M12 X-Coded to RJ45 Bulkhead Adapter | Female | Right Angle | Cat6A/Cat7 | IP67 | ASITPA-4512FX-RA
The ASITPA-4512FX-RA is a shielded M12 X-coded to RJ45 bulkhead adapter
designed to bring industrial Ethernet connectivity through a control panel,
machine enclosure, or equipment housing. It features an 8-pin female X-coded
M12 connection on the exterior and a shielded RJ45 jack inside the enclosure.
The right-angle design helps reduce the space required inside the enclosure
while providing a clean transition between rugged M12 industrial Ethernet
connections and standard RJ45 network cabling. The adapter is designed for
Cat6A and Cat7 cable applications, with an IP67-rated M12 connection when
properly installed.
WHAT PROBLEM DOES THIS SOLVE?
Industrial machines often use rugged M12 Ethernet connections outside the
enclosure while Ethernet switches, controllers, and other network equipment
inside the panel use standard RJ45 connections.
The ASITPA-4512FX-RA creates a permanent through-panel transition between
these two connector types. This eliminates the need to route an Ethernet cable
through an open panel hole or terminate connectors inside the enclosure, while
the right-angle design helps conserve internal panel space.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Female 8-Pin X-Coded M12 to Shielded RJ45 Connection
• Cat6A and Cat7 Compatibility for Industrial Ethernet Applications
• Right-Angle Design Helps Reduce Required Space Inside the Enclosure
• IP67-Rated M12 Interface Helps Protect the External Connection
• Shield-to-Shield Connection Helps Maintain Ethernet Cable Shielding
• Gold-Plated Brass M12 Contacts Provide Reliable Electrical Connections
• Nickel-Plated Metal Components Provide a Durable Panel Interface
• Thru-Panel Design Creates a Clean Machine-to-Network Connection
The datasheet specifies 50VDC, 0.5A, -25°C to +80°C operation, an M16 × 1.5
panel thread, and a recommended 17mm panel opening.
APPLICATIONS
• Industrial Ethernet Networks
• Machine and Control Panel Ethernet Connections
• PLC and Industrial Controller Networks
• Robotics and Automated Machinery
• Machine Vision Systems
• Industrial Ethernet Switch Connections
• Factory Automation Equipment
• Packaging and Material Handling Machinery
WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT?
The ASITPA-4512FX-RA provides a simple way to separate the rugged machine-side
Ethernet connection from the standard network connection inside the enclosure.
Its X-coded M12 interface supports higher-performance Ethernet cabling than
D-coded Cat5e adapters, while the right-angle RJ45 connection helps when
internal enclosure depth is limited.
PRODUCT SELECTION
Use an X-coded adapter when the application requires Cat6A/Cat7-compatible
industrial Ethernet connectivity.
ASI also offers D-coded M12-to-RJ45 adapters for Cat5e applications. The
D-coded versions are better suited when the application does not require the
higher-performance X-coded interface.
WHY ASI?
U.S. inventory, fast shipping, technical support, and 25+ years of industrial
automation experience. That's the ASI way.
