Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. The shielding blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher ethernet cable category. They’re backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category. All stand up to some abrasion.

Polyurethane Rubber Cord Insulation—Cords with polyurethane rubber insulation resist abrasion better and bend further than cords with PVC insulation. You can use them indoors or outdoors, though you shouldn’t use them in harsh settings. They’re halogen free.

Ethernet Cords with M12 and RJ45 Connectors

To send high-speed data in tough, rugged environments, these cords have an M12 connector on one end that threads onto switches, sensors, and other devices prone to vibration. The other end has a traditional RJ45 plug that connects to Ethernet equipment, such as computers, IO modules, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). These cords can also power devices as they send data, so you don’t need a separate power cord. But, the device must be Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible. They’re often used with EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCAT systems. With TPE insulation, they stand up to bending in robotics applications. It also means they resist abrasion and won’t pit or crack from chemicals, sunlight, and welding runoff.

Thanks to its threads and IP rating, the M12 end is water and dust tight when mated. Poles and keyways on its face adhere to standard coding layouts, which reduces the chance of mismatching connections.

When choosing an Ethernet cord, make sure you match or exceed your network’s ethernet cable category. These cords are backward compatible—for example, a Category 6 cord will work in a Category 5 network, but it’ll only run at the Category 5 speed.

X Code—A- and X-coded cords send data faster than D-coded cords, so they’re best for systems that run multi-step programs, such as robotics.

Double Shielded—Double-shielded cords have layers of braid and foil that block signal interference from nearby devices, maintaining their speed and data integrity.

Ethernet Cords with M12 Connectors

The M12 threaded ends on these cords seal out contaminants and resist coming loose from vibration better than the RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords. Use them in tough, rugged environments to send high-speed data between sensors, switches, servers, computers, and PLCs not protected by control panels. These cords can power devices as they send data, as long as devices are Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible. They are often used within Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCat systems. Their poles and keyways adhere to standard coding layouts, reducing the chance you’ll mismatch connections.

All cords are backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or lower ethernet cable category. For example, a Category 6 cord will work in a Category 5 network, but it will only run at the Category 5 speed.

With either TPE or polyurethane rubber insulation, all cords stand up to harsh factory conditions, chemicals, and UV rays. All are also highly flexible, so they’re good for jobs with continuous motion, such as robotics.

When mated, all cords are IP67 rated to protect against dust and temporary submersion.

Polyurethane Rubber Cord Insulation—Oil-resistant polyurethane-rubber-insulated cords are free of halogen, so they’re safer than most plastic as they won’t release toxic fumes or corrode metal.

Ethernet Cords with Adjustable-Angle Connectors

The plugs on these cords pivot up to 90° in each direction to fit Ethernet jacks at awkward angles or in tight spots, such as behind equipment or in enclosures. Simply slide back the bend protection and turn the plugs to adjust their angle. Use these cords to send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. All have braid and foil shielding to block signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. They come in a variety of colors to organize connections by application or the machines they are used on.

M12 Connectors

These connectors run the automated world, from robot arms and photoelectric sensors to PLCs, IO-Link devices, and Ethernet switches. The original metric circular connector, they continue to be the standard today. They screw together tightly to protect against contaminants and hold firm against high vibration. Each one has a coding that indicates a unique keyway, preventing mismated connection errors before they happen. The coding also tells you whether a connector can send power, control, or data. Some can send a combination of the three, reducing the need for multiple connectors.

Plugs

Shielded

Shielded—Shielding blocks electrical noise from motors, drives, and other equipment, preventing erratic readings, false triggers, and data errors that cause downtime. Use these connectors near high-interference sources or anywhere with shielded cable, such as fieldbus networks, sensors, and encoders.

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cable

Often used in automated applications that require continuous motion such as robotics, this cable sends data between computers, servers, and switches without degrading data transmission. This Ethernet cable is backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category. It is double shielded, which means it has a layer of braid and foil shielding for better protection against signal interference than braid alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors. Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.

UL 2556 FT2—FT2 cable is suspended horizontally during testing.

Flammability Rating—Flame rated cable meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test.

Ethernet Cable

Double Shielded

Send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. Ethernet category standards describe the cable’s performance capabilities. Higher category numbers mean faster speeds, superior data transfer, and better signal strength. Category cables are backward compatible, so you can mix and match, but your speed will only be as fast as the lowest-rated cable.

Double Shielded—Double-shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding for the best protection against signal interference. Use it in areas with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors.
