Supplier's note

Technical Breakthroughs:
- IP67 Rating: 20% higher dust/water resistance than standard IP65 cables, enabling deployment in extreme environments.
- M12 5-pin Connectors: Industry-leading vibration resistance (10G acceleration) for stable connections in machinery or vehicles.
- Coiled Design: 30% more flexible than straight cables, reducing strain and extending lifecycle.
Version Selection Guidance:
- Base Model: Ideal for standard industrial or marine networks where basic temperature ranges and fixed lengths suffice.
- Advanced Model: Choose for applications requiring EMI shielding (e.g., near heavy machinery) or longer custom lengths.
- Pro Model: Best for hazardous environments (e.g., oil rigs, mining) needing ATEX certification and extreme temperature resilience.

With the Pro Model’s ATEX certification and triple-shielded design, you can safely deploy in explosive atmospheres while maintaining signal integrity. Pair its IP67 rating with the coiled structure to ensure durability and ease of installation in confined spaces.
