LogiLink CQM075S Industrial CAT6A Patch Cable M12 to RJ45 5m

The LogiLink CQM075S is a high-performance industrial-grade patch cable engineered for reliable data transmission in demanding environments. Measuring 5 meters in length, this cable features an M12 X-coded connector on one end and a standard RJ45 connector on the other, providing a robust bridge between industrial automation equipment and standard network infrastructure.

Advantages

This cable is built to withstand extreme conditions, offering exceptional durability through its shielded S/FTP construction and flexible PUR jacket. It is specifically designed to handle mechanical stress, including use in drag chains, while maintaining signal integrity. The cable is highly resistant to oil, UV radiation, acids, and hydrolysis, ensuring a long service life even in harsh industrial settings. Furthermore, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards, allowing for both data and power delivery over a single connection, and features flame-retardant and halogen-free properties for enhanced safety.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial automation machinery
• Network integration in production facilities
• Applications requiring drag chain compatibility
• Environments with high mechanical or chemical stress
• PoE-enabled industrial devices

This cable may not be suitable for standard office or home networking environments where the specialized M12 connector is not required. Additionally, it is not intended for applications requiring extreme flexibility beyond the specified drag chain ratings or for use in environments where the cable might be subjected to constant sharp bending or crushing forces.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Connector types: M12 X-coded (straight) to RJ45 (straight)
• Category: Cat.6A Class EA
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Data rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Operating temperature: -40 to +90 °C
• PoE support: IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3bt
• Material properties: Oil, UV, acid, and hydrolysis resistant; halogen-free; flame retardant

To use the cable, simply insert the M12 connector into the corresponding X-coded port on your industrial device and secure it by tightening the locking mechanism. Connect the RJ45 end to your network switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure that the cable is routed away from sharp edges and that the bend radius is respected to maintain the longevity of the internal wiring.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your industrial equipment utilizes an M12 X-coded interface.
• Ensure the 5-meter length is sufficient for your installation path.
• Confirm that your network hardware supports Cat.6A performance standards.
• Check if your power requirements align with the supported PoE standards.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance in drag chain applications, ensure the cable is installed with sufficient slack to prevent tension during movement. Regularly inspect the connector seals and cable jacket if the unit is exposed to aggressive chemicals or extreme temperatures to ensure continued protection.
