FAQs

What does 'PUR' jacket material mean?

PUR stands for Polyurethane. This material is known for its excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, abrasion, and UV radiation, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. It is also halogen-free, which is a safety requirement in many applications.

What is an A-coded M12 connector?

A-coding is a standard for M12 connectors typically used for signal applications. It ensures correct mating between sensors, actuators, and connectors, preventing incorrect connections. For a 5-pin connector, the pinout is standard for analog signals or basic digital signals.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

While the PUR jacket offers good resistance to environmental factors like UV and moisture, its suitability for direct, long-term outdoor exposure depends on the specific installation and environmental conditions. Consult the manufacturer's detailed specifications for outdoor rating if critical.

How do I determine the pinout for the free cable end?

The cable is part of the SAC-5P- series, indicating a 5-position connector. For standard A-coded 5-pin M12 connectors, the pinout is typically Pin 1=1, Pin 2=2, Pin 3=3, Pin 4=4, and Pin 5=5. Always refer to the specific sensor or actuator documentation for the correct wiring. You can also find pinout diagrams for A-coded M12 connectors online.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this cable is explicitly described as unshielded. It is suitable for applications where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not a significant concern.

What is the operating temperature range?

The cable can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +80 °C.

What is the cross-sectional area of the wires?

The cable has a cross-sectional area of 0.34 mm², which corresponds to an American Wire Gauge (AWG) of 22.

Troubleshooting

No signal from sensor

Verify the M12 connection is securely fastened. Check that the wiring on the free cable end is correct and all connections are sound. Ensure the sensor itself is functioning by testing it with a known good cable or directly.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect the cable for any physical damage or tight bends. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive flexing or stress. Verify that the M12 connector is clean and free from contaminants. Check for potential electromagnetic interference if used in a highly noisy environment.

M12 connector won't seat properly

Ensure the connector is correctly aligned and not cross-threaded. Check for debris or damage on the M12 socket or the cable's receptacle. The connector is A-coded, so confirm correct orientation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and oil-resistant Polyurethane (PUR) jacket
  • Halogen-free material for enhanced safety
  • Standardized M12 connection for broad compatibility
  • Reliable, factory-tested for electrical integrity
  • Suitable for harsh industrial environments

Cons

  • Fixed 1.5m cable length may not suit all applications
  • Unshielded design can be susceptible to EMI in certain environments
  • Free cable end requires proper termination
  • Limited to 5-pin configurations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the M12 receptacle end to a compatible M12 socket on a sensor or actuator. The free cable end requires proper wiring and termination according to your system's requirements. Ensure the wire colors are correctly matched to the corresponding terminals.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for use with M12, 5-pin, A-coded sensor and actuator systems. Ensure your connected devices utilize this standard. It is compatible with general industrial automation protocols that use M12 connectors.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or connector wear. Clean the cable with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the PUR jacket. Ensure connections are kept clean and free from debris.
