The Brad® Micro-Change® M12 CAT6A connector system with its innovative cross shielding (X-coded conforming to IEC 61076-2-109) for superior signal integrity is the next development in terms of speed in the M12 form factor. Conventional M12 connectors support Cat5e Ethernet up to 10/100 megabits per second vs. the Micro-Change M12 CAT6A system, which achieves up to 10 Gbps Ethernet. The rugged M12 CAT6A system is ideal for vision systems and other high-speed data transfer applications in harsh environments that may be subject to vibration. Sealed CAT6A RJ45 connectors that are twice the size of the M12 form factor can be replaced by the Micro-Change CAT6A system, enabling the use of smaller enclosures. Product family extensions already in development include an M12 to RJ45 CAT6A bulkhead panel-mount adapter and M12 to RJ45 CAT6A molded male cable assemblies. Planned future product extensions to this system will use the M12 Ultra-Lock® connection system with a push/pull locking mechanism rated to IP69K FEATURES & BENEFITS
