What are patchcords?

Patchcords are pre-assembled Ethernet cables with connectors at both ends – usually RJ45 or M12. They are used to connect network components such as switches, routers or controllers. In industrial applications, patch cords must be particularly robust, EMC-protected and often halogen-free to meet the high requirements.

What are cordsets?

Cordsets are also pre-assembled cables but are usually intended for specific industrial applications. They consist of a cable and connectors assembled in accordance with the relevant standards – e.g. M8 or M12 – and are ideal for sensors, actuators or Ethernet communication in harsh environments. Cordsets are vibration-resistant, easy to install and available in various codings.

What are the advantages of patch cords and cordsets?

Patchcords and cordsets impress with their ease of use and high reliability in demanding applications. Patchcords provide a fast and secure connection between network components and are ideal for industrial environments due to their robustness and EMC protection. Cordsets are specially designed for industrial use and are characterised by their vibration resistance, ease of installation and suitability for sensors and actuators.
