Multi-conductor cables for assembly of cordsets in the field
Phoenix Contact offers several types of multi-conductor cables as an accessory to field-wired cable connectors. General applications include assembly of sensor/actuator cordsets with M12 connectors, M8, and Micro ½-inch. Various cable jackets include PVC, PUR irradiated, PUR/PVC, PUR halogen-free, and TPE.
PUR irradiated has excellent immunity to welding sparks and is resistant to low/high temperature and UV exposure. It is characterized by extremely long service life and provides good flexibility (over 5 million bend cycles). Applications include welding robots, rugged temperatures, and C-track.
PUR/PVC provides good resistance to chemicals, oils, and lubricants. The insulation is easy to strip and prepare for field wiring. It is ideal for high-stress minimal resistance to abrasion/wear environments and provides good flexibility (over 2 million bend cycles). Applications include machine tool, packaging machines, assembly machines and metal cutting machines. The outer jacket is conducive to paint or varnish coating.
PUR halogen-free is commonly used in industrial environments. It provides extremely good resistance to chemical, oils and lubricants, as well as high flame and wear/abrasion resistance, and has good flexibility (over 4 million bend cycles). The Phoenix Contact standard black PUR is UV-resistant. Applications include permanently flexing control cables; drag chains; rotary and swiveling tables. The outer jacket is conducive to paint or varnish coating.
TPE is highly flexible (over 10 million bend cycles), high flame- and high temperature-resistant and provides good immunity to welding sparks. It provides extremely good resistance to oils, chemicals, lubricants, coolants and other aggressive materials. The material is recyclable and halogen- and PVC-free. Applications include C-track, robotics, mobile equipment, automated handling equipment, pick-and-place assembly, machine tool and other continuous flexing movements.
