Xmost M12 D-coded female straight CAT5e connector provides a shielded cable connection for compatible PROFINET and industrial Ethernet equipment. The single-ended molded assembly combines a 4-pin female connector with a preassembled cable.
Its straight cable exit directs the cable along the mating axis, making it suitable for equipment layouts with clearance behind the connection. M12 × 1.0 screw locking secures the interface to a matching D-coded male connector. The catalog lists PVC and PUR cable options in 1 m and 3 m lengths.
