Product Information

Full details

The Phoenix Contact 1500907 Sensor/Actuator Cable is designed for industrial automation professionals needing reliable signal transmission between sensors and actuators in demanding environments. Its key benefit is robust connectivity ensured by 5-position M12 connectors and a shielded, durable PUR sheath. A potential caveat is its fixed 1.5m length, which may require extensions for longer runs. This cable offers 360° shielding for interference-free operation and is built to withstand harsh conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary application for this cable?

This cable is primarily used in industrial automation for reliable signal transmission between sensors (e.g., proximity, photoelectric) and actuators (e.g., valves, motors) and control systems.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with its PUR jacket and IP65 rating, it is designed for harsh industrial environments, which often include exposure to moisture, dust, and chemicals, making it suitable for many outdoor applications where such conditions are present.

What does 'A-coded' mean for M12 connectors?

A-coding is the standard for M12 connectors used in industrial sensing and automation. It typically signifies a DC voltage and signal application and ensures correct mating with similarly coded connectors.

Can I extend the 1.5m cable length?

While this cable has a fixed 1.5m length, you can extend the connection using a compatible M12 extension cable or a junction box with additional M12 ports. Avoid splicing cables, as this can compromise integrity and protection.

What is the maximum current and voltage rating?

The cable has a rated current of 4 A and a rated voltage of 48 V.

How does the shielding benefit the signal?

The 360° shielding helps to protect the transmitted signal from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces electromagnetic emissions from the cable itself, ensuring cleaner and more reliable data transfer, especially in noisy industrial environments.

Is the PUR jacket resistant to chemicals?

Yes, the Polyurethane (PUR) jacket is known for its excellent resistance to oils, greases, coolants, and many industrial chemicals, making it suitable for demanding manufacturing settings.

Troubleshooting

No signal transmission

Verify that both M12 connectors are securely seated and hand-tightened. Check that the connected sensor/actuator and control system are powered and functioning correctly. Ensure the cable is rated for the specific signal type and voltage being used. Test continuity of individual pins if possible.

Intermittent signal loss or noise

Confirm that the 360° shielding is properly connected and grounded at the control system end. Inspect the cable for any damage or signs of wear. Ensure the cable is routed away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference if possible.

Connector will not engage or seal properly

Check for any debris or damage inside the M12 connector ports. Ensure you are using the correct A-coded M12 connector. Do not force the connection; if it does not mate smoothly, inspect for alignment issues or obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable signal transmission due to 360° shielding.
  • Durable and flexible PUR cable jacket resistant to industrial chemicals and abrasion.
  • High degree of protection (IP65) for use in demanding environments.
  • Easy and quick installation with pre-assembled M12 connectors.
  • Wide operating temperature range for versatility.

Cons

  • Fixed 1.5m length may not suit all applications without extension.
  • Specific M12 A-coded connection might limit compatibility with non-standard systems.
  • Shielding requires proper grounding for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Phoenix Contact 1500907 is a pre-assembled cable. Simply connect the straight M12 plug to a compatible sensor or actuator and the straight M12 socket to a corresponding M12 port on a junction box or control system. Ensure the M12 connectors are securely hand-tightened to achieve the rated IP65 protection.

Compatibility: This cable features standard M12 connectors with A-coding, which is common for sensor and actuator signals. It is compatible with other M12 A-coded devices. The 5-pole configuration is suitable for signals, power, and ground. It is designed to work within specified voltage (48 V) and current (4 A) ratings.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid kinking or tightly bending the cable, especially in extreme temperatures.
  • Regularly inspect the connectors and cable sheath for any signs of physical damage, such as cuts or abrasion.
  • Clean the cable and connectors with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure connectors are clean and free of debris before mating to prevent damage and ensure a good seal.
