1. Introduction
This chapter will cover:
- Matching cables for the M12-4 pin and the ethernet pin.
2. Overview M12 4-pin connector
Use the M12 4-pin connector. Remove the black protection cap.

The M12 4-pin connector:
| M12 -4 pin | Ethernet pin |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 3 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 4 | 6 |
Use of an industry-standard pin-out for Ethernet. The table above shows how to wire from an M12 to the RJ45 Ethernet plug. This is done via VPInstruments cable.
3. Cabling details
| Use the M12 to RJ45 Ethernet cable (can be a different color) |  |
When creating your own cable: make sure that shielded twisted pair (STP) is used
Max length for all Ethernet cables: 150 meters.
4. Wiring scheme
 | When wiring your Ethernet be aware that there should also be a power supply. Otherwise, Ethernet will not work. |
Therefore connect both the power supply and the Ethernet cable.
