METZ CONNECT M12 X-coded Patch Cable, SF/UTP CAT 6a, 2.0m, Green, Halogen-Free, Drag Chain Compatible

The METZ CONNECT 142M6X11020 is a high-performance industrial Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding environments. Featuring M12 X-coded connectors on both ends, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over CAT 6a specifications. The SF/UTP shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, while the halogen-free jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces. With a length of 2.0 meters and a robust 7.8 mm outer diameter, this cable is ideal for connecting industrial devices such as switches, sensors, and actuators in automation networks.

Advantages

This cable offers superior signal integrity and durability for industrial applications. The X-coded M12 connectors ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection, and the drag chain compatibility allows for continuous flexing in moving cable carriers. The halogen-free material reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for use in public buildings and transportation systems.
