Phoenix Contact SAC-5P- 5 Sensor/Actuator Cable, 5 m, PUR Jacket

The Phoenix Contact SAC-5P- 5 sensor/actuator cable is a professional-grade connectivity solution engineered for demanding industrial automation environments. This 5-meter cable features a robust 5-position configuration with an A-coded M12 angled socket on one end and a free cable end on the other, facilitating flexible installation in control cabinets and machinery. The high-quality PUR halogen-free jacket in black-gray RAL 7021 provides superior protection against mechanical wear, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term operational reliability.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional durability due to its polyurethane construction, which maintains flexibility even in challenging industrial settings. The halogen-free material ensures safety in case of fire, while the A-coded M12 interface guarantees a secure and standardized connection for signal transmission. Its angled connector design is particularly beneficial for space-constrained applications, allowing for clean cable routing and reduced strain on the connection point, which ultimately contributes to a more organized and reliable automation system.

Suitable for

• Connecting proximity sensors to PLC input modules
• Linking actuators to control units in automated production lines
• Industrial robotics and assembly equipment
• Applications requiring high mechanical resistance and chemical durability

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for use in high-temperature environments exceeding the manufacturer's specified thermal limits or in applications requiring continuous high-speed motion, such as drag chains with very tight bending radii. It is also not suitable for outdoor installations exposed to direct, prolonged UV radiation without additional protective measures.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Number of positions: 5
• Connector type: M12 socket, angled
• Coding: A-coded
• Jacket material: PUR (halogen-free)
• Color: Black-gray (RAL 7021)
• Termination: Free cable end

How to use

To install the cable, route the free end through your cable management system toward the terminal block or controller. Strip the outer insulation carefully to expose the internal conductors and connect them according to your wiring diagram. Secure the angled M12 socket onto the corresponding sensor or actuator port by tightening the coupling nut by hand until firm. Ensure the cable is properly supported to prevent excessive tension on the connector.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the pin count and coding (A-coded) match your existing sensor or actuator interface.
• Check if the 5-meter length is sufficient for your specific installation path.
• Ensure the angled connector orientation fits within your available mounting space.
• Confirm that the environmental conditions do not exceed the technical specifications of the PUR jacket.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the cable jacket for signs of abrasion or chemical degradation in high-traffic areas. Ensure that the M12 connection is kept clean and free of debris to maintain optimal signal integrity.
