METZ CONNECT industrial networking accessory 142M1D10050 cable length 5 m

The METZ CONNECT industrial networking accessory 142M1D10050 cable length 5 m is a factory-grade connection cable designed for use in industrial automation and control installations. With a five-metre cable length, this networking accessory provides connectivity between devices where a reliable, shielded connection and mechanical robustness are required. The product is engineered to meet the demands of continuous operation in machine rooms, control cabinets and plant floor environments.

Advantages

This industrial networking cable offers consistent signal transmission and a construction intended for industrial use. The five-metre length balances reach and manageability in cabinet and panel layouts. The cable assembly is built to resist mechanical strain and to maintain electrical integrity over long operating periods, reducing the need for frequent replacements in industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Connecting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and I/O modules
• Linking industrial Ethernet devices and switches within control cabinets
• Extending connections between sensors, actuators and controllers on the factory floor
• Temporary or permanent interconnections during machine commissioning and maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Application area: industrial networking and automation
• Construction: assembled connection cable suitable for control cabinet and machine-level use
• Mechanical properties: designed for strain resistance and repeated handling in industrial conditions
• Signal characteristics: suitable for reliable digital data transmission in automation networks

How to use

Route the 5 m cable through the cabinet or along cable trays following standard installation practice for industrial networks. Ensure connectors are mated fully and any locking mechanisms are engaged where applicable. Avoid sharp bends and secure the cable at intervals to prevent mechanical stress on connectors. Comply with grounding and shielding requirements of the control system to maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Inspect the cable and connectors before installation for visible damage. Use appropriate cable entry points and strain relief in cabinets. When operating in high-interference environments, maintain recommended separation from power lines and follow the control system manufacturer’s guidelines for cable routing and grounding.
