Overview

The TE Connectivity TAX3872A202-005 is an 8-position, 5-meter M12 cable assembly engineered for industrial Ethernet applications. This double-ended cable features M12 plug connectors on both ends with X-Code termination, supporting high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps for reliable industrial networking. The shielded construction with overall foil and braid shielding ensures robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments such as factory automation, robotics, and process control systems. Constructed with a PA66+25GF (Polyamide 66 with 25% Glass Fiber) jacket, this cable delivers exceptional mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance—ideal for harsh industrial conditions. The cable’s 8-position configuration supports full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet, making it compatible with industrial Ethernet protocols including PROFINET, EtherCAT, and Ethernet/IP. With a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the assembly withstands extreme thermal cycling common in outdoor or unconditioned industrial spaces.
