Turck M12 X-Code connector

With the ability to transfer up to 10 Gbps of data, Turck’s M12 X-Code connector is designed to increase throughput and efficiency in high-end systems and applications. The M12 X-Code connector offers improved signal strength for high-speed Ethernet data transfers, compared to traditional M12 connectors that support up to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. The ability to handle high bandwidth files and minimise transfer time reduces data bottlenecks and improves performance.

To achieve 10 Gbps Ethernet transmission speed, the M12 X-Code connector features an advanced shielding design paired with Category 7 copper cable. Each of the four data pairs are shielded from each other within the connector, providing increased isolation against crosstalk or unwanted signal coupling from one balanced twisted pair to another.

Featuring a robust, compact design, the IP67-rated M12 X-Code connector operates in temperatures ranging from -20 to 70°C. The overmoulded construction eliminates time-consuming hand-wiring and misconfigurations, and they are suitable for any industrial Ethernet applications requiring high speed and greater bandwidth.
