1408660

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1408660 is a network cable designed for Ethernet CAT5 applications supporting data rates up to 1 Gbit/s. The assembly features an 8-position configuration with a straight M12 SPEEDCON socket on one end and a straight RJ45 plug on the other. It utilizes shielded cabling with variable wire type construction. The M12 connector incorporates A-coding and provides IP67 ingress protection, while the RJ45 side also maintains IP67 rating through its push-pull mechanism.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed Ethernet communication at 1 Gbit/s speeds
• Integrates M12 SPEEDCON technology for secure connection
• Provides robust environmental sealing against dust and water

Applications

• Industrial automation sensor networks
• Factory floor data transmission systems
• Control cabinet interconnects requiring ruggedized connections

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires CAT5 performance levels rather than higher categories. Confirm that the M12 A-coding matches existing system pinout requirements. Ensure the straight-to-straight orientation fits spatial constraints within the installation environment. Validate that the IP67 rating meets the operational exposure conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a direct link between M12 field devices and standard RJ45 network infrastructure is required. Consider the SPEEDCON interface for rapid mating cycles in dynamic environments. Evaluate the shielded construction for noise immunity in electrically noisy industrial settings compared to unshielded alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to Phoenix Contact's NBC-FS-R4QC series of pre-assembled network cables. These products bridge the gap between industrial fieldbus standards and standard Ethernet networking protocols. The SPEEDCON variant emphasizes quick connection capabilities without tools.
