WHY CABLE JACKET CRIMPING?
Eliminates cable rotation (torsion proof)
Best EMI/RFI performance through 360˚
shield termination
IP67 sealing
Tamper free (vandalism)
Faster Field Assembly time
SECURE DATA TRANSMISSION: EMI/RFI
• Best EMI/EMC/RFI performance due to 360˚ crimped cable braid
• Stable electrical connection between cable braid and crimp flange keeps 360˚ cable intact throughout the tip of the
connector
• Crimp Flange protects the conductors: Reduce risk of breakage

M12 Rail Features and Benefits
Field Installable Connector Series
SECURE DATA TRANSMISSION: RUGGED DESIGN
Cable jacket Crimping eliminates cable rotation, which
potentially leads to breakage of conductors
Further, this rugged connector design provides:
• Vibration proof screw locking due to integral latching
Crimping the cable jacket prevents
cable rotation which is likely to
occur in a cable gland. This can
potentially lead to breakage of the
conductors in the cable. Which are
very difficult to find.
• Defined recommended Torque (1.5Nm) to guarantee
optimal locking
• M12 Hexagon Locking nut
• 2x Silicon O-Rings to achieve IP67
• Tamper proof connector system
IP 67 SEALED (WHEN MATED)
Once the “back nut” is tightened according to the specified torque & the “crimp flange” is crimped, the O-ring retained within
the “back nut” creates an IP67 seal between the crimp flange, cable and “back nut”. This process also creates a secure tamper
proof* attachment to the cable.

M12 Rail 90°
A and D-Coded Connectors
The right angled M12 rail cable connector is field installable and developed for the fault-free data transfer in harsh environments
and for difficult installation conditions. The connector is specifically suited for harsh conditions due to the crimp termination
on the machined single contact and for the crimped cable strain relief. The miniaturised design provides the flexibility for the
angled cable exit to solve tight installation conditions.
