Adapter DELOCK M12 X-coded 8‑pin male to RJ45 plug, gold contacts, black

DELOCK M12 X-coded adapter converts an M12 8‑pin male connection into a standard RJ45 plug. The compact black PVC housing and gold‑plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and resistance to corrosion, making the adapter suitable for industrial Ethernet, fieldbus systems and connections to devices with M12 interfaces.

Advantages

The adapter provides a space-saving interface between M12 X‑coded 8‑pin connectors and RJ45 ports, using gold‑plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its PVC housing offers mechanical protection and a compact form factor that is convenient for installation in confined industrial environments.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for signal and data connectivity and does not provide surge protection, galvanic isolation, or environmental sealing beyond the mechanical protection of the PVC housing. It may not be suitable where specific IP‑rated environmental protection, vibration-rated ruggedization, or additional electrical protections are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the M12 X-coded end into the matching M12 female connector on the device or cable and firmly press until the connection is seated. Plug the RJ45 end into the corresponding RJ45 network port. Ensure connectors are aligned correctly before insertion and avoid excessive force. Use in accordance with the network and device wiring specifications to maintain correct signal transmission.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the adapter for short interconnections or to adapt device interfaces; avoid using it as a permanent substitute where sealed or ruggedized connectors are required. Inspect contacts periodically and replace the adapter if corrosion or physical damage is observed.
