category 5e to fully shielded category 7A. (…) A-coded M12 connectors used primarily for sensors and actuators can support 1 Gbit/s
Ethernet, B-coded connectors are for Profibus applications, and C-coded connectors are used for AC power. For industrial Ethernet, 4-pin D-coded can support 100 Mbit/s Ethernet, but X-coded connectors with 8-pin counts and superior shielding are gaining ground as they can support higher-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbit/s when used with category 6A or higher cabling. And when it comes to PoE, the 4-pin M12 can support Type 1 PoE, while the 8-pin M12 is required for Type 2 and above. (…) Like the M12, M8 connectors are also coded with the 4-pin D-coded connectors supporting 100 Mbit/s and Type 1 PoE and the 8-pin version supporting up to 10 Gbit/s and Type 2 and above PoE. While RJ-45 connectors are the de facto interface for Ethernet, and they are available in ruggedized versions for harsher environments, M12 and M8 locking connectors are far more durable and better designed to handle the ongoing vibration of industrial equipment since they are locked into place.

When it comes to industrial
Ethernet, M12 and M8 connectors are by far the most popular and universally adopted for industrial control systems. They come in a variety of pin counts with the 4- or 8-pin varieties required for Ethernet and they can be used with twisted-pair category cable, from
