Adapter M12 X-coded 8-pin female to RJ45 plug, DELOCK 90834, gold-plated contacts, black

The Delock adapter converts an X-coded 8-pin M12 female connector to a standard RJ45 plug, enabling connection between M12-equipped industrial devices and conventional Ethernet cabling. It is designed for industrial Ethernet, cameras and fieldbus systems where reliable signal transmission and robust connector interfaces are required.

Advantages

Gold-plated contact surfaces improve signal integrity and resist corrosion in industrial environments. The compact black PVC housing provides basic mechanical protection and insulation while keeping the adapter lightweight and easy to install.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This passive adapter does not provide electrical isolation, surge protection, or signal conversion beyond pin mapping; it is intended for direct wired connections where the wiring and signaling standards already match. It is not a sealed or CPR-rated cable gland replacement and may not meet extreme mechanical or environmental protection requirements by itself.

Key specifications

How to use

Align the M12 female connector with the corresponding male M12 X-coded port on the device and engage the coupling thread until secure. Insert the RJ45 plug into the network socket until it latches. Verify pinout compatibility and network settings before powering the system to ensure correct signal mapping and avoid damage to connected equipment.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the adapter for short interconnections in controlled industrial environments and verify compatibility with device pinouts and network parameters; consider using shielded cables and proper grounding practices to maintain signal integrity in noisy environments.
