METZ CONNECT M12 to RJ45 Patch Cable, X-coded, 4-pin, 5.0 m, Cat.6A, S/FTP, PUR, Green

The METZ CONNECT connection cable M12 male to RJ45 male is a high-performance industrial Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in harsh environments. With X-coding and 4-pin configuration, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) and meets Cat.6A standards. The cable features S/FTP shielding (PiMF) for excellent electromagnetic compatibility, a robust PUR jacket for oil, UV, and abrasion resistance, and an IP67-rated M12 connector when mated. Ideal for factory automation, machinery, and outdoor applications.

Advantages

• Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed data transfer
• X-coded M12 connector ensures secure, vibration-proof connection
• S/FTP shielding minimizes interference in industrial settings
• PUR jacket withstands oil, UV, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C)
• Halogen-free and flame-retardant for safety

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet networks in automation and control systems
• Connecting field devices, sensors, and actuators to switches or controllers
