L-com Global Connectivity, a manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, released a new series of M12 cable assemblies.

The company says that for extra strength, these cables are built with high-flex, outdoor CMX-rated, double-shielded, FR-TPE cable and IP68 rated M12 connectors. It says they are designed to exceed category standards and ensure optimal network throughput even in harsh industrial or extreme weather conditions.

The cable assemblies are available off-the-shelf with connector options that include D-coded, 4-position male M12, 4-position female M12 and standard RJ45 combinations.

L-com says that the Flame-Retardant Thermoplastic Elastomer (FR-TPE) cable jackets are resistant to oil, sunlight (UV), and weld spatter. Additionally, these cables are rated for 600V and are flex-tested to 1 million cycles at 10x cable OD and 10 million cycles at 20x cable OD.

A double-shielded braid and foil design provides protection from EMI/RFI. The company says the cables are intended for applications such as industrial Ethernet, test equipment, industrial controls, factory automation, I/O connectivity, and sensor and actuator connectivity.

L-com's M12 cables are available in 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 meter lengths. Custom lengths and labeling are also available.
