2TLA020056R5400 ABB M12-C1612 16m Cable M12-5 Female + Male

Why Choose the ABB 2TLA020056R5400 M12-C1612 Cable?

The ABB 2TLA020056R5400 is an M12-C1612 16 m connection cable with straight M12 5-pole female and male connectors, designed for compatible ABB industrial machine-safety equipment. Part of the ABB safety accessory range, it provides a factory-assembled double-ended M12 connection for applications requiring a substantial cable run between compatible safety devices.

The M12-C1612 uses a shielded 5 × 0.34 mm² black PVC cable with a straight M12-5 female connector at one end and a straight M12-5 male connector at the other. Its conductors are colour-coded brown, white, blue, black and grey, while ABB specifies that the cable shield is connected to pin 3 (0 V) on the male connector.

With a 16 m cable length, 24 V supply rating and IP67 degree of protection, the 2TLA020056R5400 provides a robust plug-and-play solution for extending compatible M12-5 safety connections. Its pre-terminated construction simplifies installation, maintenance and replacement work while eliminating the need to assemble connectors in the field.

Key Advantages

• Factory-assembled 16 m M12 connection cable for extended machine wiring runs.
• Pre-terminated with M12 5-pole female and male connectors.
• Straight connector configuration at both cable ends.
• 5 × 0.34 mm² conductors with shielded cable construction.
• Shield connected to pin 3 (0 V) on the male connector.
• IP67 protection supports use in industrial environments.
• Female-to-male configuration provides convenient extension of compatible M12-5 connections.
• Factory-fitted connectors reduce installation time and eliminate field termination at either end.

16-Metre M12 Extension Connectivity for Safety Systems

The female-to-male configuration of the ABB M12-C1612 provides a convenient way to extend compatible M12-5 connections without installing field-attachable connectors. Its 16 m length bridges the gap between shorter standard connection cables and 20 m versions, making it useful where machinery layout requires substantial reach without unnecessary excess cable.

The five conductors connect pin-to-pin between the female and male M12 interfaces, while the cable shield is connected to pin 3 on the male side. Combined with the robust moulded connectors and IP67 protection, this makes the M12-C1612 suitable for compatible ABB safety sensors, connection boxes and other machine-safety equipment requiring reliable M12-5 connectivity.

Typical Applications

• ABB machine-safety sensor connections.
• ABB OCB connection box sensor cabling.
• Extension of compatible M12 5-pole connections.
• Machine guarding and interlocking systems.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Robot and automation safeguarding systems.
• Packaging, processing and material-handling equipment.
• Long cable runs between compatible machine-mounted safety devices.
