The Pilz PDP67 CABLE M12-8SM, 10 M – 380702 is a high-quality cable and connector assembly designed to deliver reliable connectivity in industrial automation and safety applications. As part of the Pilz PDP67 accessory range, this cable provides secure connections for safety sensors, switches, and decentralised modules, ensuring stability and reliability in demanding machine environments.

The cable comes preassembled with a robust M12 8-pin male connector (8SM), ensuring secure, vibration-resistant connections that comply with industrial standards. The M12 interface is widely used in automation because of its compact design, reliable locking mechanism, and suitability for both power and signal transmission. With a length of 10 metres, the cable offers ample reach for installations requiring longer routing between devices and control cabinets, reducing the need for extension connections and improving reliability.

From an electrical perspective, the cable is engineered for high performance and durability. With a rated current of 2 A, it provides sufficient capacity for transmitting signals and low-power devices. The conductor resistance of 79 Ω/km demonstrates efficient electrical transfer, while the specific contact resistance of ≥ 7 × 10¹⁵ Ω·cm ensures excellent insulation, preventing leakage currents and supporting safety compliance. In addition, the specific conductor capacity of 64.6 pF/m ensures minimal signal distortion, making it highly suitable for communication with sensitive safety systems.

The ambient temperature range of -25 °C to +80 °C ensures that the cable can withstand a variety of industrial conditions, from cooled production areas to warmer factory floors. This temperature resilience, combined with its robust construction, makes it a dependable choice for installations that demand durability and continuous operation.

Designed with Pilz’s high quality standards, the PDP67 CABLE M12-8SM simplifies installation by offering a plug-and-play solution, reducing wiring errors and speeding up commissioning. The use of preassembled connectors eliminates the need for time-consuming field wiring, making it especially beneficial for maintenance, retrofits, or system expansions.

Typical applications include connecting Pilz PDP67 decentralised I/O modules, safety switches, light curtains, and other PSEN safety devices. Its combination of robust design, reliable electrical performance, and convenient preassembly ensures secure integration into safety and automation architectures.

In summary, the Pilz PDP67 CABLE M12-8SM, 10 M – 380702 is a durable, preassembled industrial cable offering secure and efficient connectivity. With its M12 8-pin male connector, strong electrical characteristics, reliable insulation, and broad operating temperature range, it provides engineers and system integrators with a dependable solution for extending and maintaining high-performance connections in industrial safety and automation systems.
