Network Cable METZ CONNECT 142M2X90010 RJ45 Ethernet IPX7 2m Black

The METZ CONNECT network cable is a shielded M12 X-coded Ethernet connection cable designed for industrial use. It is Cat.6A, 8-pole and features an angled M12 connector on one end with a 315° coding position and a free line end on the other. The connector is overmolded and the cable uses stranded wires (4x2xAWG26/7) with an overall tinned copper braid shield. The green PUR jacket provides mechanical resistance and the product is available in standard lengths including 1.0 m, 2.0 m, 5.0 m and 10.0 m; other lengths are available on request.

Advantages

The construction with an overall tinned copper braid shield and X-coded M12 connector supports Cat.6A performance for high-speed industrial Ethernet connections while reducing electromagnetic interference. The overmolded angled M12 connector with 315° coding position ensures a secure and compact connection in confined installation spaces. The PUR jacket and stranded conductor design improve flexibility and durability under mechanical stress.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Industrial Ethernet installations requiring Cat.6A performance
• Machine and factory automation with limited connector clearance
• Environments needing a robust, shielded Ethernet link
• Situations where custom cable lengths are required

How to use

Connect the angled M12 X-coded connector to the corresponding M12 X-coded port on network equipment, ensuring the 315° coding position matches the device socket orientation. Route the free line end into the termination or breakout assembly required for your installation and terminate according to standard Ethernet wiring practices. Ensure the cable is secured and strain-relieved to prevent mechanical stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable Cat.6A performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended minimum bend radius for PUR-jacketed cables. If deploying in wet or exposed areas, verify device-level ingress protection compatibility; IPX7-rated assemblies require appropriate mating connectors and housings.
