Products Description
M12 D-Coded to X-Coded Ethernet Cable
M12 D-Coded Male to X-Coded Male | Shielded | Cat7 | PUR | UL Style 20963
The M12 D-coded to X-coded Ethernet cable provides a direct industrial network connection between equipment using M12 D-coded and M12 X-coded Ethernet interfaces. The cable combines a straight M12 D-coded male plug with a straight M12 X-coded male plug, making it a practical solution for factory Ethernet networks, fieldbus systems, PLC control architectures and industrial machinery.
Built with shielded PUR cable, this M12 D-coded male to X-coded male cable is designed for reliable industrial data transmission in demanding automation environments. The robust PUR jacket supports applications exposed to abrasion, bending and vibration while providing oil and UV resistance for industrial installations.
The cable meets UL Style 20963 requirements and provides Cat7 electrical properties based on EN 50288-4-2. Standard lengths include 1 m, 2 m, 5 m and 10 m, while Premier Cable can manufacture custom M12 D-to-X Ethernet cable lengths for OEM equipment, machine builders and industrial network projects.
