Lumberg Automation D-coded M12 Ethernet connectors provide rugged data connections for industrial automation equipment where conventional office-style Ethernet connections may not be practical. Use the chart below to select straight or right-angle M12 cordsets, M12-to-RJ45 cables, shielded Ethernet cables, field-wireable connectors and M12/RJ45 adapters for IO-Link masters and other networked machine components. 4-Pole D-Coded M12 LAN/Ethernet Connection OptionsSelect a part-number family to view available configurations and cable lengths. Molded cordsets are grouped by connector orientation, shielding and whether the opposite end uses an M12 or RJ45 connection.
🔎 Understanding the Ethernet Cordset Families
0985 806 part-number families identify high-flex, unshielded industrial Ethernet cordsets, while 0985 YM57530 families provide shielded Ethernet cable construction. For molded cordsets, /*M represents the selected cable length. For example, a configuration ending in /1M, /5M or /10M identifies a 1-, 5- or 10-meter cable. Available lengths vary by cordset family. How to Choose a D-Coded M12 Ethernet Cable
M12 to M12
Use an M12-to-M12 cordset when both devices use rugged D-coded M12 Ethernet ports. Select straight or right-angle ends based on cable routing and available clearance.
M12 to RJ45
Choose an M12-to-RJ45 cordset when connecting a machine-mounted M12 Ethernet device to a switch, controller or other equipment with an RJ45 port.
Shielded Cable
Select a YM57530 shielded cordset when the network design calls for cable shielding or the Ethernet cable must operate in an electrically demanding machine environment.
Field-Wireable
Use a field-wireable connector when cable must be cut, routed and terminated to the required length during machine installation or maintenance.
Where Are D-Coded M12 Ethernet Connections Used?D-coded M12 Ethernet cordsets are designed for industrial equipment that needs a secure machine-level network connection. Typical uses include linking IO-Link masters to industrial Ethernet networks, connecting distributed I/O modules, networking machine-mounted controllers and sensors, and transitioning from rugged M12 connections in the production area to RJ45 connections inside control cabinets. Right-angle connectors can reduce cable bend and improve routing in tight spaces, while field-wireable versions are useful when a preassembled cable length is not practical.
🛡️ When Should You Consider a Shielded Ethernet Cordset?
Shielding may be appropriate when Ethernet cabling is routed near motors, variable frequency drives, switching equipment or other potential sources of electrical noise. The complete grounding and shielding design of the machine should be considered when choosing between the standard 0985 806 and shielded 0985 YM57530 cable families.
⚙️ Installation Tip
Match the connector gender and orientation to both devices before selecting the cable length. Straight M12 connectors work well where sufficient clearance is available behind the port, while right-angle connectors can simplify installation on compact IO-Link masters, distribution blocks and machine-mounted network devices. |
