Sensor-/actorkabel PHOENIX-CONTACT 1683484, 10 m, PUR-mantel

PHOENIX-CONTACT sensor/actuator cable, 10 m length with a polyurethane (PUR) jacket, is designed for reliable signal and power transmission between sensors, actuators and control equipment in industrial installations. The cable has four conductors, a halogen-free PUR outer sheath in black-gray (RAL 7021) and a straight M8 socket at one end with the other end free for custom termination. Constructed for flexible routing and mechanical resistance, this cable is suitable for fixed installation and limited-motion applications in automated production and machine control environments.

Advantages

The polyurethane (PUR) jacket provides enhanced abrasion resistance, oil and coolant resistance and long service life in industrial environments. Four-conductor construction allows combined signal and low-power supply in a single cable. The halogen-free outer sheath reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, and the straight M8 connector ensures convenient, standardized connection to sensors and actuators. The 10 m length simplifies cabling in larger machines or distributed sensor networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors and limit switches to controllers
• Powering and signaling to actuators and small solenoids
• Wiring in conveyor systems, robotic cells and assembly lines
• Use in environments requiring flexible, wear-resistant cabling with limited motion

Key specifications

• Connector: straight M8 socket (one end)
• Other end: free cable for termination
• Designed for signal and low-power transmission between sensors and actuators
• Suitable for fixed and limited-motion industrial applications

How to use

Route the cable from the controller or distribution point to the sensor or actuator, avoiding sharp edges and tight bending radii. Connect the straight M8 socket to the mating sensor or actuator port and terminate the free end according to the device wiring diagram, observing conductor color codes and insulation stripping lengths. Secure the cable with appropriate clamps or cable ties and ensure connectors are tightened to the recommended torque. Verify function by checking sensor signals and actuator response before placing the system into continuous operation.

Recommendations

For longest service life, avoid repeated flexing beyond the manufacturer's specified bend radius and keep the cable away from high-temperature sources and aggressive chemicals not compatible with PUR. Use strain relief at connection points and follow device wiring guidelines to prevent miswiring. Choose cable routing that minimizes mechanical wear and protects the free end during installation and maintenance.
