LogiLink CQM035S Cat6a S/FTP Networking Cable, RJ-45 to M12, 1 m, Green

The LogiLink CQM035S is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP networking cable specifically engineered for demanding industrial environments. Featuring a robust RJ-45 to M12 connector configuration, this 1-meter cable facilitates reliable data transfer rates of up to 10000 Mbit/s. Its specialized construction ensures stable connectivity even under significant mechanical stress, making it an essential component for professional network infrastructures that require high-speed, secure data transmission.

Advantages

This networking cable offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality PUR jacket, which provides superior resistance against oil, UV radiation, acids, and hydrolysis. The S/FTP shielding effectively protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity in noisy industrial settings. Furthermore, the cable is designed to be halogen-free and flame-retardant, meeting strict safety standards. Its compatibility with drag chains and wide operating temperature range make it a versatile solution for complex automation systems and machinery.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and robotics
• Connecting M12-equipped sensors and actuators to Ethernet switches
• Harsh environments with high mechanical stress
• Systems requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) support
• Professional network installations in manufacturing facilities

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specifically designed for industrial applications and may be overkill for standard home or office networking environments where standard RJ-45 patch cables are sufficient. Due to its specialized M12 connector, it is not compatible with standard consumer-grade networking equipment that lacks M12 ports.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to M12 (X-coded)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Operating temperature: -40 to +90 °C
• Supports PoE: IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3bt
• Material properties: Oil, UV, acid, and hydrolysis resistant; halogen-free

How to use

To use the cable, insert the M12 connector into the corresponding X-coded port on your industrial device and tighten the locking mechanism to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Connect the RJ-45 end to your standard Ethernet switch or network interface. Ensure that the cable is routed away from sharp edges or excessive heat sources, even though it is designed for durability, to maintain its long-term performance and integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your industrial equipment utilizes M12 X-coded connectors.
• Ensure the 1-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation layout.
• Confirm that your network infrastructure supports Cat6a performance standards.
• Check if your devices require Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in industrial settings, ensure that the M12 connector is fully tightened to maintain its ingress protection rating. Regularly inspect the cable for signs of physical damage if it is installed in a moving drag chain application.
