Waterproof M12 4-Pin Male-Female Data Cable for Sensors HangTon 50m

Description

Product Overview

The Waterproof M12 4‑pin male‑female cable from HangTon Connect is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial automation. Constructed with a robust PVC jacket and a 22 AWG four‑conductor shielded wire, the cable provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) while maintaining flexibility for routing in tight spaces. Each of the four pins is individually soldered to color‑coded conductors—brown, white, blue, and black—ensuring consistent polarity and simplifying installation. The connector shell is directly bonded to the cable shield, creating a continuous grounding path that further reduces noise and enhances signal integrity. Rated for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V operation at up to 4 A, the cable can safely carry both data and low‑power supply signals across distances up to 50 meters, making it ideal for long‑run sensor networks, encoder feedback loops, and actuator control lines. The gold‑plated contacts resist corrosion and oxidation, delivering a reliable connection even in harsh environments where moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations are common.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial applications, this M12 cable excels in machine vision systems, robotic arms, and conveyor‑belt monitoring stations. It is perfectly suited for connecting SICK sensors, Kubler encoders, Kathrein RFID readers, Zebra FXR90 barcode scanners, and other field devices that rely on deterministic communication protocols such as DeviceNet, IO‑Link, Profibus, and CANopen. The 50‑meter length allows installers to span large plant floors without the need for intermediate repeaters, reducing both cost and system complexity. Because the cable is fully waterproof (IP67 rating) and resistant to oil and chemicals, it can be deployed in outdoor processing plants, food‑processing lines, and automotive assembly stations where exposure to liquids and contaminants is routine. The flexible PVC sheath also tolerates repeated bending, making it a practical choice for moving machinery where cables are subject to constant motion.

FAQ

What is the maximum current rating for this cable?

The cable is rated for up to 4 A continuous current at 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V, making it suitable for most sensor and actuator power requirements.

Is the cable compatible with standard M12 A‑coded connectors?

Yes, the cable uses the industry‑standard M12 A‑coded 4‑pin connector, which is interchangeable with other M12 devices from manufacturers such as SICK, Kubler, and Kathrein.

Can the cable be used for both data and power transmission?

Absolutely. The four conductors can be allocated for differential data signals, power supply, and ground, allowing combined data‑power applications in a single cable run.

What testing does HangTon perform on this cable?

Each production batch undergoes continuity testing, insulation resistance measurement, shielding effectiveness verification, and mechanical pull‑test to ensure compliance with IEC and MIL standards.

How does the shielding improve performance in noisy environments?

The braided shield is bonded to the connector shell, creating a continuous ground path that diverts external electromagnetic noise away from the signal conductors, resulting in more stable and accurate data communication.
