Product Information
Full details
This Phoenix Contact Sensor Actuator Cable is designed for industrial automation applications, providing a reliable connection between sensors and actuators. Its key benefit is the robust, shielded Polyurethane (PUR) cable and IP65 protection, ensuring durability in demanding environments. A potential caveat is its fixed 5-meter length, which may require careful planning for installation.

FAQs
What does IP65 protection mean?
IP65 means the cable is protected against dust ingress (the '6') and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction (the '5').
Can this cable be used outdoors?
The PUR jacket and IP65 rating provide good environmental resistance. However, prolonged direct exposure to harsh UV or extreme weather conditions may still impact longevity. Always assess the specific environmental factors.
What is the significance of the 'A-coded' M12 connector?
A-coding is standard for DC sensors and actuators. It ensures correct pin assignment and prevents mismating with other M12 connector types (e.g., B-coded for industrial Ethernet, D-coded for fieldbus).
What is the conductor cross-sectional area?
The conductor cross-sectional area is 0.34 mm², which corresponds to 22 AWG.
Is the cable oil-resistant?
Yes, the Polyurethane (PUR) jacket is known for its excellent resistance to oils and chemicals commonly found in industrial environments.
What is the maximum voltage and current rating?
The cable is rated for a maximum of 24V and 4A.
Can I cut the cable to a shorter length?
While you can cut the cable, you will need to properly terminate the cut end yourself to maintain protection and ensure proper electrical connection. This process requires care and appropriate materials.
Troubleshooting
No signal received from sensor
Verify the wiring at the unterminated end. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly mapped to the M12 pinout. Check the M12 connection for debris and ensure it is fully seated.
Intermittent signal or noise
Confirm the cable is properly shielded and grounded. Ensure the M12 connector is fully tightened to maintain IP65 and electrical integrity. Check for nearby sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
Cable connector will not seat properly
Inspect the M12 male connector on the device and the female connector on the cable for bent pins or debris. Ensure the keying on the connectors aligns correctly.
Cable shows signs of wear or damage
Immediately replace the cable to prevent signal loss or failure. The PUR jacket offers good protection, but damage can compromise its integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and oil-resistant PUR cable jacket for extended lifespan.
- Shielded design ensures reliable data transmission by minimizing interference.
- IP65 rating provides protection against dust and water ingress.
- Right-angle connector facilitates installation in confined spaces.
- Suitable for a wide operating temperature range (-40 to 80 °C).
Cons
- Fixed 5-meter length may not be suitable for all applications, requiring extensions or alternative models.
- Unterminated end requires manual wiring, adding an installation step.
- Purple color may not integrate aesthetically with all existing infrastructure.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the wiring requirements for your sensor or actuator and the corresponding inputs/outputs on your control system or PLC.
- Connect the wires from the unterminated end of the cable to the appropriate terminals, ensuring correct pin assignment (refer to M12 pinout diagrams if necessary).
- Connect the M12 female connector to the corresponding male M12 port on your sensor or actuator. Ensure the connector is securely fastened.
Compatibility:
- This cable is designed for use with M12, A-coded, 5-pin male connectors.
- Suitable for sensors and actuators operating at up to 24V and 4A.
- The 0.34 mm² (22 AWG) conductor size is compatible with standard industrial control wiring practices.
Care:
- Clean the cable and connectors periodically with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect the cable jacket for any signs of damage, cuts, or abrasion. Replace if compromised.
- Ensure the M12 connector is always properly seated and secured to maintain its IP65 rating.
