Overview

The Mencom EP-RJ45-2USB-AFAF-32 Panel Interface Connector (PIC) provides secure, external access to control panel devices without opening the enclosure. This PIC mounts to the panel exterior and includes a Continental European outlet, an RJ45 port, and two form A USB type A ports, all housed in a 32-position enclosure. It enables technicians to connect peripherals, network cables, or USB devices directly to internal PLCs, computers, or programmable devices, eliminating the need to open the control panel door. This design enhances shop floor safety by reducing exposure to live electrical components and supports compliance with NFPA 70E safety standards. The PIC is ideal for industrial automation, manufacturing, and process control environments where quick, safe access to panel electronics is required. Mencom offers over 2000 PIC configurations, and custom designs are available upon request.
