•
Further development of the RJ45 in the protection
degree IP 67 is described in IEC61076-3-117 and
elsewhere.
M12
• M12 has been tried and proven in automation
engineering for more than 30 years.
• Compact connection solution in IP 67
•
M12 is described in IEC 61076-2-101.
Specially equipped with a d-coded connector face, M12 is specied for use in
Industrial Ethernet networks.
M12 X-Type
• Re-standardised since 2011, 8-core solution for up
to 10 Gigabits in proven M12 housing
• Compact connection solution in IP 67
• IEC 61067-2-109 describes the M12 X-Type.
Apart from the standards and guidelines applicable to networks, other plug-
in systems are also conceivable. These are not however compatible with the
