Industrial M12 Cable Assembly Manufacturing

As a specialized M12 cable assembly manufacturer, OurPCB delivers industrial circular connectors for factory automation and control applications. Our cable assembly expertise covers all M12 coding types (A, B, C, D, X, L) with IP67/IP68/IP69K environmental protection for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

M12 coding options match specific applications: A-coded for sensors and actuators (most common), B-coded for Profibus DP fieldbus, D-coded for 100 Mbps Industrial Ethernet, X-coded for 10 Gbps high-speed applications, and L-coded for high-power DC distribution. Proper coding prevents incorrect connections.

Applications include factory automation with PLCs and I/O modules, sensor and actuator cables for proximity and photoelectric sensors, Industrial Ethernet cables for Profinet and EtherCAT, machine vision cameras, and motion control servo systems.

Cable jacket options include PVC for economical general purpose, PUR for oil resistance and flexibility, TPE for halogen-free requirements, and silicone for high-temperature applications. Combined with M8 connectors for compact sensors, we offer complete industrial connectivity.

We manufacture M12-to-M12, M12-to-RJ45, M12-to-open-ended, and custom combinations. Robotics and automation integrators rely on our IP69K rated cables for wash-down environments. Contact us for M12 cable assembly quotes.

Common Questions

M12 Cable FAQ

We offer all standard M12 coding types: A-coded (sensors, general purpose), B-coded (Profibus), C-coded (AC power), D-coded (100 Mbps Ethernet), X-coded (Gigabit Ethernet), and L-coded (DC power). The coding ensures proper mating and prevents incorrect connections.

Our M12 cables are available with IP67, IP68, and IP69K ratings when mated. IP67 provides dust-tight and temporary water immersion protection. IP68 provides continuous submersion protection. IP69K provides protection against high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down.

Yes, we manufacture M12 cables with various termination combinations: M12 to M12, M12 to M8, M12 to RJ45, M12 to open-ended, and M12 to custom connectors. We can provide the specific combination your application requires.

We offer M12 cables with various jacket materials: PVC (economical, general purpose), PUR (oil resistant, flexible), TPE (flexible, halogen-free), and silicone (high temperature). Material selection depends on environmental conditions and flexibility requirements.
