METZ CONNECT M12 Industrial Ethernet Patch Cable, D-coded, 4-pin, 5.0 m, Shielded, Green

The METZ CONNECT M12 Industrial Ethernet Patch Cable is a high-performance connection solution designed for demanding industrial environments. With M12 male connectors on both ends—one angled and one straight—this D-coded, 4-pin cable ensures reliable data transmission for PROFINET, EtherCAT, and other Industrial Ethernet applications. The shielded design and robust PUR jacket provide excellent protection against electromagnetic interference and mechanical stress, making it ideal for factory automation, machine building, and process control.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional durability and signal integrity. The angled connector allows for flexible routing in tight spaces, while the straight connector ensures a secure, straightforward connection. The IP67 protection rating (when mated) guarantees resistance to dust and water ingress, and the wide operating temperature range (-25 °C to +85 °C) ensures reliable performance in harsh conditions. The green jacket color aids in easy identification and organization within complex cabling systems.
