Anturi-/toimilaitekaapeli PHOENIX CONTACT 1681897, 5 m, PUR-vaippa

PHOENIX CONTACT 1681897 is a 5 m sensor/actuator cable designed for signal and control connections in industrial automation. The cable features a flexible polyurethane (PUR) jacket that is halogen-free and offers good resistance to abrasion, oils and mechanical stress. It is supplied with a free cable end and an angled M8 socket, with four conductor positions and a black-gray RAL 7021 outer sheath suitable for exposed machine and field cabling.

Advantages

The PUR jacket ensures improved flexibility and long service life in dynamic applications while remaining resistant to common industrial contaminants. A halogen-free outer sheath reduces toxic gas emissions in case of fire and helps meet stricter safety requirements. The angled M8 socket simplifies installation in confined spaces and the free cable end allows direct connection to control equipment or junction points.

Suitable for

• Sensors and actuators in factory automation
• Field wiring and machine tool connections
• Applications requiring abrasion- and oil-resistant cabling
• Installations with limited space where an angled M8 connector is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Conductor count: 4 positions
• Jacket material: PUR (polyurethane), halogen-free
• Outer color: black-gray (RAL 7021)
• Connector: angled M8 socket and free cable end

How to use

Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and excessive bending radii; secure with appropriate clamps or cable ties to prevent wear. Connect the angled M8 socket to the corresponding device socket and terminate the free cable end to the control unit or terminal block following standard wiring diagrams and polarity markings. Verify correct pin assignment and continuity before applying power to the system.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid repeated bending at one point and keep the cable away from sources of high heat or strong chemicals not compatible with PUR. Inspect connectors and sheath periodically for abrasion or damage and replace the cable if insulation is compromised. Use appropriate strain relief when routing through panels or enclosures.
