1408667

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1408667 is a custom-length Ethernet network cable belonging to the NBC-M12MS-M12MR-IE series. It supports CAT5 specifications with data transmission rates up to 1 Gbps. The assembly features an 8-position configuration utilizing M12 SPEEDCON connectors. One end terminates in a straight plug (M12MS) and the other in a right-angle plug (M12MR), both employing A-coding for Pin Assignment 1/2, 3/6. The cable construction includes shielding to ensure signal integrity and provides IP67 ingress protection ratings at the connector interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes M12 SPEEDCON technology for reliable industrial Ethernet connectivity
• Features mixed orientation design with one straight and one angled connector
• Incorporates full shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference
• Provides IP67 environmental protection at connection points

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Factory floor sensor and actuator networking
• Machine tool data transmission links
• Process control instrumentation connections

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific project requirements align with the M12 SPEEDCON interface standard rather than legacy M12 designs. Confirm that the A-coding pin assignment matches the connected device ports. Ensure the required cable length falls within the manufacturer's available customization range for this product line. Check that the operating environment is compatible with the specified shielding and IP67 ratings.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a pre-assembled solution is preferred over field-terminated cables to ensure consistent performance. Choose the M12 SPEEDCON variant for applications requiring robust, high-cycle mating durability. The combination of straight and angled connectors facilitates routing in confined spaces where direct alignment is impossible. Verify compatibility with existing network infrastructure supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Part Context

This item is part of Phoenix Contact's NBC-M12MS-M12MR-IE series, designed specifically for industrial Ethernet applications. The series emphasizes flexibility through customizable lengths while maintaining standardized M12 connectivity. It serves as a critical link in structured cabling systems, bridging controllers and field devices within automated environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the M12 SPEEDCON form factor and A-coding. Generic M12 cables may lack the SPEEDCON locking mechanism or specific shielding characteristics. Verify that any alternative maintains the same IP67 rating and 1 Gbps capability.
