FAQ

A-coding is the most common M12 coding standard and is typically used for sensors, actuators, DC power, and 1 Gbit Ethernet. This connector is ideal for such sensor/actuator applications.

An IP67 rating means the connector is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes, once it is properly connected and tightened.

No, this 4-pole A-coded connector is not suitable for Profinet or most industrial Ethernet protocols. Those typically require 4-pole D-coded (for 100 Mbit) or 8-pole X-coded (for 10 Gbit) connectors.
