METZ CONNECT 142M2X25100 Industrial Ethernet Cable - 10 m Cat 6a S/FTP, M12 X-coded Plug to RJ45 Male, Halogen-Free Green

Industrial Ethernet networks often face harsh conditions where standard cables fail, leading to signal loss, corrosion, or downtime. The METZ CONNECT 142M2X25100 solves these challenges with a rugged 10-meter Cat 6a S/FTP cable, engineered for reliable 10 Gigabit data transmission in demanding automation environments. Its halogen-free green jacket ensures safety and visibility, while the M12 X-coded plug and RJ45 male connector provide secure, high-performance connectivity.

Who is it for

This cable is ideal for system integrators, machine builders, and maintenance engineers working with industrial automation, machine vision, or process control. It suits applications requiring robust Ethernet connections between sensors, cameras, PLCs, and switches, especially where vibration, moisture, or tight spaces are present.

Main features

• Cat 6a performance supporting 10GBASE-T up to 10 Gbps
• S/FTP shielding (screened and foiled twisted pairs) for superior EMI immunity
• M12 X-coded plug (8-pin, IP67) to RJ45 male connector
• Halogen-free (LSZH) jacket for low smoke and toxicity in fire situations
• Stranded conductors for flexibility in moving applications
• Outer diameter of 6.4 mm for easy routing in cable carriers
