The flexible cordsets’ gray PUR jacket is welding slag-resistant, so that it can flex, bend and twist during the manufacturing process. It is halogen-, silicone- and cadmium-free, and resistant to acids, alkaline solutions and solvents.  The sensor/actuator cables (SACs) are useful where cables need torosional and bending strength beyond standard PUR cable material.  The M12 connectors feature a zinc die-cast coupling nut and are available in 3-, 4- and 5-position. The cordsets provide IP65/68/69K protection.
