Overview
The 8-pin M12 X-code design can handle 10 Gbit/s Ethernet transmission speeds in the Industrial environment. Category 6A cables
usually consist of standardized twisted pair cables for Ethernet and other network layers. These can handle data rates up to 10 Gbit/s.
In order to withstand these high speeds and data output, Cat6A cables have significant shielding and cable twist requirements.
The M12 X-code connector is specially developed for these requirements, whereby the channel pairs are separated and the degree of shielding
in the connector itself has been increased. The M12 X-coded cordsets have an IP67 rating for dust-tight and waterproof applications ensure efficient,
high-quality and reliable connectivity and high integrity signal transmission.
BEHPEX M12 overmolded X-code cordsets series contain male straight and right angle versions that transmit data rates up to 10 Gbit/s .
Our Cat6A cable jackets is PUR which offer a unique solution toward satisfying the stringent needs of motion systems supporting
both flexing and stationary industrial high speed Ethernet requirements.
BEHPEX’s portfolio is further complemented with overmolded M12 X-code to RJ45 cable assemblies which are key components
to an overall Industrial Ethernet application and designed for connection within control cabinets, machinery and outdoor applications.
This further simplifies the concurrent use of both connector types (M12 & RJ45) within a single system.
