RJ female jack connector and the X-Sealant
Gel is a patent pending RJ male plug with integrated Gel.
Xmultiple X-Sealant Chemical Coated Connectors
RJ Style Connector contact pins material is made of phosphors
bronze by most connector manufacturers. The phosphors bronze
material remains the principal material for use of RJ connectors
in computers, networking devices and for other electronic
products for the industries in the communications, automobiles,
appliances, and industrial machinery equipment marketplaces.
Because of phosphor bronze metals vulnerability to attack
by aggressive chemical environments or even from simple
atmospheric oxidation, metal coating is necessary to provide
various degrees of protection. Xmultiple has developed a
chemical coating sealant which is applied to the contact
pins and to the metal shielding material if the RJ connector
is of the shielded variety. The metal shielding of the RJ
connectors is made of copper alloy and tin plating. The
Xmultiple chemical coating sealant is applied in a hot-dipped
process to evenly providing a tough chemical coating to
protect the contact pins and shielding. In general, corrosive
environments contain more than one active material, and
the coating must resist penetration by a combination of
oxidizers, solvents, or both. The Xmultiple sealant connectors
are only a deterrent to the environment conditions and cannot
guarantee protection from all these conditions over a long
period of time. Xmultiple warrants testing must be done
by each user to determine if our sealant will work in your
specific conditions.

X-Sealant Gel Male RJ Plugs
Xmultiple's X-Sealant GEL RJ male connector provides sealing
and corrosion protection for indoor and outdoor equipment.
The X-sealant RJ male connectors are designed to seal the
individual wires and contacts within both the male RJ connector
and the female RJ connector. X-Sealant Gel is released into
the female connector jack once the male plug is connected.
Xmultiple's X-Sealant male RJ Connectors are filled with
protective GEL. Link

X-Sealant GEL By The Tube
X-Sealant
GEL is available in tubes (3 oz.). Xmultiple's X-Sealant
GEL provide sealing and corrosion protection for indoor
and outdoor equipment. Apply X-Sealant GEL directly to female
and male connectors of any type.

X-Sealant
Anti-Corrosion Gel is a specially formulated high molecular
weight connector gel used as a dielectric compound and as
a corrosion inhibitor. It is a superior oxidation barrier.

Integrity
of the Xmultiple Sealant Coating in Use
Physical integrity of the Xmultiple chemical coating sealant
is an excellent chemical barrier for harsh properties in
most applications. For instance, metal chemical coatings
are impellers which used in cold and warm conditions and
provide good protection from outdoor connections of the
connector contact pins. The chemical coating sealant is
made to protect from specific environments, including thermal
conditions.
Sealant Metal Coating Properties
One
of the most common and inexpensive protection methods for
metal is provided by metal coating with chemical sealant
properties. The sealant coating is produced by hot-dipping
techniques. The Xmultiple chemical sealant works as a barrier
metal coating and as a protective metal coating to prevent
oxidation. If the chemical coating sealant is scratched
or penetrated, it continues to provide protection by its
penetrating action until the chemical sealant layer is depleted.
This sacrificial action also prevents corrosion around pitted
contact pin holes and rough edges.
Xmultiple UltraJAX Connectors for Extreme Harsh Conditions
with X-Sealant Coating as well.
UltraJax
Plus is a new breed of connector designed to deliver a robust
Ethernet connection in even the harshest environments. UltraJax
female connectors have no contact pins in the RJ interior
opening to be exposed to harsh outside conditions. The UltraJax
Plus female connector's interior has a printed circuit board
with contact pads (coated with X-Sealant) which mates to
the UltraJax male connector.

UltraJax
Plus connectors are tougher, stronger, durable and more
resistant than any previous Ethernet connector. UltraJax
Plus connectors are designed to withstand the most punishing
industrial conditions and applications which include high
cable stress. In cable structures of today care must be
taken to not bend the cable immediately at the point where
the male RJ connector is inserted into the female. With
UltraJax Plus this type of sharp bending can be applied
and still maintain the integrity of the connector.
Benefits
and Features of the UltraJax Plus extend beyond just the
Environment in the Premise Market Key advantages of the
UltraJax Plus connectors include superior resistance to
moisture and liquids and the elimination of traditional
RJ connectors spring action contact pins. The UltraJax Plus
uses no metal parts inside the connector except for contact
pads on a printed circuit board inside the UltraJax Plus
insertion cavity. The printed circuit board design feature
increases the mating cycle rate of the connector dramatically
over traditional RJ connector while reducing the exposure
risks to environmental elements. The contact pads on the
printed circuit board of the UltraJax Plus are chemically
treated to reduce the risk to corrosion. The UltraJax Plus
female connectors can have chemical coating and the contact
pads also can have a high density nickel and gold plating.
UltraJax Plus connectors are made to provide the greatest
possible environment protection of a connector which is
not a sealed connector. Most office environments do not
need harsh environmental connectors, however this added
protection will improve protection of securing a users network
and cable structure. UltraJax Plus are designed to withstand
the rigors of harsh environment of moisture expose as well
as extreme vibration. The UltraJax Plus connectors have
the protection features of many sealed connectors which
have resistance levels to solid materials and resistance
to liquid contaminants.

Harsh Environment- Application Note
Xmultiple Patent Pending Protection
The Xmultiple patent pending filing for the environment
chemical sealant describes the metal coatings more accurately
as conversion coatings, because it produces a protective
layer or film on the metal surface by means of a chemical
reaction. The chemical coating is applied without changing
the part dimensions. Because we must protect his patent
filing, Xmultiple is unable to disclose the ingredients
used in the chemical coating sealant. Therefore, users of
the Xmultiple sealant coating must test the coating in there
laboratories or place the units in harsh environments to
see if our sealant will work for your requirement.
Listed
below are frequently asked question regarding Gel application
and use.
How
often does this Gel have to be re-applied?
Answer:
The number of times plugs are inserted will determine the
number of times gel must be applied. If the gel is applied
and the male plug is inserted, you will never have to reapply
the gel again until 2 years or more of service. This is
under normal useage conditions in a protected environment.
If multiple insertions occur you will have to reapply the
gel with each insertion. This is our recommendation however
this gel is design to not run, drip or evaporate, so this
is not absolutely required to reapply gel and the determination
must be made by the user.
How many insertions of the male jack can there be
before the Gel needs to be re-applied?
Answered
above.
What is the recommended best practices for applying
the Gel?
Answer:
The 3oz tube was designed to make the application of the
gel easy for the user. The gel is applied directly from
the tube into the female connector. A small drop inserted
on the contact pins inside the female is all that is required.
The male plug is then inserted into the connector.
Could we potentially apply this to our jacks in
the manufacturing process?
Answer:
Yes, Users can have the Gel applied during the assembly
process of their products.
The
answer is also "Yes" if Xmultiple applies the
Gel during our process of manufacturing a connector for
a customer. However, if Xmultiple applies the Gel during
our manufacturing of a connector the cost of the Gel inserted
into the jacks during the manufacturing increases the pricing
and has a minimum order quantitiy.
