Key Product Advantages
100 Mbps Industrial Ethernet
CAT5 two-pair construction supports Ethernet communication up to 100 Mbps for compatible PROFINET, EtherCAT, remote I/O, field devices, controllers and industrial Ethernet switches.
Space-Saving Right Angle RJ45
The 90-degree RJ45 plug changes the cable exit direction, reduces installation depth and simplifies Ethernet cable routing around switches, controllers and other equipment installed in compact spaces.
Shielded Industrial Ethernet Cable
The shielded M12 D-code to RJ45 Ethernet cable helps maintain stable data transmission in industrial automation environments where electromagnetic interference may be present.
Pin Assignment & Wiring
M12 D-Coded Male to Right Angle RJ45
This cable uses a 4-pin M12 D-coded male connector and a right-angle RJ45 male plug for two-pair industrial Ethernet. The final pin-to-pin wiring should follow the approved Premier Cable production drawing and the interface requirements of the connected equipment.
| Interface | Configuration |
| End A | M12 D-Coded, 4-Pin, Male, Straight |
| End B | RJ45 Male Plug, Right Angle / 90° |
| Ethernet Pairs | 2 Twisted Pairs / 4 Conductors |
| Network Type | 100BASE-TX Industrial Ethernet |
| Final Pinout | Confirm According to Approved Production Drawing |
Important: Do not determine compatibility from connector appearance alone. Confirm M12 D-coding, connector gender, pin assignment, Ethernet protocol and the approved production drawing before ordering or installation.
Mating & Compatibility
M12 D-Coded Male to Standard RJ45 Network Equipment
The M12 side of this M12 D-code to RJ45 industrial Ethernet cable is designed to mate with a compatible M12 D-coded female Ethernet interface. The right-angle RJ45 male plug connects to compatible RJ45 Ethernet ports on industrial switches, controllers, gateways and industrial computers.
| Connection | Configuration |
| M12 Side | M12 D-Coded 4-Pin Male, Straight |
| Mating Interface | Compatible M12 D-Coded Female Ethernet Interface |
| RJ45 Side | Shielded RJ45 Male Plug, Right Angle |
| Network Performance | CAT5 / Up to 100 Mbps |
| Network Compatibility | PROFINET / EtherCAT / 100BASE-TX |
| Typical Integration | Remote I/O, Field Devices, Industrial Switches, Controllers & Machinery |
Compatibility depends on M12 D-coding, connector gender, approved pin assignment, RJ45 interface and network requirements. IP65/IP67 protection applies to the M12 connection when correctly mated and secured with a compatible interface. The standard RJ45 end is IP20 and should not be described as IP67.
Applications
Custom M12 to RJ45 Cable Assemblies
Premier Cable provides customized M12 to RJ45 industrial Ethernet cable assemblies for industrial automation projects. Cable length, jacket material, cable color, labeling, packaging and wiring can be evaluated according to customer drawings and application requirements.
PVC and PUR cable options can be evaluated for different industrial applications. For drag-chain, torsion or continuous-motion installations, the cable construction and dynamic performance must be specifically selected and verified rather than assumed from the connector configuration.
FAQ
What is an M12 D-code to right angle RJ45 Ethernet cable?
It is an industrial Ethernet cable assembly with a 4-pin M12 D-coded male connector on one end and a right-angle RJ45 male plug on the other. It provides a connection between compatible M12 Ethernet interfaces and conventional RJ45 network equipment.
What Ethernet speed does this cable support?
The CAT5 two-pair configuration is intended for industrial Ethernet communication up to 100 Mbps. Actual performance also depends on the final cable specification, connected equipment and complete network installation.
Does this M12 to RJ45 cable support PROFINET?
Yes. The M12 D-coded CAT5 configuration is suitable for compatible 100 Mbps PROFINET industrial Ethernet applications, subject to the final cable specification, pin assignment and equipment interface requirements.
Can this cable be used for EtherCAT?
Yes. It can be configured for compatible EtherCAT CAT5 industrial Ethernet applications operating at 100 Mbps. Connector coding and final pin assignment should be confirmed before production.
What is the connector configuration?
End A uses a 4-pin M12 D-coded male connector in a straight configuration. End B uses a right-angle RJ45 male plug.
Why use a right-angle RJ45 Ethernet connector?
The 90-degree RJ45 connector reduces installation depth and changes the cable exit direction, making cable routing easier around industrial Ethernet switches, controllers and other equipment installed in space-limited environments.
Is this M12 D-code to RJ45 cable shielded?
Yes. The specified industrial Ethernet configuration uses shielding to help maintain reliable data transmission in electrically demanding automation environments.
Is the complete cable assembly IP67?
No. The M12 connection can provide IP65/IP67 protection when correctly mated and secured with a compatible interface. The standard RJ45 connector is IP20, so the complete cable assembly should not be described as fully IP67.
What equipment can this cable connect?
Typical applications include compatible remote I/O modules, field devices, industrial Ethernet switches, controllers, automated machinery and industrial computers equipped with the required Ethernet interfaces.
Can Premier Cable customize the cable length?
Yes. Premier Cable can provide custom cable lengths and evaluate jacket material, connector configuration, labeling, cable color, wiring and packaging requirements for OEM and industrial projects.
How should compatibility be confirmed?
Confirm M12 D-coding, connector gender, mating interface, Ethernet protocol, equipment requirements and final pin assignment against the approved production drawing before ordering or installation.
