Industrial Ethernet M12 to RJ45 Cat6A 5m 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 5m TPE jacket, purpose-built for drag chain operation in robot zones with oils and lubricants. It's shielded and rated for up to 10,000,000 bending cycles and 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 complies with AS/NZS 3000. Full technical specifications and installation notes are listed below.

FAQ
Q: How durable is this SICK drag chain cable rated for continuous motion?
A: It's rated for up to 10,000,000 bending cycles and 3,000,000 torsion cycles at 270° per meter, built for continuous drag chain and robot operation.
Q: What jacket material does this cable use?
A: It uses an 8-wire TPE jacket, chosen for flexibility and high bending radius in drag chain applications.
For a longer TPE drag chain run, the M12 to RJ45 Cat6A 20m 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.
