Among the many top-rate fastening products available from Gould Fasteners is Panduit’s line of overmolded cordsets, recommended for connectivity applications in a number of industries. The manufacturer’s IndustrialNet brand of M12 D-Code Category 5e overmolded cordsets are constructed out of industrial-grade, stranded, twisted pair cable for STP and UTP installations.

These cordsets from Panduit offer quick, reliable connections between machines, devices, switches or enclosures for Ethernet, PROFINET, Modbus, and EtherCAT in plant environments.

High performance and long life

Panduit’s IndustrialNet M12 D-Code Category 5e overmolded cordsets offer high performance and longevity, even under the harshest environmental work conditions, as evidenced by their high IP67/68, NEMA, UL, and M.I.C.E. ratings. Panduit recommends them for use in such industries as food processing, oil and gas, mining, transportation, and the automotive sector, due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures (from -40 to 75 degrees Celsius) and high vibration.

The cordsets have been pre-terminated and overmolded to include Category 5e M12 or RJ45 industrial plugs on each end. The wiring of these plugs is compliant with the T568B and IEC 60603-7-41 standards. Contacts are plated with 50 micro-inches of gold, enhancing performance further. Other key features and advantages include the following:

• Durability and dependability. These cordsets can withstand light wash-down and temporary submerged conditions with no reduction in performance. Rated to ten million flex cycles with its robust construction.
• TPE Jacket. This protects the cable from weld splatter, chemicals, and abrasions. Particularly beneficial in high-flex applications.
• Factory-terminated. IndustrialNet M12 D-Code overmolded cordsets help to reduce termination errors, saving time for users.

An optional RJ45 connector is also available, according to the industry standard.

Nine distinct designs of IndustrialNet M12 D-Code Category 5e overmolded cordsets are available, all fastened together with twist ties, with such variations as D-Code male and female bulkheads or RJ45 ends.
