Sensor Actuator M12 A Coded 4‑Pin Male Female Cable 3m HangTon

Description

Product Overview

The HangTon Sensor Actuator M12 A‑coded 4‑pin male‑female extension cable is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliable data exchange and signal integrity are paramount. Constructed with a 22 AWG, four‑conductor shielded wire, the cable features a robust PVC jacket that protects against abrasion, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Each conductor is color‑coded—brown, white, blue, and black—to simplify wiring and maintenance, while the gold‑plated contacts provide low‑resistance connections and long‑term corrosion resistance. The M12 A‑coded connector system adheres to IEC standards, delivering a secure, waterproof (IP67) interface that safeguards the cable from dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. Available in a range of lengths from 2 m to 100 m, the cable can be tailored to fit a variety of machine layouts, reducing the need for additional splicing or adapters. Its compact form factor and lightweight design (approximately 5.93 oz per 3 m) make it easy to route through tight spaces, cable trays, and conduit systems without compromising performance.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of automation applications, this M12 A‑coded cable excels in connecting sensors, actuators, and control modules within DeviceNet, CANopen, IO‑Link, and Profibus networks. It is ideal for factory automation lines, robotic cells, and process control systems where high‑speed data transfer and deterministic communication are required. The cable’s shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring clean signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments such as motor drives, inverter stations, and high‑current power distribution panels. Its versatility also extends to vision systems, where precise timing and synchronization between cameras and lighting units are critical. Whether deployed in a cleanroom for semiconductor manufacturing or in a rugged assembly line for automotive production, the cable’s durability and consistent performance make it a trusted choice for engineers seeking dependable connectivity.

FAQ

What is the difference between M12 A‑coded and other M12 coding types?

M12 A‑coded connectors are specifically designed for sensor and actuator applications, offering a secure, keyed interface that prevents mismating with other coding types such as B, C, or D. The A‑code provides a reliable, low‑profile connection ideal for high‑speed data exchange in industrial networks.

Can this cable be used for high‑current power transmission?

No, the cable is optimized for signal and data transmission with a 22 AWG conductor size. For high‑current power applications, a cable with a larger gauge and appropriate power rating should be selected.

Is the cable compatible with both DeviceNet and CANopen protocols?

Yes, the cable’s shielded construction and standardized M12 A‑coded connectors support both DeviceNet and CANopen, providing reliable communication across these widely used fieldbus protocols.

How does the shielding improve performance in noisy environments?

The cable’s foil and braid shielding encases the four conductors, reducing electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment. This shielding maintains signal integrity, minimizes data errors, and enhances overall system reliability.

What warranty does HangTon provide for this cable?

HangTon offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Customers can also access extended warranty options and comprehensive support packages through HangTon’s sales channels.
