The PROFIBUS M12 plug system allows installation in IP65 protection class and so is suitable for mounting without a control cabinet.

 

Devices often have two connections for M12, allowing incoming and outgoing cables to be connected separately. However, this makes it impossible to connect a device without breaking the cable. Therefore, the use of a special T-piece is recommended. In this case, we just have one socket on the device.

Since M12 plugs are often difficult to mount in the field, cables are also available with pre-assembled connections.
