Somewhat OT I have a job where I need some panel accessories. I need some help sourcing them. I did Google searches but didn't find a 1 stop shop. I hope you guys have one.
I need 1 M12 Ethernet IP decode female panel mount to rj45.
1 DB9 passthru panel mount
1 M12 male passthru panel mount.

Details below
I need to pull a cable out of an existing device and plug in into a MicroLogix 1100. The cable is a M12 IP67 rated 4 wire EIP. The PLC is in an enclosure so I need to get the cable into the enclosure then make it a RJ45.
I also need a to take out a PM02 out of the panel to this device.
A m 12 t straight through male female female. Would work.
I talked to turck but the didn't have everything On the shelf. The don't have a DB9 at all.
 
Sorry I forgot to mention I call L-com, B&B, and Newark. Most of them has some pieces but nobody had everything I wanted. If I don't mind 12~14 weeks I can have it all from any of them.
 
Does it need to meet a certain spec? Can the M12 to RJ45 be converted first, then plugged into an RJ45 bulkhead? Is it bad if you have to use a couple different sources and piece it together?

A user a few days ago posted a link to a Mencom catalog page.

So the device in question has an M12 connector on it's ethernet port, and you need to connect it to a ML1100?

You could use a M12 to RJ45 cable like the ones Efector uses on their cameras.

If Mencom doesn't sell M12 bulkheads for this system (didn't see one) then you could just take their existing bulkhead with the DB9 or Mini-8 for the PM02, an RJ45 for the M12toEthernet cable, and put an M12 bulkhead into it from say... Balluff/Turck or someone.
 
Guys thanks for the help.
I just got an update. These have to be from brand X. So that just made the lead times loooooooong per customer spec. So I am going to order them from their supplier. Nothing I can do. Not worth the fight.
