Ethernet cable Zebra CBL-ENT00500-M1200 5 m X-Coded M12 to RJ45 Standard Flex

Zebra CBL-ENT00500-M1200 is a 5-metre Ethernet cable with an X-Coded M12 connector on one end and a standard RJ45 plug on the other. Designed in a Standard Flex construction, the cable provides a wired network link between M12-equipped industrial devices and conventional RJ45 network ports. It is intended for use where a rugged M12 interface is required while maintaining compatibility with typical office or industrial Ethernet equipment.

Advantages

The X-Coded M12 connector supports high-speed data transmission and a secure mechanical connection in applications subject to vibration or movement. The Standard Flex jacket balances flexibility with mechanical strength for routing through equipment racks or cable channels. With a 5 m length, the cable offers reach for common installation scenarios without excessive slack. Compatibility between the M12 interface and RJ45 ports allows integration of devices across industrial and office network architectures.

Suitable for

• Connecting M12-equipped industrial devices to standard RJ45 network switches or routers
• Network cabling in workshops, automation cabinets and factory floors where a robust M12 connector is required
• Office environments that interface with industrial equipment or sensors using M12 ports

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector types: X-Coded M12 to RJ45
• Design: Standard Flex jacket for balanced flexibility and durability
• Data transmission: suitable for high-speed Ethernet over X-Coded M12 and RJ45 interfaces

How to use

Confirm that the device with the M12 port and the network equipment with the RJ45 port are powered down or follow hot-plugging guidelines from the device manufacturer. Align and engage the X-Coded M12 connector onto the device's M12 receptacle, ensuring the connector is fully seated and, if applicable, the coupling nut is tightened to the recommended torque. Insert the RJ45 plug into the network switch, router or patch panel until it latches. Verify network link and data transfer according to the connected devices' diagnostics or indicator LEDs.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of mechanical abrasion. For installations exposed to frequent movement, verify that the Standard Flex jacket meets the application's flex cycle requirements. When used in industrial settings, follow local grounding and earthing practices and maintain connector cleanliness to preserve reliable signal transmission.
