Overview

The TE Connectivity TCX3872A202-004 M12 X-Code to RJ45 Cable Assembly delivers a high-integrity, shielded connection for industrial Ethernet applications requiring 8-position data transmission. This double-ended cable features an M12 X-code plug on one end and an RJ45 plug on the other, both fully shielded to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) in demanding environments. The 3-meter length provides flexible deployment across factory floors, automation cells, and process control systems. Constructed from PA66+25GF (polyamide 66 with 25% glass fiber reinforcement), the assembly resists moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability in industrial settings. The X-code M12 connector ensures secure mating with IP67/IP68-rated protection, while the RJ45 connector maintains compatibility with standard Ethernet infrastructure. This assembly is manufactured in the US, meeting stringent industrial standards for durability and performance. Ideal for factory automation, robotics, and industrial IoT deployments where robust, high-speed data transmission is critical. The M12 X-Code interface supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth industrial applications. The shielded design minimizes signal loss and crosstalk, ensuring consistent data integrity in noisy environments. The RJ45 end is designed for Cat 6A performance, further enhancing signal quality for critical industrial networks. The cable assembly is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C, accommodating extreme temperature conditions common in industrial settings. Its IP67/IP68-rated M12 connector provides protection against dust, water immersion, and high-pressure cleaning, while the RJ45 connector meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for structured cabling. The assembly is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, aligning with environmental and safety regulations. Its rugged construction withstands vibration and mechanical shock up to 50G, ensuring reliable operation in dynamic industrial environments.
