August 13, 2025 – AutomationDirect has added A-coded M8 and M12 sensor and signal cables to facilitate accurate data transmission between sensors and control systems. New D-coded M12 Cat5e and X-coded M12 Cat6a Ethernet connection data cables support the high-speed Ethernet communication essential for network reliability and performance.
Additional Murrelektronik A-coded 3-pin M8 and 5-pin M12 field wireable connectors are now available to carry out quick, tool-free cable terminations in the field. New T- and Y-couplers enable efficient signal or power branching, simplifying cable routing and system expansion, and the new industrial Cat6a Ethernet bulkhead connectors maintain the integrity of network performance (supporting speeds up to 10 Gbps) while allowing network cables to pass through protective barriers.
