TURCK RSCD RSCD 440RD-21M ETHERNET CABLE ASSEMBL U-97958 #298417

Description:

The Turck RSCD RSCD 440RD-21M Industrial Ethernet Extension Cable U-97958 is a double-ended Ethernet cordset featuring two straight M12 D-coded 4-pin male connectors with a 21-meter unshielded CAT5e red TPE cable for reliable Industrial Ethernet communication in factory automation systems. Commonly installed in PLC control panels, industrial Ethernet switches, distributed I/O systems, machine vision equipment, conveyor systems, and automated manufacturing lines requiring durable, color-coded Ethernet connectivity. Maintenance teams, OEM machine builders, and system integrators use this cable for equipment replacement, machine retrofits, industrial network expansion, and control system integration.

Applications:

The Turck RSCD RSCD 440RD-21M is widely used in Industrial Ethernet, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, robotic work cells, packaging machinery, conveyor automation, process automation, machine vision systems, and distributed I/O networks where a rugged M12 D-coded male-to-male Ethernet cable provides dependable communication between PLCs, industrial switches, HMIs, controllers, and Ethernet-enabled field devices. The red TPE jacket provides easy visual identification for dedicated Ethernet circuits and machine network segmentation.
