DeLOCK anturi-/toimilaitekaapeli 1,8 m M12 USB 2.0 Type-A musta

The DeLOCK sensor/actuator cable 1.8 m M12 USB 2.0 Type-A Black is a connection cable designed to link industrial sensors or actuators with equipment featuring a USB Type-A port. With a length of 1.8 m and a robust M12 connector on one end paired with a USB 2.0 Type-A plug on the other, this cable facilitates data transfer and signal communication in factory automation, test benches, and machine control setups. The cable is supplied in a polybag for straightforward handling and storage.

Advantages

The cable combines an industrial-grade M12 circular connector with a USB 2.0 Type-A interface to provide a dependable signal path between field devices and host systems. Its 1.8 m length offers flexibility in routing while limiting excess slack in machine cabinets. The black jacket provides basic abrasion and dirt resistance suitable for typical industrial environments. The simple plug-and-play USB Type-A termination enables easy connection to common controllers, PCs, or data acquisition units without additional converters.

Suitable for

• Connecting M12-equipped sensors or actuators to USB-enabled controllers or computers
• Laboratory test setups and prototyping where robust field connectors are required
• Machine automation lines and panel connections with limited cable length requirements
• Temporary installations and service operations requiring quick attach/detach

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Connector A: M12 circular connector (male/female depends on device mating requirements)
• Connector B: USB 2.0 Type-A plug
• Data interface: USB 2.0 compatible for full-speed and low-speed device communication
• Color: Black jacket
• Packaging: Supplied in polybag

How to use

Ensure both the sensor/actuator and the host device are powered off before connecting to avoid unintended signals. Align and attach the M12 connector to the corresponding mating connector on the field device, securing any locking nut as required. Insert the USB Type-A plug into the host port. Power the system and verify that the host recognizes the connected device; install any required drivers or configure the host interface if necessary. For disconnection, power down equipment where possible and reverse the steps to remove the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments within the manufacturer’s specified temperature and humidity ranges and avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals or mechanical strain. Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and tension; use strain reliefs or cable ties as needed. For long-term or permanently exposed installations, consider cables with higher ingress protection or reinforced jackets.
