What's M12 B-coded Connector Cable

Update time : 2025-05-07 20:40:00

An M12 B-coded connector cable is a specialized type of industrial cable used for data transmission, primarily in industrial automation and control systems. Here's a detailed breakdown:

Key Features of M12 B-coded Connector Cable

1.Connector Type:

M12 refers to the metric size of the circular connector with a 12 mm locking thread. It's compact and robust, making it ideal for harsh environments.

B-coded indicates the pin arrangement inside the connector, specifically designed for fieldbus protocols like PROFIBUS and similar communication systems.

2.Applications:

Commonly used in PROFIBUS networks, a standard for industrial communication.

Ideal for data-intensive applications in factory automation, material handling systems, and machine tools.

3.Pin Configuration:

Typically features 4 pins or 5 pins with a specific arrangement to prevent misconnection.

Pinout is designed to support data signals while maintaining shielding to reduce interference.

4.Cable Properties:

Shielded to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Available in different lengths, jacket materials (e.g., PVC, PUR), and levels of flexibility to suit specific environments.

5.Durability:

Designed to handle rugged conditions such as vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes.

Often rated with an IP67 or higher ingress protection, making it dust-tight and water-resistant.

6.Connection Style:

Can be straight or right-angled for flexibility in installation.

Typically features screw-locking mechanisms for secure connections.

7.Standards Compliance:

Conforms to international standards like IEC 61076-2-101, ensuring compatibility and reliability.

Why Use M12 B-Coded Cables?

Ensures high-quality, interference-free data transmission.

Compact and robust design ideal for space-constrained or harsh environments.

Secure connection due to its locking mechanism, reducing the risk of disconnection in industrial settings.

If you're looking for such a cable, consider the specific protocol you're working with, the environment, and length requirements to select the appropriate model.
