1. Confirm the key type (A Key vs. B Key)
A Key: used for standard industrial Ethernet (such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET), ensuring high-speed data exchange between devices.
B Key: suitable for serial communication or special industrial protocols (such as CAN bus), which need to match the device interface.
2. Choose an IX male or female plug
Male plug (Plug): usually used on the device side (such as industrial switches).
Female plug (Jack/Receptacle): commonly used in panel installation or extension cables (such as machine vision camera wiring).
We provide: male to male, male to female, panel installation, female plugs, and other full combination customization.
3. Pay attention to cable performance
Shielding type: SFTP double shielding (foil + braided layer) is preferred to resist EMI interference.
Environmental resistance: Highly flexible PUR/PVC outer skin, oil and wear resistance.
Wide temperature design (-40℃~85℃), adapted to extreme working conditions.
