Accesorio de red industrial METZ CONNECT 142M2X11020

The METZ CONNECT 142M2X11020 is a shielded industrial Ethernet connection cable with straight M12 X‑coded plugs on both ends. The Cat.6A, 8‑pole design with 1:1 pin assignment and overall tinned copper braid provides robust signal transmission for industrial networks. The cable has a green PUR jacket, extrusion-coated connectors and stranded PiMF conductors, and this variant is supplied in a 2.0 m length with IPX7 protection.

Advantages

Shielding and an overall tinned copper braid reduce electromagnetic interference and improve data integrity in industrial environments. The X‑coded M12 connectors and Cat.6A specification support high-speed Ethernet applications up to the standard limits for Cat6A cabling. Extrusion-coated connectors and a PUR jacket increase mechanical and chemical resistance suitable for demanding installation conditions. The 1:1 pin assignment and standardized M12 plug design simplify installation and compatibility with industrial equipment.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet connections requiring Cat.6A performance
• Machine-to-machine and device cabling in production environments
• Environments needing IPX7-rated connectors for splash and temporary immersion protection
• Applications requiring robust, chemically resistant PUR-jacketed cables

How to use

Connect the straight M12 X‑coded plugs to the corresponding M12 X‑coded ports on industrial switches, devices or sensors ensuring the 1:1 pin assignment alignment. Route the PUR‑jacketed cable avoiding sharp edges and excessive bending; observe manufacturer minimum bend radius where applicable. For installations exposed to liquids or temporary immersion, ensure connector mating is done per IPX7 guidance and verify seals are intact. Use cable lengths appropriate for the installation and secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Choose the specified 2.0 m length for typical machine cabling; other lengths (1.0 m, 5.0 m, 10.0 m) are available on request. Inspect connectors before use and replace if protective coatings or seals are damaged. For high‑speed Ethernet applications, keep cable runs and terminations compliant with Cat.6A installation practices to maintain performance.
