Within the M12 cable assembly range, additional options include screening and LED indication. Panel mount products are offered with a choice of solder cup or PCB termination. For rewiring on site, a range of field serviceable connectors are provided, while Y adaptors facilitate the simple splitting of control signals. All products offer a minimum of IP67 protection.
