InLine Industrial network cable, M12 4-pin D-coded male plug to RJ45, PUR 1m

The InLine Industrial network cable M12 4-pin D-coded to RJ45 (1 m) is a robust industrial Ethernet connection cable designed for automation and fieldbus systems. It combines a waterproof IP67 M12 D-coded male plug with an IP20 RJ45 socket and a PUR jacket that is flame-retardant (UL 94), oil- and UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant and halogen-free. The cable supports D-coded CAT5E performance for data rates up to 100 Mbit/s and is optimized for use in production lines, mechanical engineering and other demanding industrial environments.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable CAT5E-rated data transmission up to 100 Mbit/s with shielded SF/UTP construction and AWG 24 conductors. Its PUR sheath provides high resistance to chemicals, oils and mechanical wear while remaining halogen-free and flame-retardant. The M12 connector is protected to IP67 for use in damp or dusty conditions, and the assembly is designed for high mechanical endurance: suitable for drag chains up to 10 million bends and torsion-resistant up to 3 million cycles.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet connections in automation and fieldbus systems
• Production lines and conveyor systems with moving cables
• Mechanical engineering equipment and machine control cabinets
• Environments with oil, UV exposure or abrasive conditions

How to use

Connect the M12 4-pin D-coded male plug to the corresponding M12 D-coded female socket on your industrial device or panel and insert the RJ45 plug into the network switch, router or Ethernet input. Ensure correct D-coding alignment when mating M12 connectors. Route the cable following the specified dynamic bending radius and avoid sharp bends; secure the cable in drag chains or cable carriers as required by the installation. Check sealing interfaces for dirt or damage before using the M12 connector in wet environments.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, install the cable without exceeding the specified dynamic bending radius and observe the torsion limits. Use the IP67 M12 side in exposed or humid locations and the IP20 RJ45 side only inside protected housings or switch cabinets. Inspect connectors periodically for contamination and replace the cable if the PUR jacket shows significant wear.
