DeLOCK M12 Cable X-coded 8-pin Plug to Plug Cat5e 5 m Black Network Cable

This industrial Ethernet cable by Delock connects devices with M12 connectors for machine control, automation and other networking tasks. It is an X-coded, 8‑pin Cat5e cable with S/FTP shielding and a 5 m black PVC jacket for flexible, durable installation.

Advantages

The X-coded 8‑pin design supports standard Ethernet signaling while the S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference in industrial environments. The Cat5e specification ensures reliable data transmission over the 5 m length, and the black PVC jacket provides mechanical protection and bending flexibility for installation in control cabinets or along machine lines.

Suitable for

• Connecting sensors, actuators and controllers with M12 ports
• Machine control and industrial automation networks
• Wiring inside control cabinets and distributed I/O systems

Key specifications

• Cable type: M12 X‑coded, 8 pin
• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair)
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Align each M12 male connector with the corresponding M12 female port and screw the connector coupling until hand‑tight to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of excessive heat; keep the cable secured with clips or ties as needed. Verify connectivity using network diagnostics after installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high‑voltage power lines and maintain bend radii recommended for M12 assemblies. Inspect connectors regularly for corrosion or wear in harsh environments.
