Digitus CAT 6A M12 Jack X-coded IP67 Male Connector Silver Flat

DIGITUS M12 CAT 6A Jack X-coded is a compact field-assembly connector designed for 10 GBit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3an), PoE/PoE+ and UPoE, and HDBaseT applications. The connector offers CAT 6A performance with backward compatibility to CAT 6 and CAT 5e, and is built for use in industrial and outdoor environments where space is limited.

Advantages

The rugged construction resists extreme temperatures, vibrations and moisture, providing reliable operation in harsh conditions. CAT 6A capability supports data rates up to 10 Gbps for high-speed transmission. A shielding system reduces electromagnetic interference to improve signal integrity. The connector’s simple screwable (push-pull) termination mechanism enables secure and straightforward field assembly even in confined spaces.

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT 6A, backward-compatible with CAT 6 and CAT 5e
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (IEEE 802.3an)
• Application: Ethernet, PoE / PoE+ / UPoE, HDBaseT
• Design: X-coded, M12 jack for field assembly
• Environmental resistance: built for extreme temperatures, vibration and moisture
• Shielding: integrated EMI shielding to reduce interference
• Termination: screwable / push-pull field assembly mechanism

How to use

Prepare cable ends according to the manufacturer’s instructions, align conductors with the X-coded contacts and perform the field termination using the screwable mechanism until the connection is secure. Ensure shielding is properly connected to maintain EMI protection. Mount the M12 jack in the intended panel or device and verify functionality with appropriate network testing equipment to confirm 10 Gbps capability and PoE delivery where required.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use CAT 6A-rated cables and follow grounding/shielding guidance. Verify compatibility with connected equipment for PoE and HDBaseT functions and perform post-installation testing in the target environment.
