Product Information

Full details

This Phoenix Contact 1683002 sensor/actuator cable is designed for industrial automation and harsh environments, offering a reliable 10-meter connection between sensors/actuators and control systems. Its key benefit is the durable, halogen-free PUR jacket that withstands demanding conditions. A potential caveat is its specific M12 A-coded connector, which may limit compatibility with non-standard connections.

FAQs

What does "PUR halogen-free" mean?

PUR stands for Polyurethane, a durable plastic. "Halogen-free" means the cable jacket does not contain halogens (like chlorine or bromine), which is beneficial for safety as it produces less toxic smoke when burned.

What is the significance of the M12 A-coding?

M12 is a standard circular connector size. 'A-coding' specifies the pin configuration and is commonly used for standard sensor and actuator signals. It ensures that only compatible devices can be connected, preventing incorrect wiring.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

Yes, the cable has IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings, indicating it is protected against dust and water immersion, making it suitable for many outdoor applications when properly terminated and connected.

What is the operating temperature range for this cable?

The cable is rated for operation between -40°C and 80°C. It can withstand higher temperatures, up to 90°C, during assembly and handling, but not for continuous operation.

How do I terminate the free cable end?

The free cable end requires manual termination. You will need to strip the individual conductor insulation and connect them to the appropriate terminals in your junction box or control system, following standard electrical wiring practices.

Is this cable shielded?

No, this specific model (SAC4P10,0-PUR/M12FS) is listed as unshielded. For applications with high electromagnetic interference, a shielded version might be required.

What is the cross-sectional area of the conductors?

The cross-sectional area of the conductors is 0.34 mm².

Troubleshooting

M12 connector not seating properly

Ensure the M12 socket and mating connector are clean and free of debris. Verify that the A-coding matches on both connectors. Do not force the connection; it should engage smoothly.

Signal loss or intermittent connection

Check the connections at both the M12 end and the terminated free end for security. Inspect the cable for visible damage. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radius or pulling forces.

Cable jacket damage

If minor damage occurs, assess if it compromises the internal conductors or IP rating. For significant damage, the cable should be replaced to prevent electrical faults or environmental ingress.

Incorrect voltage/current reading

Verify that the connected device and power supply are within the cable's rated limits (250V, 4A). Ensure all connections are made correctly to prevent resistance issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction for industrial environments.
  • Halogen-free PUR jacket offers excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.
  • Standard M12 A-coded connector ensures broad compatibility with compatible devices.
  • 10-meter length provides flexibility in installation.
  • Tested for reliable performance.

Cons

  • Specific M12 A-coding may not be compatible with all connector types.
  • Free cable end requires proper termination by the user.
  • Unshielded cable may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference in highly sensitive applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Connections: Connect the M12 socket to the corresponding sensor or actuator port. Ensure a secure, hand-tightened connection.
  2. Terminate Free End: Carefully strip the insulation from the free cable end conductors. Connect each conductor to the appropriate terminal or junction box according to your system's wiring diagram. Ensure proper grounding.

Compatibility:

  • Connector Type: This cable features a standard 4-position, A-coded straight female M12 connector. It is compatible with M12 male connectors of the same coding and pinout.
  • Voltage & Current: Rated for up to 250V and 4A, suitable for most standard sensor and actuator signals.
  • Environmental Ratings: IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings ensure protection against dust and water ingress when properly connected.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the cable jacket with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the PUR material.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or degradation of the jacket. Check the M12 connector for corrosion or debris.
  • Temperature: Adhere to the operating temperature range of -40°C to 80°C for sustained performance and longevity. Avoid exceeding the 90°C limit during handling.
