Overview

The Mencom MDE45WB-8MFP-2M is a shielded, continuous-flex M12 Ethernet cordset engineered for reliable industrial connectivity in motion control, robotics, and automated machinery. This 8-pole, 2-meter cordset features M12 male straight to M12 female straight connectors, ensuring secure mating in harsh environments. The teal TPE cable (7.6mm OD) delivers exceptional flexibility and durability, rated for continuous motion applications with weld slag resistance. The cable includes foil and braided shielding for EMI/RFI protection, while the shielding terminates at the coupling nut—not the connector body—allowing flexible grounding strategies in industrial Ethernet networks. Rated for 60V/2A, CAT5e performance, and IP67 ingress protection, this cordset supports twisted-pair Ethernet protocols in demanding settings. Standard lengths range from 1m to 15m; consult the factory for custom lengths. The nickel-plated brass coupling nut is standard, with a stainless steel option (-SS suffix) for corrosion resistance. Compatible with Mencom’s M12 Ethernet series, this cordset integrates seamlessly with automation systems requiring robust, shielded connections. Ideal for factory floors, material handling, and process control where vibration, moisture, and contaminants are present.
