TE Connectivity M12 Fieldbus Cable Assemblies
TE Connectivity's (TE) A- and B-coded M12 Fieldbus Cable Assemblies comply with Profibus, DeviceNet, and CC-link protocols, offering multiple options for various needs. The cable assemblies feature 360° shielding against EMI for complete signal and data transmission protection and are rated IP67 for resistance to dust and water. The assemblies are over-molded in either PVC or halogen-free polyurethane (PUR) cables, which are suitable for drag chain applications or torsional stress, depending on customer performance requirements.
TE’s Fieldbus M12 cable assemblies are available as single-ended or double-ended in straight and angled versions, all shielded variants. Various cable types are offered depending on application requirements; all can be combined with TE’s male/female connectors. Assemblies are produced in many customer-specific plug-and-play configurations to enable design flexibility and quick installation in most industrial environments. Ideal applications lie in numerous areas of industry, including process control systems, robotics and automation, production equipment, machine tools, and material handling.
