    M12 Cords

    These cords run the automated world, from robot arms and photoelectric sensors to PLCs and IO-Link devices. The original metric circular cord, they continue to be the standard today. They screw together tightly to protect against contaminants and hold firm against high vibration. Each one has a coding that indicates a unique keyway, preventing mismated connection errors before they happen. The coding also tells you whether a cord can send power, control, or both, reducing the need for multiple cords.

    Shielded

    Shielded—Shielding blocks electrical noise from motors, drives, and other equipment, preventing erratic readings, false triggers, and data errors that cause downtime. Use these connectors near high-interference sources or anywhere with shielded cable, such as fieldbus networks, sensors, and encoders.
