EIA 973-2018 PDF Download

The EIA 973-2018 standard is designed for M12 x 1 circular hybrid connectors. This specification applies to both the fixed connector (receptacle) and the free cable connector (plug) with non-rewireable characteristics.

The connectors in this standard feature a M12 x 1 threaded coupling interface and a circular interface. They are designed to accommodate four positions for two shielded pairs, specifically for Cat5e data transmission. Furthermore, these connectors also have two and four positions available for power transmission.

One crucial consideration is that once the connectors are mated, they should not be disconnected while carrying a load. This specification ensures that the M12 hybrid connectors comply with these requirements, ensuring their reliability and suitability for applications involving both data and power transmission.
