M12 Connectors for Industrial Ethernet

Murrelektronik's industrial M12 connectors with IP67 protection are perfect to use in demanding industrial Ethernet applications. The x-coded M12 connector transfers high data quantity. The y-coded M12 connector transfers both data and power.

High speed vision systems are an example of how increasing data volumes are generated in industrial Ethernet applications. This requires higher transfer rates. And the request for a standardized communication structure in companies has become more important.

Murrelektronik's x-coded M12 cordsets are the right solution for error-free, high speed data transfers of up to 10 gigabits per second. They enable full speed transfer on the data highway. A metal cross (X-shaped) in the connector safely separates the four data pairs from each other. The cables are also shielded from external interference.

Combining RJ45 connections in the office and x-coded M12 connections in the field makes it possible to establish a consistent gigabit communication in companies.

Murrelektronik offers the x-coded M12 connectors together with highly-resistant PUR cables - they are perfect for applications in industrial environments.

  • 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate according to Cat. 6A (ISO/IEC 11801)
  • M12 x-coded (IEC 61076-2-109)
  • 360° shielded
  • Soldered shield connection between cable and connector
  • Suitable for applications in industrial environments up to IP65/67

Hybrid Cables - Parallel Transfer of Data and Power

Murrelektronik's y-coded M12 cordsets can transfer data and power in one connector. The metal y-coding separates the four contacts for power transfer from the four signal contacts in the pin arrangement. This makes it possible to transfer up to 100 mbit/s data while 2 x 6 A power are available.

Y-coded M12 cordsets make installtions easier which helps you reduce costs. Y-coded M12 connectors combined with PUR cables suitable for C-tracks are great for moving applications.

  • Data transfer according to Cat. 5e (ISO/IEC 11801, Class D)
  • Power transfer up to 2 x 6 A
  • 360° shielded
  • Soldered shield connection between cable and connector
  • Suitable for applications in industrial environments up to IP65/67
