Overview

The TE Connectivity TCX38725102-002 is a high-performance M12 X-Code to RJ45 shielded cable assembly designed for industrial Ethernet applications requiring robust, high-speed data transmission. This double-ended cable features an 8-position M12 X-Code male plug on one end and an 8-position RJ45 male plug on the other, enabling seamless connectivity between industrial devices and standard networking equipment. Engineered for CAT6A performance, this cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds with a maximum rated voltage of 30V and current of 0.5A. The 26AWG x 4P stranded wires are constructed from copper with a 30µ" gold plating on the terminals, ensuring reliable signal integrity and low contact resistance (15mΩ max). The cable jacket is approximately 7.45mm in outer diameter, with options for PVC (moderate flexibility), PUR (high flexibility for drag chain applications), or TPE (extreme high flexibility) materials. The overmolding is available in black TPU or PVC, providing additional durability and strain relief. This cable assembly is ideal for factory automation, process control systems, robotics, and IoT deployments where reliable, high-bandwidth data links are critical. It excels in harsh industrial environments, including those with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), thanks to its fully shielded design. The cable undergoes rigorous testing, including 1 million drag chain cycles (R=75mm, V=2m/s, A=2m/s²) and 3 million torsion cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in dynamic applications. With a standard length of 1 meter, it offers practical flexibility for equipment placement within control cabinets and on the factory floor. The TCX3872 series is part of TE Connectivity's industrial Ethernet portfolio, delivering a dependable solution for critical network connections in demanding operational conditions.
