1408657

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1408657 is a custom-length Ethernet copper patch cable designed for industrial network connectivity. The assembly features an 8-position Socket angled M12 SPEEDCON connector with A coding and IP67 ingress protection on one end, paired with a free cable end on the other. It supports Ethernet CAT5 performance at speeds up to 1 Gbps. The cable construction includes shielding to mitigate electromagnetic interference. The variable cable type allows for specific length requirements to be input during ordering, ensuring precise fit for control cabinet or field installations.

Feature Summary

• SPEEDCON M12 female connector enables tool-free, quick connection and disassembly without requiring additional tools.
• Angled socket design facilitates compact routing and reduces strain on the connection point in confined spaces.
• IP67 rated housing ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments with dust and water exposure.
• Shielded cable construction maintains signal integrity for high-speed data transmission.

Applications

• Industrial Ethernet networks requiring robust field-level connectivity
• Control cabinet wiring where space-saving angled connections are necessary
• Automation systems utilizing M12 SPEEDCON interface standards
• Sensor and actuator level data communication links

Procurement Notes

Verify the required cable length specification before finalizing the order, as this item is manufactured to customer-specified dimensions. Confirm that the application environment is compatible with the IP67 rating and that the system utilizes the M12 SPEEDCON locking mechanism. Ensure the network infrastructure supports the specified CAT5 speed capabilities and that grounding requirements for the shielded cable are met in the installation design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a pre-terminated, shielded Ethernet solution with rapid mating capability is required. The angled M12 connector is suitable for applications where straight connectors would obstruct adjacent components. Consider the variable length option to minimize excess cabling. Verify compatibility with existing SPEEDCON ports and ensure the network topology supports the 1 Gbps data rate defined by the CAT5 specification.

Part Context

This product belongs to Phoenix Contact's NBC-M12FR-IE series of network cables. The series provides standardized interfaces for industrial automation, combining durable M12 connectors with flexible cabling options. The SPEEDCON technology distinguishes these assemblies by offering simplified assembly processes compared to traditional screw-lock mechanisms, enhancing efficiency in large-scale deployment scenarios.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the M12 SPEEDCON interface, 8-position configuration, and angled orientation. Generic M12 cables with different locking mechanisms may not provide the same tool-free assembly benefits. Verify that any replacement maintains the IP67 rating and shielding characteristics to ensure equivalent performance in the intended industrial environment.
