Overview

Mencom CXL-PF socket inserts are part of the CXL series, designed for rugged industrial applications requiring fiber optic and low-power connectivity. These 6-pin, 10-amp crimp-style inserts integrate with CK-style hoods and bulkhead housings to deliver reliable, quick-disconnect solutions for industrial automation, robotics, and machinery control systems. The CXL-PF is manufactured in the US by Mencom Corporation, a globally recognized leader in heavy-duty industrial connectors. Key specifications include a 6-pin configuration, 10-amp current rating, and crimp termination for fiber optic applications. The inserts are designed for use with Mencom’s CK-style enclosures, ensuring compatibility with existing industrial connector systems. With no contacts included, users can select the appropriate contacts for their specific voltage and signal requirements. The CXL-PF is ideal for applications where fiber optic and low-power signals must coexist in a single connector, such as sensor networks, data acquisition systems, and control panels. The rugged design ensures durability in harsh industrial environments, including those with vibration, moisture, and temperature extremes.
