L-com's new M12 field termination connectors consist of three configurations: 8-position X-code male, 4-position D-code male and 4-position D-code female.

The D-code versions are rated for up to Cat5e speeds and the X-code version is rated for up to Cat6a performance.
The new M12 4-position D-code coupler is fully shielded, IP67-rated when mated and supports Cat5e applications. It can be used as a coupler, adapter or gender changer. The coupler is panel mountable and has an operating temperature range of -25 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius.
L-com's two new M12 8-position X-code receptacles are offered in front-mount or rear-mount styles. Both receptacles are fully shielded and IP67-rated offering Cat6a performance. The outer connection is an M12 X-code receptacle and the internal connection is a solder/PCB mount-style interface. The operating temperature range for these receptacles is -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius.
