METZ CONNECT M12 Male to M12 Male Connection Cable, 8-pole, X-coded, Straight, 5 m, PUR, Green, Shielded, Cat.6A, Torsion-resistant

The METZ CONNECT M12 connection cable is a high-performance industrial Ethernet cable designed for demanding applications in robotics, automation, and industrial networking. With M12 male connectors on both ends, 8-pole X-coded configuration, and a length of 5 meters, this cable ensures reliable data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (Cat.6A). The PUR jacket provides excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance to torsion, making it ideal for use in moving cable chains and harsh environments.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional torsion resistance, ensuring long service life in robotic and automation applications where constant movement occurs. The X-coding prevents mismating and supports high-speed data transfer. Shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference, while the IP67 protection class (when mated) guarantees dust and water resistance. Halogen-free and flame-retardant materials enhance safety in industrial settings.
