Overmolded male M12 double-ended cordsets and male M12 to male RJ45 CAT6A cordsets are currently available. All cordsets are available in standard 2, 5 and 10 meter lengths. A field-attachable connector is offered with IDC (insulation displacement connection) termination for easy assembly to a custom cable. Cable diameters can range from 5.5 to 9 mm and accept wires between 27 and 22 AWG.
When fully mated the X-coded connectors hold an IP67 rating while the RJ45 connection holds an IP20 rating. Various female panel-mount connectors are available for a complete connecting solution.
