Xmost M12 Y-coded male panel-mount CAT5e connector provides a shielded hybrid cable connection through an equipment panel. Its single-ended molded construction integrates the male interface, rear molded body and cable into a preassembled assembly.
This M12 hybrid Ethernet connector combines four signal contacts with either two or four power contacts. The catalog identifies CAT5e, 100 Mbps Ethernet applications and lists separate current ratings for the power and signal contacts.
The male interface mates with a matching Y-coded female connector using M12 × 1.0 screw locking. PG9 and M16 × 1.5 mounting options are listed, with PVC or PUR cable in 1 m, 3 m and 5 m lengths.

Applications
Suggested applications for this M12 Y-coded male panel-mount connector include:
- Industrial equipment panels: Connections to compatible Y-coded female cable interfaces.
- Hybrid power and communication interfaces: Equipment requiring power and signal contacts within one connector.
- Automation modules: Connections using the specified Y-coded pin arrangement.
- Industrial enclosures: Panel-mounted interfaces between internal wiring and external equipment cables.
Match the contact configuration and electrical ratings to the equipment. Ethernet performance depends on the complete network link and connected devices.
