Product Information

Full details

This Phoenix Contact 1669877 sensor-actuator patch cord is designed for industrial automation and control applications, offering a reliable connection between sensors and actuators. Its key benefit is the durable, halogen-free Polyurethane (PUR) jacket, ensuring resilience in harsh environments. A potential consideration is that one end is a free cable, requiring custom termination.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the cross-sectional area of the conductors?

The conductors have a cross-sectional area of 0.34 mm², which corresponds to 22 AWG.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this is an unshielded sensor-actuator cable.

What is the jacket material?

The jacket material is Polyurethane (PUR), which is halogen-free and known for its robust resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion.

Can I use this cable in extreme temperatures?

Yes, the cable is designed to operate within a wide temperature range of -40 to 80 °C.

What does 'free cable end' mean?

It means one end of the cable is not terminated with a connector. This allows you to attach a custom connector or wire it directly into a terminal block or device.

What type of connector is on one end?

One end features a 5-pin, A-coded M12 female (socket) connector.

Where is this cable manufactured?

This cable is manufactured in Poland.

Troubleshooting

No signal from sensor

Verify the M12 connection is secure. Check the wiring at the free end for proper connections and continuity using a multimeter. Ensure the sensor and PLC are powered and configured correctly.

Intermittent signal or performance issues

Inspect the cable for physical damage, kinks, or cuts. Ensure the cable is not routed too close to high-power electrical sources that could cause interference, especially given its unshielded nature. Confirm operating temperature is within limits.

M12 connector is difficult to mate/unmate

Check the M12 connector for dirt or debris. Ensure the locking mechanism (if present on the mating part) is functioning correctly. Do not force the connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and resistant PUR jacket for harsh environments.
  • Standard M12 connector ensures broad compatibility with sensors and actuators.
  • Flexible free end allows for custom connection and integration.
  • 5-meter length offers good reach for typical industrial setups.
  • Wide operating temperature range for reliable performance.

Cons

  • Requires user to terminate the free end, adding a step to setup.
  • Unshielded design may not be suitable for environments with high EMI.
  • Limited to 5-pin M12 connections, may not fit all sensor types.
  • Black-gray color might not match all aesthetic requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The free end of the cable requires proper termination. This typically involves stripping the PUR jacket and individual conductor insulation to connect them to the appropriate terminals on your control system, PLC, or junction box. Ensure correct wire pairing according to the sensor or actuator's pinout diagram.

Compatibility: The M12 connector is a standard for industrial automation. This 5-pin, A-coded socket is compatible with 5-pin M12 plugs found on many sensors and actuators. The 0.34 mm² (22 AWG) conductors are suitable for standard signal voltages and currents within the M12 specification.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity, avoid exposing the cable to sharp objects, excessive UV light, or chemicals not listed as compatible with PUR. Clean the cable with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure connections are secure and protected from moisture and dust ingress, especially at the terminated free end.
