Connection Format: M12 8-Pin X-Coded Female Connector
⚫
Transmission rate: 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
Prepare the M12 8-Pin X-Coded Ethernet Port mating cable for Ethernet connection. The M12 X-Coded
Ethernet ports are auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T devices connections. Auto
MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another switch or workstation without changing straight through
or crossover cabling. See pin assignment shown in Table 2.2

Connection of Cables
Use the twisted-pair cable, category 5e or the above cabling for M12 port connections. The cable between
the Ethernet switch and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328
ft.) long.
