DeLOCK 60061 Cable Gender Changer M12 RJ-45 Black

The DeLOCK 60061 Cable Gender Changer M12 RJ-45 is an industrial Ethernet adapter that connects devices with M12 connectors to standard RJ-45 network interfaces. With gold-plated contacts and a compact black housing, the adapter is designed for reliable data transmission and convenient installation in environments such as switch cabinets, machine control systems and automation setups.

Advantages

The adapter provides a simple interface conversion between M12 and RJ-45 connectors while gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its compact dimensions and robust construction suit installation in confined spaces like switch cabinets and industrial enclosures. The black finish and standard connector types ensure broad compatibility with existing network cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting M12-equipped sensors or actuators to RJ-45 network devices
• Integration of field devices into machine control and automation networks
• Installation inside switch cabinets and industrial control panels
• Temporary or permanent adaptation of cabling during maintenance or upgrades
