Xmost M12 Y-coded female straight CAT5e connector provides a shielded hybrid cable connection to equipment with a matching Y-coded male interface. Its single-ended molded construction integrates the female connector and cable into a preassembled assembly.
This M12 Y-coded hybrid connector combines four signal contacts with either two or four power contacts. The catalog identifies the product for CAT5e, 100 Mbps Ethernet applications and lists separate current ratings for the power and signal circuits.
The straight cable exit directs the cable along the mating axis. M12 × 1.0 screw locking secures the mating connection. PVC and PUR cable options are listed in 1 m, 3 m, 5 m and 10 m lengths.

Applications
Suggested applications for this M12 Y-coded female straight Ethernet connector include:
- Hybrid equipment interfaces: Connections requiring power and signal contacts within one connector.
- Industrial Ethernet equipment: Network connections to compatible Y-coded male interfaces.
- Automation modules: Combined power and communication wiring for devices with matching contact arrangements.
- Axial cable-routing layouts: Installations with clearance for a straight cable exit.
Match the power-contact configuration, electrical ratings and signal assignment to the equipment. Ethernet performance depends on the complete network link and connected devices.
Selection and Ordering
Specify the 4 signal + 2 power or 4 signal + 4 power configuration, cable jacket and cable length. Select the corresponding straight female part number from the catalog ordering table.
Check the mating connector’s Y-coding and contact arrangement. Follow the female connector’s front-view pin diagram and wire-color assignment, keeping power and signal circuits correctly assigned and maintaining the specified shield connection.
