IP68-rated enclosure with NEMA protection creates a rugged housing for control circuits and sensors. This level of ingress protection minimizes ingress-related failures, reduces cleaning cycles, and lowers maintenance costs across outdoor, washdown, or dusty environments. In practice, engineers deploy MP8FC000 in control panels and remote device enclosures where reliability is non-negotiable.The 8-port passive connector scheme with male and female interfaces simplifies field terminations. Configured as PNP, it supports straightforward power and signal distribution for 120 Vac systems, reducing wiring errors and commissioning time. This translates to measurable time savings during panel builds and service updates, and it plays well with LynxPOWER-compatible cordsets and receptacles.Output port: 3 holes; input port: 10 holes ensures flexibility for multi-channel I/O in compact spaces. That port architecture aligns with common industrial I/O layouts, enabling scalable expansion.Compact footprint: 2.38 in depth, 7.37 in height, 1.5 in width fits tight cabinets; weight 1 lb supports easy handling during installation. This helps technicians mount the box alongside other equipment without overbuilding the enclosure.Compliance: Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations and IEC NEC/CEC standards provide regulatory confidence for light-industrial applications. Manufacturers can source with confidence, knowing the enclosure aligns with established safety and performance requirements.Compatibility and installation: Works within the LynxPOWER ecosystem; catalog references guide selection and spare-part planning. The design supports straightforward sourcing, fast procurement, and scalable installations for growing control networks.

FAQs
MP8FC000 is designed for LynxPOWER Mini-Line systems with 8-port, passive male and female connectors and a PNP configuration. It fits standard LynxPOWER accessories and receptacles, enabling straightforward panel mounting in ordinary locations. For best results, pair with compatible cordsets and gasketed mounting plates to preserve IP68 protection during installation and service.
The unit supports 120 Vac operation across 8 ports with output holes at 3 and input holes at 10, in a compact 2.38 in depth by 7.37 in height by 1.5 in width package. It is a passive connector arrangement with male and female interfaces, suitable for 120 Vac control and signaling networks while delivering IP68 protection and robust NEMA ratings.
MP8FC000 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per area classification. While it provides IP68 sealing and strong enclosure protection, it is not certified for hazardous environments. For hazardous areas, consider components explicitly rated for those classifications and consult local standards for compliance.
Key standards include IEC NEC/CEC and NEMA ratings 4, 13, 6P, 3, 1, along with IP68 ingress protection. These certifications indicate reliable performance in industrial panels, compatibility with common electrical codes, and suitability for non-hazardous, non-explosive environments. Compliance reduces risk, accelerates audits, and supports long-term reliability.
MP8FC000 delivers faster wiring and commissioning due to its 8-port passive design, reducing field termination time and human error. IP68/NEMA protection lowers ingress-related maintenance, while the modular LynxPOWER approach supports scalable upgrades, lowering total cost of ownership and downtime in mission-critical control panels.
