Weather-resistant insulation makes this cable suitable for outdoor use and direct burial without conduit.

18-gauge wire is often used for sprinkler systems.

16-, 14-, and 12-gauge wire is designed for underground, low-voltage lighting equipment, such as landscape lighting. The wires can be separated for installation.

Servomotor Continuous-Flex Cable

Shielded

Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion, Interference Shielding, Motors
Continuous Flex
Temperature Range: -40° to 175° F
Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: Polypropylene Plastic

Connect servocontrollers and servomotors in automated equipment and on assembly lines. This cable withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. The polyurethane rubber insulation resists abrasion and oil. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Cable with signal wires is also known as feedback cable. It sends and receives signals between a servomotor and a PLC.

Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.

Micro M12 Screw-Together Connectors

Use these connectors with 12 mm proximity switches, valves, and power supply units. They have a standardized pole layout so they can be quickly connected or replaced. All are rated IP67 for protection from washdown environments.

A-code connectors, primarily used in Europe, send signal and power to automated systems and Profibus systems.

Sockets and female receptacles may have extra holes on the face that are not used.

Caps (sold separately) protect connectors when not in use.
