Product Introduction
What Is a M12 X Code To RJ45 Industrial Ethernet Cable?
An M12 X code to RJ45 industrial Ethernet cable connects equipment with an M12 X code port to an Ethernet network through an RJ45 plug. It provides a wired link for industrial code readers, switches, host computers, and other network devices.
With supported equipment and correct network configuration, it enables Ethernet data exchange. This cable is offered as a compatible reference alternative to KEYENCE OP-87359.
What is the difference between industrial Ethernet cables and I/O control cables?
An industrial Ethernet cable carries data between devices, linking a code reader to networked equipment. An I/O control cable carries signals such as trigger inputs, digital outputs, and status signals.
They may differ in connector design, pin mapping, conductor layout, and electrical requirements. Ethernet is used for data exchange; I/O wiring supports control and status functions as defined by the device interface.
How to Choose the Appropriate Industrial Ethernet Cable ?
For compatible KEYENCE SR-650, SR-750, and SR-5000 reader models, verify M12 X-coded connector gender/keying, RJ45 port, routing length, data rate, cable pairs, shielding, jacket, and termination. For 1 Gbps links, confirm device support and actual cable test results; consider grounding and routing.
Core Product Value
◆ Directly Connect Network Interfaces
This cable combines an M12 X code connector and RJ45 plug in one assembly, creating a wired Ethernet path between compatible industrial code readers and network devices with fewer intermediate adapters.
◆ Provide an Industrial Ethernet Solution
This cable provides an Ethernet connection between compatible industrial devices. Its integrated connector assembly helps avoid improvised connections and supports orderly integration into automation networks.
◆ Simplify Wiring and Maintenance
The M12 X code and RJ45 ends make connection points easy to identify and cable routes easier to organize. Neater routing reduces clutter and supports inspection and replacement during maintenance tasks.
◆ Support Code Reader Data Networking
For compatible KEYENCE SR series applications, readers can send results to host computers or network systems over Ethernet. This cable provides the physical link for barcode reading, data collection, and traceability.

Product FAQ
Can it connect to an industrial switch ?
The cable can link a reader to an industrial switch when the reader has a compatible M12 port, the switch has an RJ45 port, and the cable meets the devices' network requirements.
Can the Cable Also Supply Power ?
Not by default. Power delivery depends on whether the reader, power source, interface, and cable support the required method, such as PoE. A standard Ethernet cable does not guarantee power.
How Do You Troubleshoot a Reader ?
Check both connectors, power and link indicators, IP/subnet settings, and host communication settings. If needed, test with a verified cable to isolate cable, port, switch, or configuration faults.
Can the Cable Convert Protocols ?
No. The cable provides an Ethernet link, not protocol conversion. Communication depends on compatible protocols, network settings, and device software; conversion requires a suitable gateway.
