M12 D-Coding 4‑Pin to RJ‑45 Networking Cable, PLANET CB‑M12D4MRJ‑1000, 10 m

Shielded networking cable with a 4-pin D-coding M12 male connector on one end and a standard RJ-45 connector on the other. The PLANET CB-M12D4MRJ-1000 is a 10 m cable designed for industrial Ethernet and fieldbus connections where compact D-coded M12 interfaces are required. It supports direct connection between devices with M12 D-coding ports and equipment using RJ-45 ports, making it suitable for linking sensors, actuators, switches and controllers in factory automation and control cabinets.

Advantages

The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference in industrial environments, and the D-coding of the 4-pin M12 connector ensures a reliable mating orientation for data signals. The combination of an M12 male connector and RJ-45 plug provides compatibility between compact industrial devices and standard Ethernet equipment without additional adapters. A 10 m length offers flexibility for routing in cabinets and along machine frames while maintaining a single-cable connection for data.

Suitable for

• Connecting sensors and actuators to controllers in factory automation
• Linking industrial switches or IO modules to standard Ethernet devices
• Fieldbus and industrial Ethernet runs where M12 D-coding ports are used
• Cabling between machines, control cabinets, and nearby network equipment

Key specifications

• Connector A: 4-pin M12, D-coding, male
• Connector B: RJ-45 plug
• Shielding: shielded cable construction to reduce EMI
• Length: 10 meters
• Intended use: industrial Ethernet and fieldbus connectivity

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage before installation. Plug the 4-pin D-coded M12 male connector into the corresponding female M12 port on the industrial device, ensuring correct alignment of the D-coding. Insert the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 jack of the switch, controller or other Ethernet equipment until it clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of mechanical stress; secure as needed within control cabinets or along cable trays. After connection, verify network link and data transmission using the device indicators or relevant diagnostics.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within typical industrial temperature and installation conditions, avoid excessive pulling force and repeated flexing near the connectors, and keep cable routing separate from high-voltage lines to preserve signal integrity.
