Why Choose the ILME CX08D5M2 Male MIXO Megabit Modular Insert?
The ILME CX08D5M2 is a fully shielded 8-pole male modular data insert with crimp connections, designed for reliable industrial Ethernet and high-speed data transmission within the ILME MIXO modular connector system. As part of the specialised ILME MIXO Megabit series, it combines eight electrical contacts with shielding and two cable entries in a compact single-module format.
Designed for Category 5e, Class D data transmission, the CX08D5M2 supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and data rates up to 100 Mbit/s. The double cable-entry configuration is particularly suited to two 2-pair shielded data cables, while the fully shielded construction helps protect data signals against electromagnetic interference in electrically demanding industrial environments.
The CX08D5M2 is rated at 10 A and 50 V, with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 0.8 kV. It uses separately ordered ILME CD series crimp contacts for conductor sizes from 0.14–2.5 mm² (AWG 26–14), providing a robust and serviceable connection solution for industrial Ethernet, machinery and automation networks.
