Product Information

Full details

This Phoenix Contact Sensor-Actuator Patch Cord (MPN: 1694075) is designed for industrial automation, providing a robust 5-meter M12 to M12 connection for sensors and actuators. It offers reliable data and power transmission in demanding environments, with a key benefit being its halogen-free, durable PUR cable sheath. A potential consideration is its fixed 5-meter length, which may not suit all installation requirements.

FAQs

What is the primary application for this cable?

This cable is primarily used for connecting industrial sensors and actuators to control systems in automation environments, ensuring reliable data and power transfer.

What does 'halogen-free' mean for this cable?

Halogen-free means the cable's insulation and sheath material do not contain halogens (like chlorine or bromine). This is a safety feature, as halogen-free materials produce less toxic smoke and fewer corrosive gases during a fire.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

While the PUR sheath offers good resistance to environmental factors, its suitability for direct outdoor exposure depends on specific conditions like UV radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations. Consult the full datasheet for precise environmental ratings. It is best suited for protected industrial environments.

What is the current and voltage rating?

The cable is rated for a maximum current of 4A and a maximum voltage of 250V.

How do I connect the M12 connectors?

Align the keyway on the male connector with the slot on the female connector and hand-tighten the coupling nut until secure. Do not overtighten.

What is the maximum temperature the cable can withstand?

The permitted cable outer temperature after assembly (without vibration) is -40°C to 80°C. During assembly and handling, the range is -5°C to 80°C.

Is this cable shielded?

The product description does not specify shielding. For applications requiring high EMI immunity, verify shielding specifications.

Troubleshooting

No signal or power transmission.

Verify that both M12 connectors are fully seated and securely tightened. Check that the pin assignments on both ends are correctly matched and that the mating equipment is functioning. Inspect the cable for visible damage.

Intermittent connection or signal loss.

Ensure the coupling nuts on the M12 connectors are adequately tightened. Check for debris or corrosion on the connector pins and the mating port. Inspect the cable for any signs of stress or internal damage.

Cable is too stiff in cold temperatures.

While designed for industrial temperatures, extreme cold can affect flexibility. Ensure the cable is installed within its specified handling temperature range (-5°C to 80°C) during assembly. Permanent installation temperature is -40°C to 80°C.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable construction for industrial environments.
  • Reliable M12 connectivity ensures secure data and power transfer.
  • Halogen-free material enhances safety.
  • Pre-fabricated for quick and easy installation.
  • Good resistance to oils and chemicals due to PUR sheath.

Cons

  • Fixed 5-meter length may be too long or too short for some applications.
  • Specific M12 connector type might require compatible mating connectors.
  • Not suitable for applications exceeding 4A or 250V.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the mating M12 connectors on your sensor, actuator, and control system are compatible (4-pin, M12).
  2. Align the keyway on the male connector (box-side) with the slot on the female connector (field-side) to prevent damage during connection.
  3. Hand-tighten the coupling nut on the M12 connectors. Avoid using tools unless specified by the mating connector manufacturer, as overtightening can damage the threads.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard 4-pin M12 sensor/actuator applications.
  • The male connector (box-side) is typically used for connecting to PLC inputs or distribution boxes.
  • The female connector (field-side) is typically used for connecting directly to sensors or actuators.
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to +80°C (assembled).

Care:

  • Clean the connectors periodically with a dry, lint-free cloth. If necessary, use a mild cleaning agent suitable for plastics and electrical contacts, ensuring the cable is disconnected.
  • Inspect the cable sheath regularly for signs of damage (cuts, abrasions, chemical exposure).
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
