EXSYS M12 A-Coded 8-Pin Male to RJ45 Female Shielded Adapter, IP67, Gigabit, PoE EX-49500

In industrial automation and machine vision setups, connecting M12-equipped sensors or cameras to standard RJ45 Ethernet infrastructure often requires a reliable adapter. The EXSYS EX-49500 provides a robust solution, converting an 8-pin M12 A-coded male connector to a female RJ45 jack. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and Power over Ethernet, making it suitable for data-intensive and powered devices. The adapter's shielded metal housing and IP67 rating ensure performance in harsh environments.

Key specifications

• Connector A: M12 A-coded, male (plug), 8-pin
• Connector B: RJ45, female (jack)
• Ethernet speed: up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Wiring standard: TIA/EIA-568B (RJ45 side)
• Shielding: shielded
• IP rating: IP67 (dustproof and waterproof)
• Housing material: metal (nickel-plated brass)
• Operating temperature: -25°C to +85°C
• PoE support: PoE/PoE+ compatible
• Contact material: gold-plated contacts
• Insulation resistance: >100 MΩ

Why choose it

This adapter eliminates the need for custom cabling when integrating M12 devices into Ethernet networks. Its rugged construction withstands vibration, dust, and moisture, while the shielded design minimizes electromagnetic interference. The wide temperature range allows deployment in demanding industrial settings.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting industrial sensors or actuators with M12 connectors to Ethernet switches or controllers.
• Machine vision systems where cameras with M12 interfaces need to link to RJ45-based processing units.
• Process control environments requiring reliable, sealed connections for data and power.

Good to know

The adapter is an inline unit, meaning it connects directly between an M12 cable and an RJ45 cable without additional mounting. Its compact design saves space in control cabinets or on machinery. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal integrity over time.
