DeLOCK sensor-/actorkabel 1,8 m M8 USB 2.0 Type-A zwart 64258

The DeLOCK sensor/actuator cable 1.8 m M8 USB 2.0 Type-A Black 64258 is an assembly designed to link industrial sensors and actuators to host devices with USB Type-A ports. With a straight M8 connector on one end and a USB 2.0 Type-A plug on the other, the cable provides a single-cable solution for data transmission and signal interfacing in factory automation, measurement and control systems. The black outer jacket and polybag packaging support simple handling and storage.

Advantages

This cable provides reliable USB 2.0 data transfer rates suitable for many sensor communications while offering the compact M8 connector commonly used in industrial environments. Its 1.8 m length balances reach and cable management, reducing the need for extensions in typical machine-room layouts. The black jacket offers standard protection against abrasion and simplifies visual integration with industrial equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting sensors to controllers or data loggers with USB Type-A inputs
• Interfacing actuators to host devices in automation setups
• Laboratory test rigs and measurement stations requiring a compact M8 connection
• Temporary installations and troubleshooting where a plug-and-play USB connection is needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Connector A: M8 circular connector (male)
• Connector B: USB 2.0 Type-A plug (male)
• Data standard: USB 2.0 signaling
• Cable colour: Black
• Packaging: Polybag

How to use

Ensure both the sensor/actuator and the host device are powered off before connecting. Insert the M8 connector into the sensor or actuator receptacle and secure it according to the device’s connector locking method. Plug the USB Type-A end into the host device’s USB 2.0 port. Power on the system and verify communication via the host software or diagnostic indicators. For safe removal, stop data transfers and disconnect power if required by the connected equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable away from moving machine parts and high-voltage power lines. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and keep the connection points dry. If used in long-term fixed installations, verify connector locking periodically and inspect the jacket for wear. Match the cable to devices that support USB 2.0 signaling and M8 interfacing to ensure compatibility.
