RevConnect also features insulation piercing that supports 23-24 AWG Cat 5e, 6 and 6a, which is useful for stranded conductors, and uses UL94 V-O materials and IP20 and other ratings to withstand vibration, noise, extreme temperatures and other harsh conditions.
X-coded IP65/67-rated, industrial M12 connector/cordsets for high-bandwidth Ethernet applications transfer high volumes of error-free data, while Y-coded M12 connector/cordsets transfer data and power. They move up to 10 gigabits per second according to Cat 6a (ISO/IEC 11801), while a metal, x-shaped cross in the connector safely separates the four data pairs from each other, while internal shielding protects the cable from external interference. They're also combining with resistant PUR cables, maintain 360° shielding end-to-end, have a soldered shield connection between cable and connectors, and come in lengths up to 50 meters. A metal "y" in the Y-coded connector separates its four power transfer contacts from its four signal contacts in the pin arrangement, making it possible to transfer up to 100 megabits per second of data according to Cat 5e, while also providing 2 x 6A power.

Because increasingly small, complex devices need more power than original A-code M12 can provide, M12 Power cables and connectors are UL listed and tested under UL 2237 (File E46873), and can handle currents up to 16 A or voltages up to 600 V AC/63 V DC. They're based on the new IEC 61076-2-111 standard, which cleared the way for high-power applications in the familiar M12 form factor. M12 Power includes cable assemblies, field-wireable connectors and panel-mounted receptacles with a quick disconnect system. Because they're designed for a common, 16-mm panel knockout, they simplify panel upgrades. M12 Power connectors come in shielded and unshielded versions, and are available in five different codings (T and L for DC, and S, K, and M for AC) to prevent mismating. Also, the four-pin L-code version is recommended by the Profibus/Profinet user organization for powering Profinet devices.
