FAQs

What does 'PUR halogen-free' mean for this cable?

PUR (Polyurethane) is a robust jacket material known for its resistance to oils and abrasion. 'Halogen-free' means it does not contain halogens like chlorine or bromine, making it safer in case of fire as it emits less toxic smoke and corrosive gases.

What is the maximum voltage and current this cable can handle?

The cable has a rated voltage of 48V and a rated current of 4A. It is crucial not to exceed these limits to prevent damage to the cable or connected devices.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with its IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings, the cable is protected against dust and various levels of water ingress, making it suitable for many outdoor industrial applications, provided it is protected from direct, prolonged UV exposure unless specified otherwise.

Can I connect this cable to a different type of connector, like M12?

No, this cable is specifically designed with a standard M8 socket. To connect to an M12 connector, you would need an appropriate M8 to M12 adapter.

What does the 'free cable end' mean?

The free cable end is unterminated, meaning the wires are exposed. This allows you to connect them directly to terminal blocks, other cables, or specific electronic components according to your system's wiring requirements.

What is the operating temperature range of this cable?

The operating temperature range for this cable is -40°C to 80°C after assembly without vibration.

Troubleshooting

No signal or power transmission

Verify that the M8 socket is fully engaged with the mating connector. Check the wiring at the free cable end for correct connections and continuity using a multimeter. Ensure the voltage and current ratings of the connected devices do not exceed the cable's specifications.

Intermittent connection or signal loss

Inspect the M8 connector for debris or damage. Ensure the connection is securely tightened. Check the cable for any kinks, cuts, or abrasion that could affect internal wiring. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature range.

Cable shows signs of wear or degradation

Replace the cable if the jacket is significantly damaged, cut, or shows signs of chemical degradation. This ensures continued protection and reliable performance, especially in harsh environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and flexible halogen-free PUR jacket.
  • High IP ratings (IP65, IP67, IP68) for harsh environments.
  • Standard M8 connection for wide compatibility.
  • Tested for electrical integrity for reliable performance.

Cons

  • Limited to 48V, not suitable for high-power applications.
  • Unshielded design may require careful routing in high-EMI environments.
  • Specific M8 connector limits direct connection to other connector types without adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the free cable end to the appropriate control system or power supply, ensuring correct polarity and wiring according to the device's specifications.
  2. Connect the M8 socket to a compatible M8 connector on a sensor or actuator.
  3. Ensure the M8 connection is securely tightened to maintain the IP rating.

Compatibility:

  • Connector Type: Designed for use with standard M8 (3-position) female connectors.
  • Voltage/Current: Suitable for DC circuits with a maximum rating of 48V and 4A. Always verify compatibility with your specific device requirements.
  • Environmental: Excellent compatibility with environments requiring oil, chemical, and abrasion resistance, as well as halogen-free materials.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the cable jacket with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PUR material.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable and connectors for signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Ensure the M8 connection remains clean and free of debris.
  • Temperature: Adhere to the specified operating temperature range (-40 to 80°C) to ensure longevity and performance.
