High IP protection makes it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EVC258 provides a secure connection between compatible M8 and M12 devices. Its straight connector design allows convenient installation and cable routing. Gold-plated contacts help maintain stable electrical performance. It is suitable for sensors, actuators and industrial control equipment.
The cable uses flexible PUR material with a robust TPU connector housing. FKM sealing provides additional protection against environmental exposure. The nickel-plated brass locking mechanism provides a secure connection. Its construction is designed for demanding industrial applications.
The EVC258 provides IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection. It is suitable for environments exposed to dust, water, oils and coolants. The cable can operate from -25°C to 90°C. It is also suitable for applications involving repeated movement.
The cable is designed for flexible industrial applications and drag-chain use. It supports a minimum bending radius of 10 times the cable diameter. It can withstand more than 5 million bending cycles. This makes it suitable for moving machinery and automated production systems.
