Industrial networking accessory Metz 142M1D19020, cable length 2 m

Metz 142M1D19020, cable length 2 m, is an industrial networking accessory engineered for secure and standardized Ethernet connectivity in automation environments. The assembly provides a shielded M12 D‑coded Cat.5e connection line that links field devices and network equipment where a fixed-length cable with robust mechanical and electrical characteristics is required. Its green PUR jacket and angled/straight M12 connector combination support common cabinet-to-device and on-machine routing scenarios.

Advantages

The cable offers a shielded design with an overall tinned copper braid for noise reduction and increased signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial settings. The Cat.5e, 4‑pole D‑coding complies with IEC 61076‑2‑101 to ensure compatibility with M12 Ethernet ports and Profinet wiring schemes. Extrusion coating on the M12 connector ends and FRNC inner sheath improve mechanical protection and reduce the risk of moisture ingress and abrasion. The green PUR jacket provides oil- and abrasion-resistant outer protection suitable for industrial use.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial Ethernet devices using M12 D‑coded ports
• Profinet installations and fieldbus segments requiring Cat.5e performance
• Machine-to-cabinet and sensor/actuator wiring where a fixed 2 m link is needed
• Environments with mechanical movement or exposure to oils where PUR jackets are preferred

Key specifications

• Connection type: shielded M12, D‑coded, 4‑pole
• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Conductor construction: 2x2xAWG22/7, tinned
• Inner sheath: FRNC with aluminum‑coated plastic foil
• Overall shield: tinned copper braid, approx. 85% coverage
• Connector orientation: one angled M12 connector, one straight M12 connector
• Cable jacket material: green PUR (polyurethane)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Wiring: Profinet compatible (WS‑GE‑BL‑OR)

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the D‑coded M12 connectors with the corresponding M12 Ethernet ports and tighten the connector nuts to the manufacturer‑specified torque to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and pinch points; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for AWG22 construction and PUR jackets. For best signal performance, ensure proper grounding and continuity of the overall shield at both ends when integrating into an industrial cabinet or field device setup.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable in environments that require reliable Cat.5e performance and mechanical resilience. Where prolonged exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, or continuous flexing is expected, verify compatibility with PUR jacket properties and follow installation guidelines for strain relief and connector sealing to maintain signal integrity and service life.
