Purchase now: Phoenix Contact 1405012 Industrial Ethernet Cable
Buy now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Phoenix Contact 1405012 (Type: VS-M12MS-M12MS-940-LI/ 2,0), a high-performance, pre-assembled CAT5e Ethernet Cable designed for critical industrial networks. In the era of Industry 4.0, data integrity is as important as power distribution. This 2-meter cable is engineered to facilitate robust communication between PLCs, HMIs, and remote I/O blocks using PROFINET or Ethernet/IP protocols, ensuring zero packet loss even in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Technical Specifications and SPEEDCON Technology
The 1405012 features two straight M12 connectors (Male to Male) with D-coding, the standard for industrial Ethernet. It utilizes Phoenix Contact’s SPEEDCON rapid interlock system, which allows for a secure, vibration-proof connection with just a half-turn, reducing installation time by 90% compared to traditional threaded connectors. The cable itself is constructed with a Water Blue (RAL 5021) PUR jacket, which is halogen-free and resistant to oil, hydrolysis, and microbes, making it suitable for harsh manufacturing zones.
- Part Number: 1405012.
- Cable Structure: 2x2xAWG26/7 (Stranded).
- Shielding: Tinned copper braided shield (approx. 85% coverage).
- Data Rate: Up to 1 Gbps (CAT5e performance).
- Protection Rating: IP65 / IP67 (when mated).
- Temperature Range: -40 °C to +80 °C (Fixed installation).
Expert Installation Advice: Managing Signal Integrity
When routing the 1405012 in cable trays, it is vital to maintain separation from high-voltage power cables (e.g., VFD motor cables). Although this cable features a high-quality braided shield, running it parallel to power lines for long distances can induce noise. Expert Tip: Always ground the shield at both ends via the metallic housing of the M12 connector. Ensure the receptacle on your device is also properly grounded to the machine chassis to drain EMI effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is this cable suitable for drag chains (moving applications)?
A: The 1405012 is designed primarily for fixed installations or flexible use with low mechanical stress. For continuous high-speed motion (robotics), we recommend the «Robot» grade PUR series, although this cable can withstand occasional movement.
Q: What does «D-coded» mean?
A: M12 connectors have physical «keys» to prevent mismatching. D-coding (4 pins) is specifically reserved for Industrial Ethernet (100 Mbps). You cannot plug this into an A-coded sensor port.
