About Industry Designation for Cable Insulation

Plug × Socket

4 Pole

Often used in automation systems such as conveyors and sorters, these cords have plug and socket ends, so they quickly connect and disconnect for maintenance and do not need to be hardwired. Because these cords carry higher currents than micro and mini cords, they can power equipment such as motors, fans, pumps, and automated machine tools. They are shielded to block out interference from nearby equipment. These cords meet UL 2237 and UL 2238, so they can be used in motor branch circuits of industrial machinery. They also meet TC-ER crush and impact requirements for exposed runs in cable carriers. IP rated, they protect against dust, washdowns, and temporary submersion.

Connect these cords to control cabinets and equipment with M29 power receptacles (sold separately).

USB Cords

Connect devices such as computers, printers, and mobile devices. The higher the USB standard, the faster cords can transmit data. These cords are backward compatible, so they work with cords and connectors that meet the same or lower USB standard.

Data cords move data between devices.

Double-shielded cords block signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Continuous-Flex USB Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. Shielding blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. All are backward compatible, so they work with cords and connectors that meet the same or lower USB standard.

Ethernet Cords with M12 Connectors

The M12 threaded connectors on these cords are more vibration resistant than RJ45 connectors. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher industry designation category. All are backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category.

Shielded cords block signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Use A-coded and D-coded cords to carry data at speeds up to 100MHz.

X-coded cords carry data at speeds up to 500MHz.

Ethernet Cords with M8 and RJ45 Connectors

With an M8 plug that’s smaller than an M12 plug on one end and an RJ45 plug on the other, these cords can send data between sensors, I/O boxes, switches, and computers in tight spaces. The M8 plug is also IP67 rated, so it stands up to dust and brief submersion. All of these cords have braid and foil shielding to block signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Screw-Together Wet-Location RJ45 Connectors and Cords

Use these connectors and cords to make Ethernet connections.

IP67 rated connectors and cords are protected against dust and temporary submersion when mated.

For connectors and cords that are rated both IP67 and IP20, the screw-together plug is rated IP67, and the other plug is rated IP20 for protection against objects larger than 12.5 mm, such as fingers, when mated.
