TE Connectivity’s M8/M12 Connector System for machine industrial automation and control applications provides a solution that safely and reliably ensures the communication in industrial environments. Designed to IEC-61076-2-101, this connector system also finds applications outside of its traditional industries where a compact, reliable connection system with environmental protection is required. TE’s solution includes an extensive connector range of receptacles, cable assemblies and IO boxes, and provides users with an interface that supports higher bandwidth needs meeting the requirements of up to 10 Gb/s. TE’s broad product portfolio provides customers with shielded and unshielded cable assembly options in both Cat5e and Cat6A cable types. For re-wiring on site, a range of field serviceable connectors are provided that include male and female versions in 3, 4, 5, 8, and 12 positions and Y connectors. Additional styles are available on request including alternative mounting arrangements for panel mount connectors and double ended cable assemblies.
