The Pilz PSEN CABLE M12-8SF M12-8SM, 0.5 M is a precision-engineered industrial connection cable designed for short-run applications where secure, high-quality connectivity is critical. Part of Pilz’s extensive range of safety and automation cabling, this model combines compact size, robust connectors, and reliable electrical performance, making it ideally suited for use in safety-related circuits and automation systems.

This cable is equipped with 8-pin M12 straight female and straight male connectors, providing a high pin count for complex signal and low-power transmission needs. The design enables efficient integration into systems requiring multiple channels, such as safety devices, sensors, controllers, and actuators. By offering a direct female-to-male connection, the cable reduces the need for adaptors, ensuring strong and reliable links across Pilz devices and compatible equipment.

With a rated current of 2 A, the PSEN CABLE M12-8SF M12-8SM is well-suited for low-power signal transmission while still supporting reliable operation in control and monitoring applications. Its typical conductor resistance of 78 Ω/km ensures minimal signal loss across its short 0.5 m length, delivering efficient performance. The specific contact resistance of ≥ 1E+16 Ohm*cm provides exceptionally high insulation integrity, protecting against leakage currents and preventing interference that could affect sensitive safety circuits.

The cable is engineered for industrial resilience, designed to operate within an ambient temperature range of -25 °C to +80 °C. This versatility allows it to be deployed in environments ranging from cold storage to warm production areas without performance degradation. Additionally, the Pollution Degree 3 classification certifies its reliability in areas with moderate levels of conductive contamination, making it suitable for the majority of industrial applications.

The compact 0.5 m length makes this cable particularly useful for short-distance connections, such as within control cabinets, junction boxes, or between adjacent system modules. Its short reach eliminates unnecessary slack, promoting neat and organised installations that simplify both setup and maintenance.

Applications include safety switch connections, sensor integration, machine control wiring, and short-range automation links where both high pin density and compact installation are required. Its combination of robust electrical characteristics, compact size, and strong environmental resistance ensures system reliability while maintaining operator safety.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN CABLE M12-8SF M12-8SM, 0.5 M is a compact, durable, and high-integrity cable designed for industrial automation and safety systems. With its 8-pin M12 connector design, strong insulation resistance, and suitability for demanding environments, it delivers reliable performance in applications where precision and durability are essential.
