2. Cable Specification Parameter
   • X,0: Cable length in meters, covering ultra-short (1.5m) to ultra-long (100.0m) ranges, adapting to equipment internal wiring, short-distance field connection and ultra-long-distance signal transmission.
   • PVC/PUR/PURMC: Cable material
     • PVC: Cost-effective, suitable for dry indoor industrial environments.
     • PUR: Wear-resistant, oil-resistant, corrosion-resistant, ideal for harsh environments (outdoor, oil-stained workshops, vibration scenarios).
     • PURMC: Modified PUR material, with enhanced environmental adaptability for extreme harsh industrial scenarios.
   • 0,25: Wire gauge in mm², determining the current-carrying capacity of the cable, suitable for low-power 8-core signal transmission.
3. Interface Type Code
   • M8FS/M8FR: M8 standard female head / reverse female head, suitable for micro-equipment and compact sensor connection.
   • M12FS/M12FR: M12 standard female head / reverse female head, mainstream industrial interface, compatible with most sensors and actuators.
   • M16FR: M16 reverse female head, suitable for large-size interface equipment connection.
   • M/2XF: M male head matching 2 F female heads, realizing one-to-two device parallel connection.
4. Function & Configuration Suffix
   • SH: Shielding function, effectively reducing electromagnetic interference in industrial environments, suitable for high-precision signal transmission.
   • VP: Special configuration function, tailored for customized multi-signal control scenarios.
   • VA/NC: Contact type, VA is normally open, NC is normally closed, suitable for circuit safety control scenarios.
   • SCO/KU: Special customization suffix, adapting to non-standard equipment connection needs.
   • 542: Industry standard matching code, ensuring seamless connection with 542 series industrial equipment.
   • BK: Black appearance design, facilitating circuit identification in complex wiring environments.

3. Core Advantages of Phoenix SAC-8P & SAC-8PY Series Connectors

2. Flexible Cable Length & Material OptionsProvides cable lengths from 1.5m to 100.0m, adapting to equipment internal dense wiring, short-distance field connection and ultra-long-distance signal transmission; PVC/PUR/PURMC three material options match different environmental requirements.
3. Strong Anti-interference & Safety PerformanceModels with SH shielding function can suppress electromagnetic interference from industrial equipment (motors, frequency converters); VA/NC contact type models support circuit safety control, improving the stability and reliability of 8-core signal transmission.
4. Excellent Environmental AdaptabilityPUR/PURMC cable models have strong wear resistance, oil resistance and corrosion resistance, and can operate stably under high temperature, high humidity and vibration conditions, suitable for harsh industrial environments such as workshops and outdoor sites.
5. Strong Compatibility & Easy InstallationAdopts standard industrial interface design, compatible with Phoenix's mounting rails and terminal blocks; models with 542 standard matching code can seamlessly connect with 542 series equipment, realizing quick plug-in and replacement.

4. Product Selection Suggestions

1. Series & Interface Matching
   • For multi-device parallel connection scenarios: Select SAC-8PY series models with M/2XF one-to-two configuration.
   • For micro-equipment internal wiring: Choose M8FS/M8FR interface models (e.g., 1404189, 1404193).
   • For mainstream industrial sensor/actuator connection: Adopt M12FS/M12FR interface models (e.g., 1520372, 1522655).
   • For large-size interface equipment connection: Select M16FR interface models (e.g., 1693694, 1693681).
2. Cable Material & Length Selection
   • Material: Choose PVC cable models for dry indoor environments; select PUR cable models for general harsh environments; adopt PURMC cable models for extreme harsh industrial scenarios.
   • Length: Measure the actual distance between connected devices, select the cable length with a 10%-20% margin; choose 1.5-3.0m ultra-short cables for equipment internal wiring, 5-10m medium cables for field connection, and 100m ultra-long cables for ultra-long-distance signal transmission.
3. Function Suffix Selection Based on Scenarios
   • For high-interference signal transmission scenarios: Prioritize models with SH shielding function (e.g., 1522891, 1522888).
   • For circuit safety control requirements: Select models with VA/NC contact type (e.g., 1400389, 1402930).
   • For 542 series equipment connection: Choose models with 542 standard matching code (e.g., 1406082, 1406105).
   • For customized equipment connection: Adopt models with SCO/KU special configuration (e.g., 1406105, 1444225).
4. Cost Optimization SuggestionFor general non-critical 8-core circuits, select basic structure models without SH/VA/NC function suffixes (e.g., 1520372, 1404189) to reduce procurement costs; for key circuits, prioritize models with shielding and safety functions to ensure stable performance.
