About the M12 5-pin cable
The DB9-M12 adapter cable is suited for use in most maritime vessels and in many industrial automation applications. The cable is compatible with our CANedge CAN loggers and CANsub CAN interfaces - providing access to the CAN bus, as well as input power/ground for the device.
Need to use this with a CANsub.4/CANmod.router? See our DB25-4xDB9 adapter cable.

Below are example use cases where the DB9-M12 adapter is useful:
Marine telematics
Need to log NMEA 2000 data from a maritime vessel?
In marine telematics applications you may need to collect NMEA 2000 data to an SD card or to your own server. Here, the CANedge can be deployed easily with the M12-DB9 adapter cable, which matches most boat/ship CAN bus connectors. Simply connect the device to power it and start logging data. See also our marine telematics intro.
CANopen diagnostics via blackbox data logger
Need to diagnose rare machine errors?
If you're trying to diagnose a rare/intermittent error in your machinery, it can be useful to deploy a CANedge1 with cyclic logging to record raw CAN bus data to an SD card. Here, the M12-DB9 adapter can be useful as it is directly compatible with several CANopen industrial machinery applications. See also our CANopen data logger intro or our predictive maintenance guide.
Test lab with multiple CAN buses
Need to monitor multiple CANopen buses in a test lab from any PC on the network?
Connect each CANsub in your test lab to your CAN application via the M12-DB9 adapter cable, and to your router via Ethernet. Any engineer on the local network can now access the device using webCAN by entering its unique URL in their browser - no software installation needed. This makes it easy to set up multiple CANsub devices in a lab, each with a bookmarked URL. Add our PoE adapter to power each CANsub from the same Ethernet cable - keeping the lab wiring clean.
The M12-DB9 adapter fits several maritime and industrial CAN bus applications, but you should always verify what connector is used in your specific application up-front, including whether the pin-out is compatible.
