Gigabit Ethernet is quickly becoming the standard in industrial networking as more video applications, sensors, and other devices require faster, higher-volume voice, video, and data transfer.
M12 X-Code cables are a type of category 7e cable (CAT 7A), standardized twisted pair cables for Ethernet. Cat.7A cable is rated for transmission frequencies up to 1000 MHz and supports 10 Gbps.
The male M12 connector features X-code keying alignment which allows for blind-mating while the recessed pins within the die-cast metal shield prevent damage to the pins during coupling. Equipped with an overmolded housing, these tough cordsets and patchords are rated IP67 and can withstand harsh industrial environments where extreme vibration, shock, chemicals, and temperature are found.
