Phoenix SAC-3P Series 3-pin Sensor Cables Selection Guide (0.3m–100m Full Length + M8MR Special Interface)

Phoenix SAC-3P series 3-pin sensor cables in this batch feature ultra-wide length coverage (0.3m to 100m), core focus on M8MR special male interface (for non-standard compact sensors), and dual sheath materials (PVC/PUR). They integrate enhanced attributes like double-layer shielding (-2L), high-flexibility (-SH), and structural suffixes (A-1L-Z/B-1L-Z) for narrow space/vibration adaptation, plus proprietary high-tensile cable series (600/116) and ultra-long 100m models for cross-workshop transmission. Interfaces cover M8FS/M8FR/M12FS/M12FR, suitable for industrial automation scenarios such as compact sensor docking, medium-distance workshop layout, and long-distance cross-site signal transmission.

1. Core Model Classification & Product Descriptions

Classified by cable length + core interface type (the most critical selection dimensions for this batch, with length spanning 0.3m–100m), key parameters include sheath material, enhanced attributes, and special cable series:

1.1 Ultra-short Distance (0.3m–3.0m) – Compact Equipment/Sensor Docking

For equipment internal wiring, adjacent sensor docking (narrow space, short transmission distance), core interface is M8MR special male (for non-standard compact sensors), matching M8FS/M8FR female; PVC for fixed wiring, PUR for mobile/harsh small-space scenarios.

1.2 Medium-long Distance (10.0m–25.0m) – Workshop Sensor Layout

The core length segment for on-site workshop sensor deployment (10m/12m/15m/20m/25m), matching mainstream M12 (FS/FR) and M8 (FS/FR) interfaces; rich enhanced attributes for high-interference/vibration/frequent bending scenarios, PVC for fixed long-distance, PUR for mobile long-distance.

1.2.1 10.0m (Mainstream Medium-distance, Most Abundant Models)

1.2.2 15.0m–25.0m (Long-distance Workshop/Cross-area Layout)

No M8MR special interface, core for M12 mainstream sensor long-distance deployment, only PUR sheath (adapt to long-distance mobile/harsh on-site scenarios).

1.3 Ultra-long Distance (100.0m) – Cross-workshop/Site Signal Transmission

For long-distance cross-workshop/cross-site sensor signal transmission, no female connector (custom terminal processing), core focus on wire gauge (0.25/0.34/0.5/0.75mm²) and high-flexibility (-SH) for long-distance laying/bending.

1.4 M8FS Fixed Interface Special Model

180° straight structure dedicated model, matching specific installation angle sensors, with 35/15 spec for different wire matching.

3. Core Advantages of This Batch of SAC-3P Series Cables

1. 0.3m–100m Full Length CoverageFrom ultra-short equipment internal wiring (0.3m) to medium-long workshop layout (10m–25m) and ultra-long cross-site transmission (100m), one-stop meets all industrial on-site installation distance needs.
2. M8MR Special Interface for Non-standard SensorsDedicated M8MR special male connector matches compact/non-standard miniaturized sensors that standard M8MS cannot adapt to, filling the gap for special sensor docking.
3. Dual Sheath + Rich Enhanced AttributesPVC for fixed low-cost wiring, PUR for mobile/wear-resistant/harsh scenarios; -2L shielding resists high interference, -SH high-flexibility adapts to frequent bending, structural suffixes fit narrow space, strong environmental adaptability.
4. High-performance Exclusive Cable Series600 (high-tensile)/116 (high-performance) series cables adapt to high-tensile laying, long-distance high-requirement transmission; ultra-long 100m models with multi-spec wire gauges match different power needs.
5. Full Interface CompatibilityCovers M8 (FS/FR/MR) and M12 (FS/FR) mainstream industrial sensor interfaces, supporting cross-interface docking and 180° fixed angle installation, matching most 3-pin sensor types.

4. Product Selection Suggestions

Step 1: Select by Installation Distance (Core Dimension for This Batch)

• Ultra-short (0.3m–3.0m, equipment internal/adjacent sensor): Choose M8MR special interface models (e.g., 1682061, 1415903) or universal short-length models (1400588).
• Medium-long (10.0m–25.0m, workshop/cross-area layout): 10m select the most abundant models (e.g., 1693034 M12FS, 1521740 M8FS-SH); 15/20/25m choose M12 interface PUR sheath models (e.g., 1693982, 1696536).
• Ultra-long (100.0m, cross-workshop/cross-site): Fixed wiring select PVC (1501825), mobile/frequent-bending select PUR-SH (1501702), high-power select thick wire gauge (1457416, 0.75mm²).

Step 2: Select by Sheath Material (Based on Application Environment)

• Fixed wiring, control cabinet internal, cost-sensitive: PVC sheath models (e.g., 1506532, 1403773, 1508417).
• Mobile equipment, oil-stained/harsh workshop, vibration, long-distance laying: PUR sheath models (all 20/25m, 100m PUR, 10m mobile models like 1694538).

Step 3: Select by Interface Type (Match Sensor Spec)

• Non-standard/compact miniaturized M8 sensor: Exclusive M8MR special male models (e.g., 1682045, 1681693).
• Standard M8 compact sensor: M8FS (straight, wide space) / M8FR (right-angle, narrow space) (e.g., 1694101, 1694169).
