CX 08 I6GM ILME Male modular unit 8p 5 amp crimp gigabit shield bond

Why Choose the Ilme CX08I6GM 8-Pole MIXO Gigabit Male Shielded Modular Insert?

The Ilme CX08I6GM is a specialised 8-pole male shielded modular insert designed for reliable industrial data connections within Ilme MIXO multipole connector systems. Part of the Ilme MIXO Gigabit series, it combines eight male crimp contact positions with shielding and an additional PE connection in a compact single-module format.

Designed for industrial networking, machinery and automation applications, the CX08I6GM is rated at 5 A and 50 V with a 0.8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage. Its shield is electrically connected to the PE circuit of the MIXO frame by dual stainless-steel springs on the insert, helping maintain effective shield bonding through the connector assembly in electrically demanding environments.

The CX08I6GM is supplied without contacts, allowing suitable male crimp contacts to be selected separately for the application. Its polycarbonate construction and zinc-alloy shield, mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles and wide -40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range make it a robust solution for industrial Gigabit connectivity.

Shielded Gigabit Connectivity for Industrial Networks

Industrial data networks frequently operate alongside motors, variable frequency drives, switching devices and other equipment capable of producing electromagnetic interference. Shielded connector systems help maintain signal integrity by continuing the cable shielding through the connection interface and providing an effective bonding path within the equipment installation.

The Ilme CX08I6GM provides eight male contact positions plus shielding and an additional PE connection within a single MIXO module. Unlike versions where the shield is electrically separated from the MIXO frame PE circuit, the CX08I6GM uses dual stainless-steel springs to establish electrical contact between the shield and the PE circuit, making it particularly suitable for installations requiring direct shield bonding.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Ethernet and Gigabit data connections.
• Factory automation and production machinery.
• PLC, HMI and industrial computer networks.
• Machine vision and inspection systems.
• Robotics and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Shielded machine-to-machine communication interfaces.
• Industrial installations requiring shield-to-PE bonding.
• Ilme MIXO modular connector assemblies.
