Phoenix SACB Series Industrial Pre-Assembled Cables Selection Guide

Opening: Reliable Pre-Assembled Connectivity for Industrial Automation & Sensor Networks

The Phoenix SACB series represents industrial-grade pre-assembled cables engineered for seamless connectivity in automation systems, sensor/actuator networks, and industrial control applications. Covering diverse configurations—multi-core power/signal combinations (e.g., 16X0.5/3X1.0), fixed-interface connections (M12/M8/M16), straight-through cables, and specialized variants (QO-coded, heavy-duty HD)—these cables feature durable PUR/VPUR jackets, flexible core counts (8/10/12/16-core), precise wire gauges (0.34mm²–1.0mm²), and industrial-grade shielding. Designed for harsh factory environments, machine-to-control cabinet wiring, and high-vibration applications, they ensure plug-and-play deployment, reliable signal/power transmission, and long-term durability.

I. Core Advantages of the Series

  1. Structural Diversity for Targeted Applications

    • Multi-core power/signal integration: Combinations like 16X0.5/3X1.0 (16 signal cores + 3 power cores) for simultaneous signal transmission and power supply, eliminating separate wiring;
    • Fixed-interface flexibility: M12/M8/M16 connector combinations (e.g., M12-M8, M16-M8) for direct sensor/actuator-to-controller connections;
    • Length versatility: 5m–200m coverage, from cabinet-internal short links (5m) to cross-workshop long-distance wiring (200m);
    • Specialized variants: Heavy-duty (HD) for vibration-prone environments, QO-coded for industrial Ethernet, and PTP (point-to-point) for dedicated device links.

  2. Industrial-Grade Durability & Environmental Resistance

    • Jacket materials: PUR (polyurethane) for oil, abrasion, and chemical resistance; VPUR (weather-resistant PUR) for outdoor or extreme-temperature use;
    • Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C, suitable for harsh indoor/outdoor industrial conditions;
    • Shielding (SH suffix): Braided shielding suppresses EMI/RFI interference from inverters, motors, and power lines, ensuring signal integrity;
    • Robust connectors: Gold-plated contacts with ≥10,000 mating cycles, IP67 protection (when mated) against dust and moisture.

  3. Plug-and-Play Efficiency & Installation Ease

    • Pre-assembled, factory-terminated design eliminates on-site stripping, crimping, and testing, reducing installation time by up to 80%;
    • Tool-free locking mechanisms (twist-lock) for secure, quick connections;
    • Color-coded or coded connectors (QO) for error-free identification and mating;
    • Compatibility with Phoenix and third-party industrial sensors, PLCs, and actuators.

  4. Precise Performance Matching

    • Wire gauge options (0.34mm²/0.5mm²/0.75mm²/1.0mm²) for targeted current-carrying capacity (0.34mm² for signal, 1.0mm² for power);
    • Core count combinations (8/10/12/16-core) to match multi-channel sensor/actuator requirements;
    • Heavy-duty (HD) construction for mechanical stress resistance in drag chains or mobile equipment.

II. Product Classification & Detailed Parameter Table

The series is categorized by functional type (Multi-Core Power/Signal Cables, Fixed-Interface Cables, Straight-Through Cables, Specialized Cables) with sub-variants based on core count, wire gauge, length, interface, and special features.
