1201088712

Overview

The Molex 1201088712 is a Micro-Change Ethernet cable assembly from the 120108 series. It features an M12 D-coded male connector on one end and an RJ45 male connector on the other, with a straight-to-straight configuration. The cable length is 41 meters (134.5 feet). This networking cable supports industrial data transmission applications requiring robust connectivity.

Feature Summary

• Combines M12 D-coded industrial interface with standard RJ45 connectivity
• Long-reach 41-meter cable design for extended network distances
• Straight-to-straight connector orientation for straightforward routing

Applications

• Industrial Ethernet network extensions
• Connecting PLCs to remote I/O stations
• Machine tool data link integration

Procurement Notes

Verify exact length requirements as 41m is a specific long-reach variant. Confirm M12 D-coding compatibility with target devices. Check environmental ratings if used in harsh conditions. Ensure RJ45 side matches standard networking equipment ports. Validate that the manufacturer's specifications meet your system's electrical standards before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part when extending Ethernet networks over significant distances using M12 interfaces. It bridges industrial M12 systems with standard RJ45 infrastructure. Consider shorter variants like 1201088182 if distance requirements are lower. Ensure the D-coding aligns with PROFINET or EtherNet/IP protocols commonly used in automation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Molex Brad Micro-Change 120108 series of sensor and actuator cables. While many parts in this series use M12-to-M12 configurations, the 1201088712 specifically utilizes an M12-to-RJ45 topology. It serves as a specialized networking solution within the broader Micro-Change product family designed for industrial automation environments.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific 41m M12-to-RJ45 configuration. Shorter M12-to-RJ45 variants may exist but differ significantly in length. Custom cable assemblies might be required if exact 41m length is critical and no official replacement is available.
