Weidmuller M12-X Cat 6A ethernet connector

Weidmuller’s M12-X Cat 6A connector supports data transmission volumes up to 10 Gbps and meets the requirements of the latest Profinet Installation Guidelines for Cabling and Assembly as well as the demands of Category 6A.

Purpose built to withstand high vibration, the M12-X type connector is suitable for use in the mining, rail, road and transportation industries. Rated to protection class IP65 and IP67, it is resistant to soiling and moisture. The unit features a full 360° metal shield connection point to ensure it is suitably robust for use in harsh industrial environments.

Created to deliver a long life and error-free connectivity, the connector’s pins are made from CuZn with a gold-plated contact surface. This assists the M12-X type connector in effectively withstanding up to 100 mating cycles.

The M12-X type connector is also designed for quick and easy field assembly, and does not require any special tools for installation. Plus, it can be operated in a broad temperature range, from -25 to +85°C.

The connector is available as a standalone unit or with a moulded CAT7 cable in various lengths. The moulded cable ensures higher resilience, sturdiness and strength.
