The 8-pin circular connector supports simultaneous mixed signal and power transmission, making it indispensable for applications requiring high stability—such as industrial automation, outdoor lighting, and sensor networks. With its durable construction and universal compatibility, this harsh environment cable ensures uninterrupted operation in humid, dusty, or outdoor settings, empowering equipment performance and safety.
Key Features
Superior IP67/IP68 Protection
The IP67 IP68 protection rating guarantees complete dustproofing (IP6X) and waterproofing—IP67 resists temporary submersion (up to 1m for 30 minutes), while IP68 supports long-term underwater immersion (over 1m, depth customizable). The dustproof M12 connector and underwater resistant cable prevent particle intrusion and water damage, ensuring reliable performance in extreme environments.
8-Pin Mixed Transmission Capability
The 8-pin circular connector is designed for mixed signal and power transmission, supporting data rates up to 100Mbps and voltage up to 60V. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple cables, simplifying wiring layouts and reducing installation costs. It is ideal for applications requiring synchronized power supply and data transfer, such as industrial sensors and automation controllers.
Robust & Durable Construction
Crafted with a robust circular interface made of high-strength brass (nickel-plated) and high-quality sealing materials (silicone rubber), the cable withstands mechanical stress and extreme temperatures. The jacket material (PVC or PUR) offers excellent wear resistance and flexibility, ensuring easy installation even in tight spaces.
Vibration & Corrosion Resistance
The vibration resistance (up to 10g, 10-2000Hz) and corrosion resistance (against salt spray, chemicals, and humidity) make it suitable for heavy machinery, marine equipment, and outdoor installations. The connector’s locking mechanism provides a secure fit, preventing disconnection due to vibration or shock.
Wide Industrial Compatibility
The industrial automation connector is compatible with standard M12 mounting interfaces and industrial protocols (Profinet, Ethernet/IP, Modbus). It works seamlessly with sensor network connection devices, mechanical equipment cable systems, and outdoor lighting fixtures, making it a versatile solution for cross-industry applications.
