22 May 2014
Metz Connect has developed an M12 jack for field assembly for future-proof and high performance 10 Gigabit-Ethernet cabling in communications cabling and for automation control units.
The jack is offered in two variants as X-coded version: with or without flange. The flange variant is suitable for installation in equipment, machines or plants and the variant without flange is used for free line connections.
In accordance with Cat.6A, these M12 jacks are suited for data transmission up to 10 Gigabits. Due to complete metal shielding with a robust zinc die-cast housing, the M12 jacks for field assembly can also be used for difficult transmission conditions without problems. In plugged state, the M12 jacks offer protection class IP67, unplugged jacks can be protected with a dust cap as option.
