Opening: High-Reliability Industrial Wiring Solutions – One-Stop Part Number & Model Reference

In industrial automation, sensor/actuator interconnection, and heavy-duty equipment wiring scenarios, pre-assembled cables with precise conductor matching, robust interfaces, and environment-adaptable materials are critical for stable signal/power transmission. The Phoenix SACB series expands its 8/8 (high-current), 8/16 (signal+power), and 6-series (multi-conductor combinations) product lineup, featuring diverse conductor specifications, flexible connection types, and industrial-grade PUR materials. With shielded (SCO) anti-interference design, NPN signal compatibility, and multi-interface  (M8/M23/SC/PT/GG), these cables are widely used in factory automation, heavy machinery, and compact equipment wiring. This guide integrates part number-model correspondence, core technical parameters, and scenario-specific recommendations to simplify selection and procurement, helping you quickly lock in optimal wiring solutions.

I. Core Advantages: Why Choose the Phoenix SACB Series (8/8, 8/16, 6-Series)?

• Diverse conductor configurations: Covers 8/8 (dual 8AWG high-current), 8/16 (8AWG power + 16AWG signal), 6Q/4P (6+4 core), 6/6 (dual 6AWG), 6/3 (6+3 core), 6/12 (6+12 core) to meet power, signal, and mixed transmission needs.
• Industrial-grade durability: PUR material (oil-resistant, wear-resistant, -40°C to +80°C operating temperature), IP67 protection (depending on interface), suitable for harsh factory floors and outdoor environments.
• Stable transmission performance: Shielded (SCO) variants suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), NPN signal compatibility for sensors/actuators, ensuring reliable data/power transmission.
• Flexible connection options: Straight (L) and angled (C) connectors, M8/M23/SC/PT/GG interfaces, and lengths (5.0m/10.0m/20.0m) adapt to compact control cabinets, heavy machinery, and long-distance wiring.
• Ready-to-use convenience: Pre-wired, crimped, and tested at the factory, eliminating on-site wiring errors and reducing installation time by up to 60%.

III. 3-Step Quick Selection Technique (Easy for Beginners)

Step 1: Select Conductor Configuration Based on Transmission Needs

• High-current (power + signal): 8/8 AWG (e.g., motors, heavy-duty actuators) → 1452699, 1452521.
• Mixed power + signal: 8/16 AWG (8AWG power + 16AWG signal) → 1680788.
• Multi-channel integration: 6/12 AWG (6 power + 12 signal) → 1452958, 1692048.
• Compact equipment: 6/3 AWG + M8 interface (space-saving) → 1503425.
• Dual-medium current: 6/6 AWG (dual 6AWG) → 1671234.
• Custom core combination: 6Q/4P (6+4 core) → 1662942.

Step 2: Confirm Connection Type & Length

• Connection type:
  • Straight (L): General installation, unobstructed space → 1452699, 1680788.
  • Angled (C): Compact cabinets, tight spaces → 1452783, 1452835.
  • Interface: M8 (micro-devices) → 1503425; M23 (heavy machinery) → 1692828; SC (standard) → 1680788; PT/GG (special) → 1412059, 1516755.
• Length:
  • Short-distance (≤5m): 5.0m models → 1452699, 1517042.
  • Medium-distance (5-10m): 10.0m models → 1452709, 1517055.
  • Long-distance (10-20m): 20.0m model → 1403264.

Step 3: Select Special Functions

• Shielding: High-interference environments (near motors/inverters) → shielded (SCO) → 1517165, 1516810.
• Signal type: NPN sensors/actuators → NPN-suffix models → 1405737, 1537116.
• Polarity: Need polarity distinction → P-suffix models → 1452699, 1452835.
• Coding: Anti-misplug requirements → GG coding → 1516755.

IV. Recommended Industry-Scenario Combinations (Ready-to-Use)

V. Selection Pitfall Avoidance Guide (Common Mistakes to Note)

1. Conductor gauge mismatch: High-current equipment (＞10A) using 6/12 or 8/16 models → Select 8/8 AWG (1452699) for sufficient current-carrying capacity (max 30A for 8AWG).
2. Interface incompatibility: M8-equipped sensors using M23/SC cables → Confirm device interface (M8/M23/SC) before selection (e.g., 1503425 for M8).
3. Ignoring shielding needs: High-interference environments using unshielded cables → Choose SCO-suffix models (1517165) to prevent signal distortion.
4. Signal type error: NPN sensors using non-NPN cables → Select NPN-suffix models (1405737, 1537116) for compatibility.
5. Length selection errors: Overly long cables (＞20m) causing voltage drop → Use 20.0m model (1403264) for long distances, avoid exceeding 30m for high-current transmission.
6. Space constraint neglect: Compact cabinets using straight cables → Opt for angled (C) models (1452783, 1452835) to avoid cable bending damage.
7. Coding neglect: GG-coded equipment using standard cables → Choose GG-suffix model (1516755) to prevent misplug.

Conclusion: Select the Right SACB Cable for Reliable Industrial Wiring

The Phoenix SACB 8/8, 8/16, and 6-series cables provide versatile solutions for high-current, mixed power/signal, and multi-channel wiring needs, with flexible conductor configurations, interfaces, and functional options adapting to heavy machinery, compact equipment, and long-distance transmission scenarios.
