Product Information
Full details
This Telemecanique Sensors M12 cable is designed for industrial automation, connecting sensors and actuators to control systems. Its key benefit is robust, reliable connectivity in demanding environments, with a caveat of a fixed cable length that may require careful planning. Key features include a straight female M12 connector, an unterminated end for flexible wiring, a 2-meter PVC cable, 5 poles, and IP65/IP67 protection.

FAQs
What is the maximum voltage and current rating for this cable?
This cable is rated for a maximum of 60V AC and 75V DC, with a current carrying capacity of 3A.
What does IP65/IP67 rating mean?
IP65 indicates protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. IP67 indicates protection against temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) and dust ingress.
Can I cut the cable to a shorter length?
Yes, you can cut the cable to a shorter length. However, you will need to properly terminate the cut end to maintain any required protection or functionality.
What type of wire termination is needed at the unterminated end?
The specific termination depends on your control system. Typically, this involves stripping the individual wires and connecting them to screw terminals, push-in connectors, or soldering, depending on the receiving equipment.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
With its IP67 rating and PVC jacket, this cable is designed for use in harsh environments, including many outdoor applications, provided connections are properly sealed.
How do I ensure a secure connection with the M12 connector?
The M12 connector typically uses a threaded coupling nut. Ensure this nut is tightened securely (finger-tight is often sufficient, or as specified by the mating connector manufacturer) to achieve the rated ingress protection.
Troubleshooting
No signal received from sensor
Verify that the M12 connector is fully seated and locked. Check the wiring at the unterminated end for secure connections and correct pinout. Ensure the sensor and control system are powered and within operating voltage/current limits.
Intermittent signal or errors
Inspect the cable for physical damage. Ensure the connector seals are intact. Vibration can loosen connections; re-secure connections at both ends. Verify that operating temperatures are within the specified range.
Water ingress detected
The cable may be damaged or connections may not be fully sealed. Disconnect power, inspect the cable for breaches, and ensure the M12 connector is properly mated. Replace the cable if damage is found.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High Ingress Protection (IP65/IP67) for durability in harsh environments.
- Standardized M12 connector ensures wide compatibility.
- Unterminated end offers flexibility in wiring and installation.
- Durable PVC jacket resists common industrial contaminants.
- Suitable for a broad operating temperature range.
Cons
- Fixed 2-meter cable length may not suit all applications.
- Unterminated end requires proper termination by the user.
- Lower voltage rating (60V AC / 75V DC) limits use in high-power applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the pinout required for your specific sensor and control system.
- Carefully strip the PVC jacket and insulation from the unterminated end to expose the 5 individual wires.
- Connect each wire to the corresponding terminal on your control device, ensuring proper polarity and secure connections.
- Attach the M12 female connector to the male connector on your sensor.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with M12 male connectors.
- Suitable for sensors and actuators operating at up to 60V AC or 75V DC and drawing up to 3A.
- Requires mating connectors with a compatible pinout (5-way).
Care:
- Clean the cable and connectors with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the PVC jacket or connector seals.
- Ensure connectors are securely fastened to maintain IP rating.
- Inspect the cable periodically for any signs of damage, such as cuts or abrasions, especially at the unterminated end.
