Why Choose the Ilme CWKA5J2M8 RJ45 Patch Cord?

The Ilme CWKA5J2M8 is a robust 5 m industrial RJ45 patch cord designed for dependable Ethernet and data connections in machinery, automation and industrial control systems. Part of the Ilme CWK patch cord range, it combines RJ45 connectivity with rugged metal connector housings for applications where conventional office-style network leads may not provide sufficient mechanical protection.

The cable is supplied as a complete ready-to-use assembly with male RJ45 connector inserts at both ends. Its metal housings protect the connection hardware and make the assembly particularly suitable for machine building, factory automation and other industrial installations requiring secure data connectivity.

With an overall cable length of 5 m, eight data contacts and 1:1 pin assignment, the CWKA5J2M8 provides a practical point-to-point Ethernet connection between compatible Ilme industrial data interfaces and equipment. The metal-housed CWKA construction distinguishes it from the insulating-enclosure CWK versions of the same patch cord family.

Key Advantages

  • Complete 5 m industrial RJ45 patch cord ready for installation.
  • Male RJ45 connectors at both ends for direct equipment-to-equipment data connections.
  • Rugged metal connector housings provide improved mechanical protection.
  • Eight data contacts support standard RJ45 Ethernet connectivity.
  • 1:1 pin assignment for straightforward network connection.
  • Designed for demanding industrial automation, machinery and control applications.

Key Features

  • Ilme CWK industrial patch cord series.
  • 5 m cable length.
  • 2 × male RJ45 connectors.
  • 8P8C / eight-data-contact connectivity.
  • Metal connector enclosures at both cable ends.
  • 1:1 wiring configuration.
  • Green cable sheath.
  • Connector latch protection for industrial use.
  • Designed for compatible Ilme RJ45 industrial data connector systems.

Reliable Industrial Ethernet Connectivity

Industrial Ethernet connections are frequently exposed to vibration, accidental impact and repeated handling that can make standard commercial patch leads unsuitable. The Ilme CWKA5J2M8 addresses these requirements by enclosing its RJ45 termination hardware within robust metal housings while retaining familiar eight-contact RJ45 data connectivity.

Its factory-assembled 5 m cable and 1:1 wiring arrangement simplify installation between compatible industrial network interfaces. This makes the patch cord well suited to machine builders and automation engineers who require reliable, serviceable Ethernet links within industrial equipment and production environments.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial Ethernet networks.
  • Factory automation equipment.
  • PLC and machine control systems.
  • Industrial machinery and production lines.
  • Robot and motion-control installations.
  • Control cabinets and distributed automation systems.
  • Machine-to-machine data connections.
