PCM-HD-0290-2M IX Type A to RJ45 Female Industrial Ethernet Cable: 10Gbps CAT6A Connectivity for Industrial Networks
What Is an RJ45 Female Jack?
As machine vision systems, industrial robots, embedded computers and automated production equipment continue to process larger volumes of data, industrial Ethernet connectivity must provide more than basic network communication.
The IX Type A to RJ45 female industrial Ethernet cable is designed to bridge compact IX Industrial interfaces and conventional RJ45 Ethernet systems.
Quick Product Overview
Connector A: IX40G-A-10S-CV Type A male
Connector B: RJ45 CAT6 female
Cable: CAT6A S/FTP
Conductor size: 26AWG
Jacket: Green TPU
Cable OD: 6.5 ± 0.2 mm
Transmission speed: Up to 10Gbps
Standard lengths: 0.2 m and 2 m
Shielding: Individual foil shielding + overall braid
Contacts: Gold plated
PoE application support
Its primary function is to create a high-speed Ethernet connection
between industrial equipment using a compact IX Type A interface and networks based on standard RJ45 connectivity.
Technical Compatibility Reminder
IX Type A is not the same as IX Type B.
Even when two IX connectors look similar, keying and pin assignments should be checked before ordering.
Likewise, although CAT6A cabling can support high-speed Ethernet, actual system performance depends on the complete channel, including equipment ports, connector performance, cable length, installation environment and network architecture.
01
Industrial Equipment Is Becoming More Compact
Compact IX Type A connectors save installation space and fit space-limited industrial equipment better than traditional RJ45 connectors.
02
Equipment Uses IX, but the Network Still Uses RJ45
IX-to-RJ45 connectivity allows compact industrial devices to integrate easily with existing standard RJ45 Ethernet networks.
03
Industrial EMI Can Affect Network Stability
CAT6A S/FTP shielding helps reduce EMI and crosstalk, improving signal stability in electrically noisy industrial environments.
04
Machine Vision Requires High Bandwidth
CAT6A cable supports up to 10Gbps transmission, meeting high-bandwidth demands in machine vision and industrial networking.

FAQ
Q1：Can an IX Type A connector plug directly into an RJ45 port?
A1: No. IX Industrial and RJ45 use different mechanical interface structures.
A compatible cable or adapter is required to connect equipment using an IX interface to an RJ45-based Ethernet system.
Q2：Are IX Type A and IX Type B interchangeable?
A2: They should not be treated as interchangeable.
The equipment interface keying and pin assignment must be verified before ordering.
Q3: Does PCM-HD-0290 support PoE?
A3: Yes! For a specific project, the required PoE standard, device power consumption and complete channel specification should still be confirmed.
