M12 X-Code 8-Pin High-Speed Industrial Ethernet Cable & Connectivity Series
High-speed industrial Ethernet cable assemblies for machine vision, high-speed camera networks, and harsh-environment data transmission — configurable from M12-to-RJ45 to fully custom harness builds.
Typical Applications
- Machine vision systems (GigE Vision cameras, industrial CMOS sensors)
- Industrial Ethernet backbone (high-speed industrial Ethernet infrastructure)
- Robotic cell data links between vision and motion controllers
- Drag-chain rated cable runs in CNC and packaging machinery
- Field-replaceable network drops in food & beverage plants

| 1 |
Series |
M12 X-Code 8-Pin = M12X |
| 2 |
Connection Type |
M12 to RJ45 = RJ / M12 to M12 = MM / M12 to Open End = OE |

High-Flex PUR = PUR / Standard PVC = PVC |
| 4 |
Shielding |
Double Shielded (SF/UTP) = SF / Standard Shielded = S |
| 5 |
Length |
1m = 1M / 5m = 5M / Custom = XXM (e.g. 2M) |
Example configured code: M12X-RJ-PUR-SF-2M
Note: bandwidth and flex-cycle ratings are confirmed per SKU before quotation. Specify your requirement in the RFQ.

- Drawing upload (for custom pinout)
FAQ
- Q: What is the difference between M12 X-Code and RJ45? A: M12 X-Code uses an industrial circular 8-pin connector rated IP67 when mated — suitable for harsh factory floors. RJ45 is standard office Ethernet (typically not sealed). Our assemblies bridge both worlds.
- Q: Can you do CAT6A with M12 X-Code? A: Yes — we configure shielded PUR cable for high-speed Ethernet capable runs. Exact bandwidth depends on your selected length and termination.
- Q: Is this suitable for drag chains? A: Select the
PUR-SF (high-flex double-shielded) option and specify your bend radius in the RFQ. We recommend confirming cycle count for your application.
