M12 D-Code Ethernet Cable Assemblies with Shielded Cat5e Construction

Tensility M12 D-code Ethernet cable assemblies are designed for industrial communication systems where secure connections and consistent performance are required. The D-code keying structure is standardized for 4-pin industrial Ethernet (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps) applications and features threaded coupling to help maintain connection integrity in demanding environments.

These assemblies utilize Cat5e cable with a two-pair (2PR) 24 AWG construction, supporting reliable data transmission up to 1 Gbps. The Cat5e specification ensures controlled impedance and consistent signal performance, while shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electrically noisy environments.

Cable options include PVC jacket materials to support a range of installation requirements. PVC provides a cost-effective solution for general-purpose indoor applications while maintaining durability and flame resistance for reliable performance.

Designed for industrial use, these assemblies support 48 V systems with current ratings up to 1.5 A and operate across a -40°C to +105°C temperature range. The cable construction also supports resistance to oil, water, and UV exposure, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

An IP67 rating is achieved when mated with a corresponding M12 connector, helping protect against dust and water ingress in industrial installations. Consistent connector geometry across the product line supports integration into both new designs and existing systems.
