Industrial Ethernet M12 to RJ45 Cat6A 20m TPE Drag Chain SICK
This SICK Cat6A drag chain ethernet cable pairs a screw-locking M12 8-pin X-coded connector with an RJ45 8-pin plug over a 20m turquoise TPE jacket, purpose-built for drag chain operation in robot zones with oils and lubricants. It's shielded and rated for up to 3,000,000 torsion cycles at 270°/1m, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbit/s. The cable is IP65/IP67 rated at the M12 connector and UL File No. E513908 certified. Wiring diagrams and compliance documentation are covered further down the page.

FAQ
Q: How many torsion cycles is this SICK drag chain cable rated for?
A: It's rated for up to 3,000,000 torsion cycles at 270° per meter, built for continuous drag chain and robot zone operation.
Q: What jacket material does this cable use?
A: It uses an 8-wire TPE jacket in turquoise, chosen for flexibility and high bending radius in drag chain applications.
For a shorter TPE drag chain run, the M12 to RJ45 Cat6A 5m TPE drag chain cable uses the same jacket construction.
Where a standard PUR jacket is preferred over TPE, an M12 to RJ45 Cat6a cable is a related option.
Where two M12 connectors are needed instead of RJ45, an M12 to M12 Cat6a extension cable fits that setup.
