Introduction
As Ethernet is increasingly used in industrial control, survival of physical media in rugged or harsh environments is
becoming a necessity. The high speed of network protocol allows it to be used in applications where other networks fall
short. EtherNet/IP™ uses both standard Ethernet and TCP/IP technologies and an open application layer protocol that
is called the Control and Information Protocol (CIP). This application layer is the same as used in DeviceNet® and
ControlNet® networks.

Rockwell Automation® Cat 5e Ethernet cables are designed to supply a network connection with excellent reliability in
harsh surroundings. By optimizing the balance of twisted-pair conductors inside a robust Thermoplastic Elastomer
(TPE) jacket, data is protected from noise, chemicals, and mechanical issues to M3I3C3E3 environmental protection
levels. The cable is available in RJ45 patchcords for IP20 applications or in four-pin D-coded M12 patchcords for IP67
applications where high vibration, fluids, and other contaminants can threaten the reliability of a network.

M12 D-code field attachable insulation displacement connectors (IDC) are available in both shielded and unshielded
housings with male or female connectors. Male eight-pin RJ45 connectors are available in both a crimp termination and
a toolless IDC connector for custom cabling.

Rockwell Automation M12 to RJ45 bulkhead connectors provide an elegant transition for network architecture from an
IP20 setting to an IP67 environment. The adapter can be used to connect remote junction boxes or implement an
On-Machine™ solution with Armor™ I/O products.

The Rockwell Automation Ethernet media portfolio provides connectivity with excellent reliability to maintain network
integrity and reduces costly downtime from troubleshooting.
