1408636

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1408636 is a network cable designed for industrial automation environments. It supports PROFINET CAT5 and EtherCAT® CAT5 protocols with data rates up to 100 Mbps. The assembly features a straight M12 SPEEDCON plug on one end, utilizing D-coding and offering IP67 protection. The opposite end terminates in a straight RJ45 connector. The cable contains four positions and employs Advanced Shielding Technology (AST) for effective electromagnetic interference suppression. It is constructed with a variable cable type suitable for flexible deployment.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an M12 SPEEDCON connector with D-coding for secure, tool-free mating and high ingress protection.
• Features RJ45 termination compatible with standard Ethernet ports.
• Utilizes Advanced Shielding Technology to ensure signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial settings.

Applications

• PROFINET fieldbus network connections
• EtherCAT industrial communication systems
• Connecting programmable logic controllers to field devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cable length required, as indicated by the placeholder segments in the full part code NBC-M12MSD-R4RC-PN/……/……. Confirm that the D-coding aligns with the port configuration of the target equipment. Ensure the IP67 rating meets the environmental exposure requirements of the installation site. Cross-reference the official Phoenix Contact datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions and shielding specifications before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, shielded connection between M12 and RJ45 interfaces is necessary for 100 Mbps networks. The SPEEDCON mechanism facilitates rapid installation without tools. Consider the IP67 rating for applications requiring protection against dust and temporary water immersion. Ensure compatibility with PROFINET or EtherCAT standards if these specific protocols are utilized in the system architecture.

Part Context

This product belongs to the Phoenix Contact interconnect portfolio, specifically within the category of pre-assembled network cables. It bridges the gap between standardized Ethernet infrastructure and industrial-grade circular connectors. The inclusion of SPEEDCON technology distinguishes it from traditional screw-lock M12 variants, offering faster assembly times while maintaining high mechanical stability and environmental sealing capabilities.

Replacement Considerations
