Tripp Lite NM12-6A4-10M-BL M12 RJ45 Cat6a Cable 10M

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE NM12-6A4-10M-BL is an industrial-grade M12 to RJ45 Cat6a FTP network cable designed for demanding environments where standard patch cables are not suitable. At 10 meters in length, this cable bridges M12 circular connector equipment and standard RJ45 network infrastructure. The Cat6a FTP construction provides shielded, high-frequency signal integrity up to the 10GbE standard. It is typically installed by network technicians and industrial automation specialists in factory floors, transportation systems, and outdoor or wet-location control panels.

This cable is suited for industrial Ethernet applications where M12 connectors are required for secure, vibration-resistant connections. Typical use cases include PLCs, industrial switches, sensors, and field devices that use the M12 circular connector standard alongside conventional Cat6a network infrastructure. The FTP shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference common in industrial settings. Both indoor and outdoor industrial deployments are appropriate applications depending on the jacket rating of the installed environment.

Key Features

• M12 to RJ45 configuration bridges industrial and standard network equipment
• Cat6a FTP construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
• Foiled twisted pair shielding reduces EMI and crosstalk in electrically noisy environments
• 10-meter length accommodates typical panel-to-switch or device-to-switch runs
• M12 circular connector provides a locking, vibration-resistant termination

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial patch cable for use with equipment utilizing M12 Ethernet ports and standard RJ45 Cat6a network switches or patch panels in industrial Ethernet installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by network technicians or industrial controls electricians. Power down or disconnect network devices before swapping active cables in live control systems when possible. Verify the M12 connector coding type (A, B, D, or X) matches the port on the connected device before installation, as mismatched codings will prevent proper mating. Route cables away from high-voltage conductors and secure with appropriate cable management to prevent mechanical stress on the connectors.
