FINECABLES
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FINECABLES from 3G Electric.
What are the key specifications of FINECABLES M12 to RJ45 cordsets?
FINECABLES M12 to RJ45 cordsets are available in 1 m, 3 m, and 5 m lengths. They feature a D-coded M12 male straight connector on one end and an RJ45 male straight connector on the other. The cable jacket is black PUR, and the cordsets are shielded with 24 AWG wire. They provide Cat5e performance and are rated IP68 for protection against dust and water ingress. These cordsets are designed for industrial Ethernet connections between M12 D-coded devices and RJ45 equipment.
What is the difference between the FINECABLES panel feed-through adapters with straight and right-angle configurations?
FINECABLES panel feed-through adapters are available with either straight or right-angle RJ45 jacks. The straight version, such as SKU 808CC7, has an M12 female straight connector and a straight RJ45 jack. The right-angle versions, like SKU 808CJ7 and 808CJ8, feature a right-angle RJ45 jack or M12 connector, which can save space and simplify cable routing in tight enclosures. All adapters have nickel-plated brass housings and IP67 ratings. Pin counts vary: some models have 4 pins on the M12 side, others have 8 pins.
Are FINECABLES service connector covers compatible with both RJ45 and USB bulkhead connectors?
Yes, the FINECABLES service connector cover (SKU 808CD0) is designed for both RJ45 and USB bulkhead connectors. It is made of black polyamide with a glass fiber cover and is rated IP67. This cover provides protection against dust and temporary water immersion when the connector is not in use. It is suitable for maintaining ingress protection in industrial environments where connectors may be exposed to contaminants.
What materials are used in FINECABLES device-side RJ45 connectors?
FINECABLES device-side RJ45 connectors, such as SKU 808CD1, feature a phosphor bronze housing. This material offers durability and corrosion resistance. The connector is designed for panel mounting and has an IP67 rating. It is an industrial-grade female connector suitable for Cat5e and Cat6 applications. The black housing is typical for this product family, which is intended for harsh environments where standard plastic connectors may not suffice.
Can FINECABLES M12 cordsets be used in applications requiring Cat5e performance?
Yes, FINECABLES M12 to RJ45 cordsets are rated for Cat5e performance. This makes them suitable for industrial Ethernet protocols that operate at speeds up to 100 MHz, such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. The shielded construction and D-coding on the M12 end help maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The cordsets are available in multiple lengths to accommodate different layout requirements.
