M8 4-pin female straight connection cable, PVC wire 2 m with open ends

M8 sensor cable, 2 m long, with a PVC jacket and a factory-moulded 4-pin straight female connector (socket, A-coded). The other end has open wires (flying leads) that connect directly to a terminal strip or input module – no soldering and no connector assembly. The socket screws onto the M8 plug of the sensor, and the cable leaves the connector along its axis.

Suitable sensors

For M8 sensors with a PNP or NPN output – with one output or with two outputs, NO and NC (in Nexotec sensors the NO output is on pin 4 and NC on pin 2).

Frequently asked questions

Is the cable shielded?
No, it is an unshielded cable.

Can it be used with an NPN sensor?
Yes. The wire colours and pin assignment are the same for PNP and NPN sensors.

What other lengths and versions are available?
Besides this version, we offer M8 4-pin cables with a socket in the following variants: straight PUR 5 m; straight PVC 5 m; angled PUR 5 m; angled PVC 5 m.

Is the connector sealed without tightening the nut?
No. IP67 applies only when the connector is mated and the coupling nut is tightened.
