M12 D-Code 4-Pin Industrial Ethernet Cable Assembly for Profinet & EtherCAT
Industrial Ethernet cable assembly for PLC, fieldbus, Profinet, EtherCAT, and automation communication wiring — with configurable termination and color-coded jackets.
Typical Applications
- Profinet / EtherCAT network drops to I/O modules and remote stations
- Industrial switch uplinks in control cabinets
- Fieldbus replacement projects migrating from legacy connectors
- Green-field automation panel builds requiring color-coded network identification

Series |
M12 D-Code 4-Pin = M12D |
| 2 |
Orientation |
Straight = ST / Right-Angle = RA |
| 3 |
Cable Color/Material |
Profinet Green PUR = GN-PUR / Black PVC = BK-PVC |

FAQ
- Q: Is D-Code compatible with my existing Profinet network? A: Yes — D-Code 4-pin follows the standard Profinet/EtherCAT pinout used by major PLC vendors. Confirm your device's connector marking before ordering.
- Q: Can I get stripped ends with ferrules? A: Select
STF termination — we ship with wires stripped, ferrule-crimped, and ready for your terminal block or cabinet entry.
- Q: What's the difference between green PUR and black PVC? A: Green PUR is the conventional Profinet color for easy identification and offers higher oil/flex resistance. Black PVC is cost-effective for indoor cabinet use.
