FAQs

What does 'A-coded' mean for an M12 connector?

A-coding is the standard for M12 connectors used in industrial automation for sensors and actuators. It defines the mechanical keying and pinout, ensuring that the correct type of connector is mated.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with its IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings, the cable is designed to withstand dust and water exposure, making it suitable for many outdoor applications when properly terminated and protected.

What is PUR material and why is it beneficial?

PUR stands for Polyurethane. It's a durable, flexible, and abrasion-resistant material that is also halogen-free. This makes it ideal for industrial environments, offering good resistance to oils and chemicals, and enhanced safety.

Can I cut the cable to a different length?

While the cable can be cut, the free end must be properly terminated and protected to maintain its IP rating and signal integrity. Modifying the length may affect its suitability for certain high-reliability applications.

What is the voltage rating of this cable?

The voltage rating for this sensor/actuator cable is 30V.

How do I clean the cable?

Clean the cable using a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals that could damage the PUR jacket.

What does '100% electrically tested' mean?

It means that each cable undergoes electrical testing during manufacturing to ensure that all connections are made correctly and there are no short circuits or open circuits, guaranteeing reliable performance from the start.

Troubleshooting

No signal transmission

Verify that the M12 connector is fully seated and locked. Check the wiring on the free cable end for secure connections and correct pinout. Ensure the connected devices are powered and functioning correctly. Test the cable continuity using a multimeter if possible.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect the cable for any physical damage, kinks, or wear, especially near the connectors. Ensure the M12 connector is clean and free of debris. Confirm that the operating temperature is within the specified range (-40°C to 80°C).

Connector not mating properly

Ensure you are using a compatible M12 receptacle (8-pin, A-coded). Check the M12 connector and receptacle for any bent pins or obstructions. Do not force the connection; align carefully before tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable construction suitable for industrial environments.
  • Halogen-free PUR cable offers enhanced safety and flexibility.
  • High IP ratings ensure protection against dust and water ingress.
  • Wide operating temperature range for reliable use in various conditions.
  • Standard M12 connector ensures broad compatibility with automation equipment.
  • Pre-fabricated design allows for quick and easy installation.

Cons

  • Fixed 1.5m cable length may not suit all applications.
  • Requires a compatible M12 receptacle on the device or system.
  • Unterminated end requires appropriate connection methods.
  • Only one unit supplied per package, may require purchasing multiples.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The cable features a straight M12, A-coded male connector on one end and a free cable end on the other. Connect the M12 end to a compatible M12 female receptacle on your sensor or actuator. The free cable end requires termination according to your system's wiring requirements, often involving screw terminals or specialized connectors. Ensure the free end is securely terminated and protected from environmental factors.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for use with standard M12, 8-pin, A-coded receptacles. Verify that your connected devices (sensors, actuators, controllers) utilize this specific connector type and pinout. The cable's 30V voltage rating should be considered when integrating it into your system.

Care: Maintain the cable's integrity by avoiding sharp bends, excessive pulling, or exposure to harsh chemicals not resistant to PUR. Clean the cable jacket with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Inspect regularly for any signs of physical damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
