MPN: CBL-M8AM4-OP-5
Alt. SKU: CBLM8AM4OP5
Why Choose the Unitronics CBL-M8AM4-OP-5 M8 Sensor Cable?
The Unitronics CBL-M8AM4-OP-5 is a compact M8 A-coded industrial sensor cable designed for reliable device wiring in industrial automation systems. It features a 4-pin M8 A-coded male connector on one end and an open wire termination on the other, allowing direct connection to PLC inputs, distributed I/O modules or control panel terminals.
With a 5 metre cable length, the cable provides extended reach between machine-mounted sensors and automation control equipment. M8 connectors are widely used in industrial environments where space-saving connectors and vibration-resistant locking connections are required for dependable sensor communication.
The cable assembly is constructed using gold-plated brass contacts, a nickel-plated zinc die-cast coupling nut and a durable PVC outer jacket. These components ensure stable electrical performance and mechanical durability in demanding environments. The cable uses 4 × 24 AWG conductors and supports typical industrial ratings of around 3 A current and up to 60 V. When properly mated, the connector achieves IP67 protection, ensuring reliable operation in environments exposed to dust, vibration and moisture.
