Network Adapter DeLOCK M12 8 pin X-coded male to RJ45 jack

The DeLOCK Network Adapter M12 is an industrial Ethernet adapter that converts an 8‑pin X‑coded M12 male connector to an RJ45 jack. It enables wired Ethernet connections between devices with M12 interfaces and standard RJ45 network equipment, supporting up to 10000 Mbit/s. Its compact, black design is suitable for integration into control cabinets and industrial networks.

Advantages

The adapter provides a reliable physical interface between M12 X‑coded devices and RJ45 ports, supports high data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, and has a compact form factor that simplifies installation in confined spaces such as switch cabinets. The straightforward connector conversion reduces the need for custom cabling or specialized ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting machine control units with M12 X‑coded ports to standard Ethernet switches
• Integrating sensors or actuators with M12 connectors into existing networks
• Industrial automation and factory network installations

Key specifications

• Connector A: M12 8‑pin X‑coded (male)
• Connector B: RJ45 jack
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Colour: Black
• Brand: DELOCK, MPN: 66565, EAN: 4043619665655

How to use

Insert the M12 X‑coded male connector into the corresponding female M12 port on the device and secure it according to the device’s mounting instructions. Plug a standard RJ45 patch cable into the RJ45 jack and connect it to a network switch, router, or another RJ45‑equipped device. Verify network settings and links on both ends to ensure proper communication and the desired speed.

Recommendations

Use the adapter within its intended industrial environment, avoiding exposure to conditions beyond the connected devices’ rated specifications. When installing in switch cabinets, allow sufficient cable bend radius and secure connections to prevent strain on the M12 and RJ45 connectors.
