1408668

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1408668 is a network cable designed for Ethernet CAT5 applications supporting data transmission rates up to 1 Gbps. The assembly features an 8-position configuration with customizable cable types and shielding. It connects a right-angle M12 SPEEDCON plug, coded A and rated IP67, to a straight RJ45 push-pull connector also rated IP67. Cable length is specified as freely inputtable within the range of 0.2 meters.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed Ethernet CAT5 data transmission at 1 Gbps
• Utilizes M12 SPEEDCON technology for secure locking
• Provides robust environmental protection via IP67 ratings on both connectors

Applications

• Industrial automation networks requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity
• Fieldbus systems utilizing M12 SPEEDCON interfaces
• Control cabinet wiring connecting devices to network switches

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cable length requirement during ordering, as this model allows for free input within the 0.2-meter minimum range. Confirm that the application environment supports the IP67 rating and that the M12 SPEEDCON locking mechanism is compatible with the mating port. Ensure the RJ45 push-pull interface matches the receiving device specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a pre-assembled, shielded Ethernet solution is required between an M12 SPEEDCON field connection and a standard RJ45 network port. The right-angle M12 design aids in space-constrained installations. Verify that the A-coding aligns with the network protocol requirements and that the 1 Gbps speed meets system bandwidth needs.

Part Context

This product belongs to Phoenix Contact's network cable portfolio, specifically engineered for industrial Ethernet environments. It integrates the SPEEDCON series, which emphasizes tool-free assembly and secure locking mechanisms. The combination of M12 and RJ45 interfaces facilitates direct integration into control systems without requiring separate adapters or custom cabling.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Replacement requires matching the M12 SPEEDCON coding, RJ45 push-pull interface type, and IP67 protection levels.
