M12 X Code Profinet Free End Cable

M12 X-Coded 8-Pin to Free Cable End

According to the supplied wiring drawing, the M12 X-coded plug uses eight conductors arranged as four color-coded pairs. Each M12 contact is connected directly to the corresponding conductor at the free cable end.

The four conductor pairs are orange, green, brown and blue. Before installation, confirm the M12 X-coded interface and the required equipment-side pin assignment. The free conductors should be terminated according to the target device wiring requirements.

M12 X-Coded Male to Custom Equipment Wiring

The M12 side of this M12 X-coded PROFINET cable with free end is intended to mate with a compatible M12 X-coded female Ethernet interface. The free end can then be integrated into the internal wiring architecture of the target equipment.

Compatibility depends on the M12 X-coding, connector gender, 8-pin interface, equipment-side wiring and network requirements. Confirm the target device pinout before ordering or terminating the free cable end.

What UL ratings are specified?

The supplied cable description specifies c(UL)us Type CMX according to UL 444 and UL AWM Styles 11117 and 21576 according to UL 758, with a stated AWM rating of 1000 V and 80 °C.

What standard cable lengths are available?

Standard variants are 1.0 m, 2.0 m, 5.0 m and 10.0 m. Other cable lengths are available on request.

Can Premier Cable customize the free cable end?

Yes. Premier Cable can manufacture custom cable lengths and free-end preparations according to customer drawings and target equipment requirements.

M12 X-Coded Ethernet Cable for Industrial Integration

For installations requiring a rugged M12 Ethernet interface and flexible equipment-side termination, the M12 X-coded PROFINET free end cable provides a practical solution. The combination of an M12 X-coded male to open wire cable, PROFINET Type C construction, Cat 7 transmission characteristics, shielding and a torsion-resistant PUR jacket makes the assembly suitable for demanding factory networks. Typical requirements include an M12 X-coded cable for factory automation, an M12 X-coded cable for machine vision systems, an M12 Ethernet cable for PLC wiring or a torsion-resistant PROFINET cable for industrial robotics. Custom lengths and free-end preparation allow the cable assembly to be adapted to OEM industrial Ethernet equipment without requiring a fixed connector on both ends.
