FAQ

Q: What does "D-Code" signify on an M8 connector? How does it differ from "A-Code"?

A: D-Code is specifically designed for Industrial Ethernet data transmission (such as Profinet or EtherNet/IP), supporting 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (up to 100 MHz, compliant with CAT5e standards). It features a unique keying design that prevents incorrect mating.
A-Code is primarily used for sensors, power supplies, or low-speed signals (e.g., 24V, 4-20mA).
The core distinction: D-Code is optimized for network communication, whereas A-Code is more general-purpose but offers inferior high-frequency performance.

Q: Can it be used for Profinet networks?

A: Yes, it can; however, please note that Profinet supports two physical layers: 100BASE-TX (4-wire, 100 Mbps) and 1000BASE-T (8-wire).
The "M8 4-Pin D-Code" is perfectly suited for Profinet's 100 Mbps implementation (which utilizes two wire pairs: 1/2 and 3/6). You must verify the cable shielding type (SF/UTP or S/FTP), as Profinet requires both individual pair shielding and overall shielding.
