M12 X-Coded 8-Pin Male to RJ45 Male Industrial Ethernet Cable – Shielded, 1m
High-Speed Industrial Ethernet Connectivity for Automation and Network Equipment
Connect industrial Ethernet equipment with an 8-pin M12 X-coded interface to standard RJ45 Ethernet ports using this 1-meter shielded industrial Ethernet cable.
Designed for demanding industrial networking environments, this cable features a threaded M12 X-coded male connector on one end and a shielded RJ45 male plug on the other. Its eight-contact M12 interface is suitable for compatible high-speed Ethernet applications, including industrial controllers, machine vision systems, industrial cameras, Ethernet switches, and automation equipment.
The supplier specifies Cat7 cable construction and 10Gbps capability. Actual communication speed depends on the complete cable assembly, connected equipment, installation conditions, and network configuration.

Connector Compatibility
Connector A — M12 X-Coded Male
Eight-pin industrial Ethernet connector with threaded coupling for compatible M12 X-coded female receptacles.
Connector B — RJ45 Male
Shielded Ethernet plug for compatible RJ45 network ports.
M12 X-coded connectors are mechanically different from M12 A-coded and D-coded connectors and are not interchangeable.
Verify connector coding, pin assignments, equipment compatibility, and network requirements before ordering.
Environmental Protection
The M12 connector is specified for IP67 protection when properly mated to a compatible, appropriately rated receptacle.
The standard RJ45 plug is not waterproof by itself. The IP67 rating does not apply to an exposed RJ45 connection or the entire cable assembly in every installation.
Important Performance Information
The supplier advertises Cat7 shielding and up to 10Gbps Ethernet performance.
Actual transmission speed and reliability depend on the cable assembly's verified performance, connected devices, installation environment, and network configuration.
This cable should not be represented as certified to a particular Ethernet performance standard unless supporting test documentation is available.
Although the supplier describes the jacket as flexible, continuous-motion, robotic drag-chain, and high-flex cycle ratings have not been independently verified.
Package Includes: One 1-meter M12 X-coded 8-pin male to RJ45 male shielded industrial Ethernet cable.
