Product Information

Full details

This Phoenix Contact 1669848 sensor/actuator cable is designed for industrial automation, offering reliable connections for sensors and actuators. Its key benefit is the robust, halogen-free PUR construction ensuring durability in harsh environments. A potential caveat is the fixed 5-meter length, which may not suit all application distances. The cable features a straight M12 female socket on one end and a free cable termination on the other, with a 5-pole configuration suitable for various industrial I/O devices.

FAQs

What is the maximum current and voltage rating for this cable?

The cable is rated for a maximum current of 4A and a voltage of 60V.

Is the M12 connector male or female?

The cable features a straight M12 female socket connector.

What does 'free cable end' mean?

It means the end of the cable is not terminated with a connector, allowing you to wire it directly to terminals or other connection points as needed.

What is the material of the cable jacket?

The cable jacket is made of Polyurethane (PUR), which is halogen-free.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

The PUR jacket offers good environmental resistance, but specific outdoor ratings depend on factors like UV exposure and temperature extremes. For permanent outdoor use, consult Phoenix Contact's specifications for suitability.

What is the temperature range for installation and operation?

The permitted cable outer temperature during assembly/handling is -25°C to 90°C, and after assembly without vibration, it's -40°C to 80°C.

How do I determine if this 5-pole cable is suitable for my device?

This 5-pole, A-coded connection is standard for many industrial sensors and actuators. Check your device's specifications to confirm it requires an M12 female, 5-pin, A-coded connection.

Troubleshooting

No signal from sensor/actuator

Verify the M12 connection is fully seated. Check the wiring at the free cable end for continuity and correct connections. Ensure the control system input is functioning correctly.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect the cable for any physical damage or sharp bends. Ensure the M12 connector and the terminated wires are secure and free from corrosion.

Cable not performing in oily environment

While PUR is resistant, extreme or prolonged exposure to certain aggressive oils may degrade the jacket. Inspect for swelling or softening and replace if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and oil-resistant PUR cable jacket for industrial durability.
  • Standardized M12 connector ensures easy and secure mating.
  • Flexible termination options with the free cable end.
  • Halogen-free material improves safety in industrial environments.
  • Suitable for a broad range of operating temperatures.

Cons

  • Fixed 5-meter cable length may not be optimal for all applications.
  • Unterminated end requires proper wiring and sealing.
  • M12 connector is A-coded, limiting compatibility to specific sensor types.
  • Requires specific tools for terminating the free cable end.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the straight M12 female socket to your sensor or actuator. For the free cable end, strip the individual wires according to your control system's requirements and connect them securely to the appropriate terminals. Ensure proper strain relief is applied.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with M12 A-coded male connectors typically found on industrial sensors and actuators requiring a 5-pin connection. The free end can be wired to any compatible control system input/output terminal block or junction box.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically inspect the cable for any signs of physical damage, such as cuts or abrasions. Clean the cable jacket with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the PUR material. Ensure the M12 connection is clean and free from debris before mating.
