LogiLink CQM105S Industrial CAT6A Patch Cable M12 to RJ45 15m

The LogiLink CQM105S is a high-performance industrial-grade CAT6A patch cable engineered for reliable data transmission in challenging environments. Measuring 15 meters in length, this cable features a robust M12 X-coded connector on one end and a standard RJ45 connector on the other, providing a seamless bridge between industrial machinery and standard networking equipment. Its construction is specifically designed to withstand the rigors of industrial automation, ensuring stable connectivity where standard office cables would fail.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality shielded PUR jacket, which provides superior resistance against oil, UV radiation, acids, and hydrolysis. The cable is fully compatible with drag chain applications, making it an ideal choice for moving parts in automated systems. With its X-coding, it supports high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbit/s and is fully compliant with Power over Ethernet standards, allowing for both data and power delivery through a single connection. Furthermore, its halogen-free and flame-retardant properties enhance safety in enclosed industrial spaces.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and robotics
• Connecting machinery to Ethernet networks
• Drag chain applications in manufacturing
• Harsh environments requiring oil and UV resistance
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled devices

This cable may not be suitable for standard office or home environments where the heavy-duty shielding and specialized M12 industrial connector are unnecessary. Its rigid construction and industrial-grade materials make it less flexible and more expensive than standard consumer-grade patch cables, which are typically sufficient for non-industrial settings.

Key specifications

• Length: 15 meters
• Connector types: M12 X-coded (straight) to RJ45 (straight)
• Cable standard: CAT6A 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
• Weight: 0.605 kg

To use the cable, simply connect the M12 end to your industrial device by aligning the X-coding and tightening the connector securely to ensure a vibration-proof seal. Connect the RJ45 end to your network switch, router, or patch panel as you would with a standard Ethernet cable. Ensure that the cable is routed away from sharp edges or excessive tension points, even though it is designed for drag chain use, to maximize its service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your industrial equipment uses an M12 X-coded interface.
• Ensure the 15-meter length is sufficient for your installation path.
• Check if your network hardware supports CAT6A speeds for optimal performance.
• Confirm that the operating environment falls within the -40 to +90 °C range.

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure that the M12 connector is fully tightened to maintain its ingress protection rating and prevent moisture or dust from entering the connection point.
