Why Choose the ABB M12-C103 10 m Connection Cable?
The ABB M12-C103, reference 20-056-40 and order code 2TLA020056R4000, is a 10 m shielded M12 connection cable designed for industrial safety and automation equipment. Part of the ABB safety accessories range, it features a straight M12-8 female connector and a free cable end, providing a practical connection between compatible field devices and control equipment.
The M12-C103 incorporates eight 0.34 mm² conductors plus shielding within a black PVC cable. Its eight-pole configuration supports compatible ABB safety devices that require additional signal and control connections beyond those available from standard five-pole M12 cabling.
With a fixed cable length of 10 m, a 24 V rated voltage and robust M12 connectivity, the M12-C103 is suitable for machine-safety installations where field equipment is positioned away from the control cabinet. The connector provides IP67 protection, with ABB product information also specifying IP69K protection for the connected cable assembly.
