Sensor and Actuator Cables

Sensor/actuator cabling connects sensors and actuators to control systems, ensuring accurate data transmission and a reliable power supply for automation processes.

The most common connectors in sensor/actuator cabling are M8 and M12, known for their secure and reliable performance in demanding environments. Learn more about our Phoenix Contact M8 and M12 Cables Promotion.

Choosing the right sensor/actuator cable depends on your specific application needs. Consider these factors:

• Cable Length: What length of cable is required?
• Conductor Cross Section: What core/cross-section combination does your sensor need?
• Connector Shape: What connector combination is needed (e.g., M8, M12, straight, angled)?
• Shielded: Is shielding necessary for your application?
• Standards/Specifications: Is a certification like UL necessary?

Also, consider the mechanical and chemical requirements:

• IP Rating: Will the cable be moved or permanently installed?
• Cable Diameter: If the cable is moved, what is the bending radius?
• Resistance to Oil: Does the cable need to withstand oil or chemicals?
