Expert Application FAQ

What devices typically use this M12 D-coded cable?

It is used to connect IP65/67 rated field devices like Siemens ET200SP distributed I/O stations, SCALANCE industrial switches, sensors, and drives with M12 Ethernet ports.

Can I use this cable in a moving cable carrier (drag chain)?

Yes. The 6XV1870-8AH50 is a Flexible Trailing Cable (GP) specifically designed for this, tested for up to 3 million bending cycles at a 100 mm radius.

What does "D-coded" mean for the M12 connector?

It defines the pin layout and key position. D-coding is the standard for 100 Mbit/s Industrial Ethernet (4-pin). Do not mix with A-coded (sensors) or X-coded (1 Gbit/s) connectors.

Is the 180-degree angled connector important?

Yes. The angled exit protects the cable from sharp bends right at the connector and saves space behind the device, which is crucial in tight control boxes.

How is this different from a standard office Ethernet cable?

It has a robust PVC jacket, M12 metal connectors, superior shielding, wide temperature rating, and is designed for oil, dust, water, and mechanical stress—conditions office cables cannot handle.
