Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this cable suitable for use in wet conditions?

A: Yes, when the connectors are fully mated and screwed together, the assembly achieves an IP67 rating, making it dust-tight and capable of withstanding temporary immersion in water.

Q: Can I cut and re-terminate this cable to a custom length?

A: This is a factory-molded cable. For reliability, we do not recommend cutting and re-terminating it. Please order the standard length you need.

Q: What is the difference between ‘axial’ and ’90-degree’ M12 connectors?

A: Axial (or straight) connectors come out in-line with the cable. 90-degree connectors bend at a right angle, which can be useful in tight spaces to save room.

Q: From a maintenance standpoint, what’s a common issue with these cables?

A: The most common issue is not tightening the screw lock enough, leading to intermittent connection faults from vibration. A firm hand-tightening is usually sufficient.

Q: Does the 4-pin configuration support both power and signal?

A: Yes, a standard 4-pin M12 connector is very versatile. It is commonly used to provide DC power (e.g., 24V on two pins) and carry a switched signal back on the other two pins for sensors.
