I have been asked by a customer if we can mount my networked product in a I P67 case. It has three connectors, power, RS232(D connector) and Ethernet(RJ45 10/100 ) which need to pass through the case wall. For the power and RS232 I am intending to use Souriau UTS Hi seal connector s (basically circular IP68 waterproof connectors) I am wondering if the same connector could be used for the Ethernet. I know its not impedence matched, but looking at the wiring in many ethernet wall sockets they must have some miss match too and they still work. The cable from the connector to the Ethernet socket on our PCB would be around 15cm. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
