1201762

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1201762 is an NBC-M12MSD-R4AC/93F network cable. It features a straight M12 male plug with D-coding and IP65 protection on one end, and a straight RJ45 plug (IP20) on the other. The cable supports Ethernet CAT5e speeds up to 100 Mbps. It utilizes a highly flexible TPE jacket in turquoise color and includes shielding for signal integrity.

Feature Summary

• M12 D-coded connector ensures reliable data transmission for industrial Ethernet applications
• IP65 rated M12 plug provides dust-tight and water-resistant protection for harsh environments
• Highly flexible TPE material allows for repeated movement and bending without damage
• Shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference for stable network connectivity

Applications

• Industrial automation sensor and actuator connections
• Machine tool networking and control cabinet wiring
• Factory floor device integration requiring robust cabling
• Ethernet fieldbus systems in demanding operational settings

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific length suffix if required, as the base part number may denote standard lengths. Confirm that the D-coding matches the mating port requirements of the target device. Ensure the IP65 rating is sufficient for the installation environment's exposure to moisture and particulates. Check compatibility with existing RJ45 infrastructure on the opposite end.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a ruggedized M12 connection is necessary for Ethernet networks. The D-coding is specific to certain industrial protocols; verify protocol support before purchase. Consider the flexibility needs of the application, as TPE offers superior bend life compared to PVC. Ensure the shielded design aligns with the system's grounding strategy to prevent noise issues.

Part Context

This component belongs to Phoenix Contact's NBC series of network cables. These cables are designed for connecting devices in industrial Ethernet environments. The M12 interface is standard for field-level devices, while the RJ45 end connects to standard network hardware. This specific variant bridges the gap between rugged field sensors and standard IT infrastructure.
