METZ CONNECT M12 Connection Cable Black 4-Pin X-Coded 2m - Network - 2 m

The METZ CONNECT M12 connection cable is a high-performance industrial Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding environments. With M12 male connectors on both ends, 4-pin X-coded configuration, and a length of 2 meters, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) and is ideal for PROFINET and EtherCAT applications. The black PUR jacket provides excellent durability, oil and UV resistance, and halogen-free construction, making it suitable for harsh industrial settings.

Advantages

This cable offers robust performance with S/FTP (PiMF) shielding for superior electromagnetic interference protection. Its IP67 rating when mated ensures protection against dust and water ingress. The X-coded design prevents incorrect mating and supports high-speed data transfer. The PUR jacket is flexible, abrasion-resistant, and withstands extreme temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.
