METZ CONNECT 142M6X10020 M12 X-coded Cat6a SF/UTP Industrial Ethernet Patch Cable, 2m, Green PUR, 10 Gbps, IP67

Industrial M12 Ethernet patch cable engineered for reliable 10 Gigabit data transmission in harsh environments. The METZ CONNECT 142M6X10020 features M12 X-coded connectors and a robust PUR jacket that withstands acids, ozone, UV radiation, and continuous flexing, making it ideal for automation, robotics, and outdoor installations.

Advantages

This cable delivers exceptional performance and durability. The SF/UTP shielding (braid + foil) ensures superior electromagnetic interference rejection, enabling stable 10GBASE-T connections. The halogen-free PUR jacket is flame-retardant, oil-resistant, and suitable for drag chains, guaranteeing long service life even under mechanical stress. With an IP67 rating when mated, the connectors are protected against dust and temporary immersion.
