Turck 572-2M DeviceNet Double-Ended Shielded Cordset

Turck’s RSM RKC 572-2M DeviceNet double-ended shielded cordset is a rugged extension cable that connects a straight 7/8"-16 UN 5-pin Mini Fast male connector to a straight M12 × 1 A-coded 5-pin Eurofast female connector over 2 m of shielded gray PVC cable for reliable DeviceNet and CANopen communication in industrial automation systems. Designed for use in PLC control panels, distributed I/O networks, and machine controls, this double-ended cordset supports equipment replacement, network expansion, and retrofits for devices and fieldbus modules requiring shielded Mini Fast to M12 connectivity. Technical specs include 4 conductors of 22 AWG (0.34 mm²) copper with a shielded 2 STP × 22 AWG construction, a 250 V rating and 4 A current rating, and a cable diameter of 7.24 mm. The cordset features bronze CuSn gold-plated contacts, a TPU blue-gray connector body, and a nickel-plated brass coupling nut, with a shielded fieldbus design that maintains signal integrity across DeviceNet and CANopen links. It carries IP68/IP69K protection when mated (NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P), accommodates -40 °C to +80 °C fixed operation (+5 °C to +80 °C flexible; installation -10 °C to +80 °C), and meets UL 2238, CSA C22.2 No. 182.3, FM Class I Division 2, CE, UKCA, and RoHS certifications. Special features include Shielded Twisted Pair, DeviceNet/CANopen compatibility, UV Resistant, Sunlight Resistant, UL 1685 FT4 Flame Rated, UL 1061, CSA FT4. Commonly used by maintenance teams, OEM machine builders, and system integrators in packaging machinery, conveyors, robotics, and distributed I/O systems to ensure reliable PLC-wide communication between controllers, sensors, and field devices.
