DELOCK M12 A-coded 17-pin Socket to HDMI Plug 5 m Black Cable

The Delock M12 A-coded cable provides a 17-pin female M12 connector on one end and a standard HDMI male connector on the other, with a length of 5 m in black. It is intended for industrial and AV installations where a robust wired transmission of HDMI video and audio signals is required, for example to connect industrial PCs, industrial cameras or displays to HDMI capture or display devices.

Advantages

This cable combines an M12 A-coded industrial connector with a standard HDMI plug, offering a secure mechanical connection and compatibility with equipment that uses M12 interfaces. The 5 m length allows flexible placement of devices while maintaining a single-cable solution for digital video and audio transmission. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for machine and rack environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial PCs or embedded systems with M12 A-coded output to HDMI displays
• Linking industrial cameras or image processing systems to HDMI capture devices
• AV installations in machinery, mobile platforms, or factory floors requiring durable HDMI connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not appropriate when both ends of the connection require standard HDMI connectors or other connector types without M12 interfaces. It also may not be suitable for applications that demand very long cable runs beyond 5 m without additional signal amplification or repeaters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector 1: 17-pin female M12 (A-coded)
• Connector 2: HDMI male
• Color: black
• Application: transmission of digital video and audio signals in industrial/AV environments

How to use

Plug the 17-pin female M12 connector into the corresponding A-coded M12 port on the source device and attach the HDMI male plug to the HDMI input of the display or capture device. Ensure connectors are correctly aligned before fastening the M12 coupling to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; in industrial settings, use appropriate strain relief and cable management to protect the connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the source device has an A-coded 17-pin M12 output compatible with this cable.
• Confirm that a standard HDMI input is available on the target display or capture device.
• Assess whether 5 m length is sufficient for device placement or whether signal repeaters are needed for longer runs.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in industrial environments, fasten the M12 coupling securely, avoid excessive bending radii, and install the cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimise electromagnetic interference.
