Overview

The Neutrik NE8FDV is a professional-grade RJ45 Ethernet panel connector from the etherCON D series, designed for environments where reliability and durability matter more than cost savings. Unlike standard keystone RJ45 jacks that can be accidentally pulled free, this panel-mount receptacle secures firmly into a D-series cutout and accepts both standard RJ45 plugs and Neutrik's locking etherCON cable connectors. This dual compatibility makes it a versatile choice for permanent installations, touring rigs, broadcast studios, and any setting where a loose network cable could mean downtime.

The 8P8C connector uses bronze contacts with gold plating, which provides superior conductivity and resists the oxidation that can degrade signal quality over time — a meaningful advantage in environments with frequent connect/disconnect cycles or exposure to humidity and dust. The connector is fully RoHS compliant. Its standard D-series footprint means it drops into the same panel cutouts used across Neutrik's extensive connector ecosystem, allowing integrators to mix Ethernet, XLR, and other connection types in a single unified panel layout.
