This ix Industrial CAT6A cable assembly provides a space-saving, high-performance alternative to traditional RJ45 connections. Featuring an ix Industrial A Key male connector to an M12 X-Code female straight connector, this assembly delivers full 10G Ethernet performance in demanding industrial environments.
Designed for motion systems and automation, the PUR jacket and drag chain capability ensure durability under continuous flex, vibration, and torsion. The ix interface offers up to 75% space savings compared to RJ45, making it ideal for compact control cabinets, machine vision systems, robotics, and industrial networking.
The active metal snap-in locking mechanism provides secure mating with clear tactile feedback and supports high shock and vibration resistance. The M12 X-Code interface ensures reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission with IP67 protection on the M12 side.
