M12 A-Coded 8-Pin Male to RJ45 Cable is a cable assembly in the Industrial Ethernet range. It is intended for GigE Vision, automation networks and edge devices, with the mechanical format selected around mating interface, installation space, cable routing and service access.
This page identifies the catalog construction and purchasing variables without treating a family-level value as a guaranteed part-number rating. The final contact layout, keying, pin assignment, cable and environmental performance must be released on the LMConn approved drawing.

Why engineers specify this construction
The cable assembly form helps place the connection where cable bend radius, panel thickness, connector access and maintenance procedure are already defined. Within the Industrial Ethernet platform, engineers can keep a consistent mating concept while choosing the body style that suits the enclosure or harness.
For a repeatable build, provide the mating part, required 8 contacts / pins, pin map, electrical load, cable outside diameter, shielding, required ingress protection and expected quantity. LMConn can then review the connector, termination and cable as one controlled assembly.
Selection and integration notes
- Confirm that the plug or receptacle side matches the installed mating connector.
- Confirm contact count, insert orientation, coding and pin numbering before wiring release.
- Check rear clearance, panel cutout, cable bend radius and tool access.
- Specify cable jacket, conductor size, shielding, flex duty and overall length.
- Approve the dimensional drawing and wiring table before production.
Typical applications
This construction is a practical starting point for GigE Vision, automation networks and edge devices. It may also be evaluated for test fixtures, control cabinets, sensor interfaces, imaging systems and custom equipment where a defined mechanical interface and controlled cable build are required.

Frequently asked questions
Can the contact count or cable be customized?
Yes, where the selected shell and insert support it. Send the mating part, pin count, pin map, cable type and operating environment for review.
Is the displayed product visual an exact production drawing?
No. The clean visual is a representative LMConn construction illustration. Production dimensions and connector details are controlled by the approved drawing.
