Adapter cables

-- Packaging Digest, 12/1/2007

The co. introduces AS-Interface Flat-to-M12 adapter cables, which are available in straight or 90-deg M12 head angles with single or dual flat cable configurations in lengths of 0.3, 1, 2, or 5 m. The flat cable is a significant feature of the interface, and these cable accessories simplify and speed the connection of I/O devices, which serve as intelligent sensors, emergency-stop switches and modules to the AS-Interface. They also facilitate the simple connection of junction boxes and panels to the trunk line, as well as power supplies and AS-Interface scanners to the bus, the co. says.
