Whizz data between devices with this sensor actuator cable from Belden. It has M12 connectors – one straight male, one right-angled female – to make easy links. Gold-plated bronze contacts carry signals without a hitch, getting automated equipment the information it needs. Don't worry about accidents pulling the plug, as this cable's coupling screw and nut hold on tight through movement. Harsh environments are no problem for the PUR sheath, which shrugs off cuts and abrasion.
