Ethernet Cords with M8 Connectors
Unlike the RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords, the threaded M8 ends on these cords keep contaminants out and resist coming loose from vibration. They are often used with sensors, switches, I/O modules, and computers. Braided shielding protects against signal interference. Insulated with polyurethane, these cords bend easily, so they are ideal for applications that require continuous flexibility such as robotics. They also resist oil. When mated, they are IP67 rated for protection from dust and temporary submersion.
A-coded cords work with EtherCAT connections that have the same pole configuration.
D-coded cords are Power over Ethernet (POE) enabled to carry data and power within one cord.

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.
