The Pilz PSEN CABLE M8-8SF M8-8SM, 1 M is a high-quality industrial cable designed to provide short, secure, and reliable connections in automation and safety systems. With a length of 1 metre, it is particularly well-suited for applications where devices such as safety switches, sensors, or controllers are located in close proximity. Its compact size ensures a tidy cabling layout, reduces slack, and simplifies integration within control cabinets or compact machinery.

The cable is engineered for robust electrical performance, supporting a rated current of 1.5 A, which makes it suitable for signal transmission and low-power applications. Its conductor resistance of 140 Ω/km ensures efficient current flow, while the specific contact resistance of ≥ 7E+15 Ω·cm provides excellent insulation and prevents leakage currents. The specific conductor capacity of 57.5 pF/m further enhances signal integrity by minimising noise and interference, ensuring stable communication even in electrically noisy environments.

Built for use in demanding industrial conditions, the PSEN cable offers a wide ambient temperature operating range of -40 °C to +80 °C. This makes it suitable for diverse applications, from cold storage environments and refrigerated systems to high-temperature industrial settings. The durability of the materials ensures consistent performance under fluctuating conditions, extending service life and reducing maintenance needs.

Connectivity is delivered through its 8-pin M8 connectors, one female (M8-8SF) and one male (M8-8SM), ensuring compatibility with Pilz safety devices as well as standardised automation components. The M8 connector system is widely recognised in industrial automation for its compact size and secure locking mechanism, providing vibration-resistant performance even in dynamic or high-vibration environments such as robotics, conveyors, and automated handling systems.

The cable’s short length and robust design make it especially suitable for panel-to-device connections, sensor-to-controller wiring, and auxiliary connections where reliability is paramount. By reducing the need for excess cabling, it contributes to cleaner installations and reduced cable management complexity, which in turn enhances system efficiency and serviceability.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN CABLE M8-8SF M8-8SM, 1 M (533156) is a compact yet durable cabling solution that offers excellent electrical characteristics, extended environmental resilience, and secure M8 connectivity. With its short length, high insulation properties, and wide operating temperature range, it provides a reliable and efficient solution for modern automation and safety applications where precision and durability are key.
