Product Introduction
What Is an LMI Gocator 14 Pin M16 To RJ45 Cable ?
LMI Gocator 14 pin M16 to RJ45 open wire cable is designed for compatible Gocator 3D sensors with a 14 pin M16 Power/LAN interface.
The M16 connector links to the sensor, the RJ45 plug carries Ethernet data to a computer or switch, and open wires connect external power and safety circuits.
This harness combines power and network communication for 3D inspection and measurement. It is a Power/LAN cable, not a standard Ethernet cable or I/O cordset.
What Are the Different Functions of the RJ45 and Open Wire Ends?
The RJ45 end carries Ethernet data between the Gocator sensor and a computer or network switch. The open wires connect to the external power supply and specified circuits, including safety wiring. Together, they provide both sensor power and network data communication.
The RJ45 is not a power input, and the open wires are not ordinary PLC I/O leads. Follow the Power/LAN pin assignments for the specific Gocator model.
Selection Guide
Select the cable by confirming the Gocator model, 14 pin M16 connector gender and keying, Power/LAN pinout, power and safety wiring, RJ45 Ethernet speed, shielding, cable length, exit direction and installation environment. For moving equipment, assess bend radius, abrasion resistance and flex life.
Core Product Value
◆ Integrated Power and Ethernet Routing
The cable combines sensor power wiring and Ethernet communication in one harness. Its M16, RJ45 and open wire ends create organized connection paths between the Gocator sensor, power supply and network equipment.
◆ Dedicated 14 Pin Sensor Connection
The 14 pin M16 connector mates with the compatible Gocator Power/LAN interface and provides a dedicated sensor side connection. This integrated cable layout simplifies equipment installation, maintenance and replacement.
◆ Separate Network and Power Wiring
The RJ45 and open wire ends serve separate roles, allowing network data and power or specified safety circuits to be routed to their respective equipment connections. This supports clear cabinet and machine wiring.
◆ Support for Industrial Cable Routing
For equipment with moving cable paths, a suitable high flex construction can help the harness withstand repeated bending and abrasion. This supports organized routing in cable chains and automated inspection systems.

Product FAQ
Can the RJ45 and Open Wire Ends Be Used Together ?
Yes. RJ45 carries Ethernet data; open wires connect power and safety circuits. Both ends work together to power the Gocator sensor and provide network communication. Follow the model-specific pinout.
Can the Open Wire End Connect Directly to a PLC ?
Not as general purpose I/O. The open wires carry specified power and safety circuits. Connect them to PLC terminals only when the Gocator pinout and electrical ratings confirm a compatible function.
Can the RJ45 End Supply Power Through PoE ?
RJ45 carries Ethernet data; sensor power uses the designated open wires. Do not assume PoE is supported unless the documentation for the specific Gocator model confirms it.
Can Cable Length and M16 Orientation Be Customized ?
Yes. Cable length and M16 connector orientation can be specified for the installation. Pin assignments and conductor construction can also follow an approved drawing or sample.
