Industrial networking accessory MetzConnect 142M2X11010 — cable length 1 m

MetzConnect 142M2X11010 — cable length 1 m is an industrial networking accessory intended for integration into factory and commercial network installations. The product is a shielded M12 Ethernet connection line with Cat.6A X-coded 8-pole wiring designed to provide high-speed data transmission in harsh environments. Supplied with a 1 m green PUR cable and straight M12 connectors on both ends, this component is suitable for linking devices in structured cabling, equipment racks, or machine-level networks where a compact, rugged connection is required.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat.6A performance with an X-coded 8-pole M12 interface, supporting high-frequency transmission and improved resistance to electromagnetic interference thanks to an overall tinned copper braid shield. Stranded 4x2xAWG26/7 pairs with PiMF (pair in metal foil) improve flexibility and signal integrity in movement-prone installations. The extrusion-coated connectors increase mechanical protection at the termination points, while the 1:1 pin assignment ensures straightforward compatibility with standard industrial Ethernet equipment.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet links between machines and control systems
• Connection in equipment racks and distribution panels
• Replacement or maintenance of existing M12 X-coded Cat.6A cabling
• Applications requiring shielded, flexible cables in harsh or EMI-prone environments

• Connector protection: extrusion-coated terminations

How to use

Install the MetzConnect 142M2X11010 by inserting each straight X-coded M12 connector into the corresponding M12 X-coded socket on your devices, ensuring the 1:1 pin assignment aligns with the equipment ports. Tighten connector threads to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to maintain mechanical stability and optimal shielding contact. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical abrasion; use appropriate strain relief or cable clamps where required to prevent stress at termination points.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, verify that connected devices support M12 X-coded Cat.6A interfaces and that installation follows industrial grounding and shielding practices. Avoid routing the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended runs to minimize EMI. Inspect connectors periodically for contamination or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or terminations show wear that could compromise shielding or signal quality.
