METZ CONNECT M12 to RJ45 Patch Cable, Cat.5e, 2m, D-coded, PUR, Green

The METZ CONNECT M12 to RJ45 patch cable is a high-quality industrial Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in harsh environments. With a rugged M12 D-coded male connector on one end and an RJ45 male connector on the other, this pre-assembled cable ensures a secure and waterproof connection (IP67 when mated). Ideal for use in factory automation, fieldbus systems, and industrial networking applications.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional durability and performance. The shielded design (SF/UTP equivalent) minimizes electromagnetic interference, while the PUR jacket provides excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and mechanical stress. The D-coded M12 connector ensures correct orientation and prevents mismating, and the 4-pin configuration supports Fast Ethernet up to 100 Mbit/s. Halogen-free and flame-retardant, it meets stringent safety standards.
