Single Pair Ethernet Cords
These cords contain a single pair of twisted wires, making them lighter and more flexible than other Ethernet cords. They’re good for transportation, robotics, and automation applications. Cords have a metal locking tab to create a more secure connection than cords with RJ45 connectors, and are easier to install than coaxial cords and cords with M12 connectors. They transmit power as well as data, making them useful in places without an easily accessible power supply. These cords are shielded to block out signal interference from nearby devices.
Cords meet IEEE standards for data transmission speeds and protocols and EN 60811-404 for resistance to mineral oil. They’re compliant with IEC 60332-1-2 for flame retardancy and IEC 63171-6 for single pair Ethernet cord dimensions and compatibility.

Duct-Rated Ethernet Cords
Also known as plenum-rated cords, these CMP ethernet cords have flame-resistant, low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in ductwork and above a drop ceiling. The RJ45 plugs on each end connect to Ethernet equipment, such as computers, IO modules, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Not only do these cords transmit data, but they also power devices that are Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible. They’re often used with EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCAT systems.
