Phoenix Contact 1404199 Sensor/Actuator Cable, M12 Plug to Open End, 4-Pin, A-Coded, Shielded, PUR, 1.5 m

Industrial environments demand reliable signal transmission despite constant motion, vibration, and exposure to oils and chemicals. This Phoenix Contact sensor/actuator cable solves that challenge by providing a robust, shielded connection between M12-equipped sensors or actuators and control systems. With a 4-pin A-coded M12 plug on one end and a free cable end on the other, it offers flexible installation while maintaining a secure, IP67-rated link when mated. The 1.5-meter length is ideal for connecting devices in tight spaces or for short runs within machinery.

Who is it for

Automation engineers, panel builders, and maintenance technicians who need dependable connectivity for sensors, actuators, and field devices in factory automation, robotics, and process control. It is especially suited for applications where cables are subject to frequent flexing, exposure to cutting fluids, or electromagnetic interference.
