This Phoenix Contact 1681677 sensor/actuator cable is designed for industrial automation applications, offering a reliable 3-meter connection between sensors/actuators and control systems. Its primary benefit is its durable polyurethane (PUR) sheath, providing resistance to oils and chemicals common in industrial environments. A potential caveat is its fixed 3-meter length, which may not suit all installation requirements. Key features include a straight M8 male connector, 3-position wiring, a robust 4A/60V rating, and a flexible PUR cable suitable for demanding conditions.

While the M8 connector itself typically offers good protection when properly mated, the specific IP rating of the cable assembly depends on the mating connector. When securely connected to a compatible IP-rated receptacle, it generally provides a high level of protection against dust and water ingress.
This cable is designed for standard sensor and actuator signals (4A/60V). It is not typically rated or optimized for high-speed digital data transmission protocols like Ethernet, which require different cable specifications.
Unterminated means the cable end has exposed conductors (wires) that need to be manually connected to terminals, a junction box, or another connector, allowing for custom wiring configurations.
Polyurethane (PUR) sheathing is generally more resistant to oils, chemicals, abrasion, and UV light than PVC, making it more durable and suitable for demanding industrial environments.
The product description indicates a 3-position connector. For standard M8 sensor/actuator applications, Pin 1 is typically V+ (power), Pin 3 is GND (ground), and Pin 4 is Signal (or vice versa for actuators). Always consult the specific documentation for your sensor or actuator to confirm the exact pinout.
The cable is rated for operation in temperatures from -25°C to 90°C.
No, this specific model (1681677) is described as unshielded. For environments with significant electromagnetic interference (EMI), a shielded version might be necessary.
Verify the M8 connector is fully seated. Check the wiring at the unterminated end for loose connections or incorrect polarity. Ensure the rated voltage and current are within limits for the connected device.
Inspect the cable for physical damage. Ensure the M8 connector is securely fastened. Check for electromagnetic interference in the environment; consider shielded cables if necessary.
Ensure the M8 receptacle is clean and free of debris. Do not force the connection; verify alignment of pins and sockets. The M8 connector is designed for hand-tightening.
