Network Cable METZ CONNECT 142M1D90020 IPX7 2m

Network Cable METZ CONNECT 142M1D90020 IPX7 2m is a shielded M12 Ethernet connection cable designed for industrial data transmission. It is a Cat.5e, 4‑pole, D‑coded cable with an angled M12 plug on the free line end, featuring extrusion-coated cable sealing at the connector and a green PUR jacket. The cable has an overall tinned copper braid shielding and an inner FRNC sheath with aluminum-coated foil. Length: 2.0 m (other lengths available on request).

Advantages

The METZ CONNECT 142M1D90020 provides standardized Cat.5e performance with D‑coding for Ethernet and Profinet wiring. Its angled M12 plug and extrusion-coated connector area improve mechanical protection and sealing, while the tinned copper braid and foil shielding ensure reliable signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The green PUR jacket increases resistance to abrasion, oils and mechanical stress. The IPX7 designation indicates suitability for applications with temporary water exposure when connected properly.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet and Profinet connections
• Machine-to-machine networking in production environments
• Applications requiring a compact angled M12 connector
• Environments where chemical and abrasion resistance is needed
