M12 D-Coded Female To RJ45 Ethernet Cable

M12 D-Coded 4-Pin Female to RJ45

According to the supplied wiring drawing, the four M12 D-coded Ethernet conductors are terminated to the corresponding Ethernet pairs on the RJ45 plug. RJ45 pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not connected in the supplied wiring diagram.

The supplied pin assignment maps M12 Pin 1 to RJ45 Pin 1, M12 Pin 2 to RJ45 Pin 3, M12 Pin 3 to RJ45 Pin 2 and M12 Pin 4 to RJ45 Pin 6. This M12 D-coded to RJ45 pinout supports the shown Industrial Ethernet connection; always confirm the target equipment interface before installation.

M12 D-Coded to RJ45 Ethernet Interfaces

This M12 D-coded to RJ45 cable is intended to connect equipment using a compatible 4-pin M12 D-coded Ethernet interface to devices with a standard RJ45 Ethernet port. Typical connections include field devices to PLCs, industrial switches, controllers and protected network equipment.

Before ordering an M12 D-coded to RJ45 Ethernet cable, confirm the M12 D-coding, RJ45 interface, pin assignment, required cable length and network specification. Premier Cable can customize M12 to RJ45 cable lengths according to customer drawings and machine requirements.

What is an M12 D-coded Ethernet cable?

An M12 D-coded Ethernet cable uses a keyed 4-pin M12 circular interface for Industrial Ethernet communication in automation equipment, industrial machinery and compatible PROFINET networks.

What is the connector configuration of this cable?

This cable uses a straight M12 D-coded 4-pin female jack on one end and a straight RJ45 male plug on the other, creating an M12 D-Code female to RJ45 Industrial Ethernet cable.

Is this M12 cable suitable for PROFINET?

Yes. The supplied cable specification identifies the cable as PROFINET Type C and Cat5e for compatible Industrial Ethernet automation applications.

Can this M12 Ethernet cable be used in drag chains?

Yes. Its flexible PUR construction is designed for dynamic installations. The supplied cable specification indicates drag-chain suitability with up to 3 million bending cycles under specified operating conditions.

How is the M12 D-coded to RJ45 cable wired?

According to the supplied wiring diagram: M12 Pin 1 (yellow) connects to RJ45 Pin 1, M12 Pin 2 (white) to RJ45 Pin 3, M12 Pin 3 (orange) to RJ45 Pin 2, and M12 Pin 4 (blue) to RJ45 Pin 6. RJ45 pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not connected.

What are the conductor colors?

The supplied drawing specifies yellow for Pin 1, white for Pin 2, orange for Pin 3 and blue for Pin 4.

Where is an M12 D-coded to RJ45 cable used?

Typical applications include PLC & control systems, sensors & field devices, factory automation, industrial machinery, drag chains and compatible PROFINET equipment.

What standard cable lengths are available?

Standard variants include 1 m, 2 m, 5 m and 10 m. Other cable lengths can be customized according to project requirements.

Can Premier Cable provide custom M12 cable assemblies?

Yes. Premier Cable can customize cable length, labeling, connector configuration and other cable assembly requirements according to customer drawings.

What should be confirmed before ordering?

Please confirm the M12 D-coded mating interface, connector gender, pin assignment, required cable length, target equipment and installation conditions before ordering.
