Overview

The Mencom CXL-SM (SKU: CXL-SM) is a 6-pin male rectangular insert designed for robust industrial connectivity, specifically for fiber optic and electro-optical interfaces. Manufactured by Mencom Corporation in the US, this insert is part of the CXL series, known for its integration with rugged CK-style enclosures to provide quick-disconnect solutions. The CXL-SM supports a 10 Amp current rating and is compatible with 14-16 AWG wire, ensuring reliable power and signal transmission in demanding environments. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately; for 14-16 AWG wire, use MCVH-MR-PIN-16 male crimp pins. This insert is ideal for applications in factory automation, robotics, and sensor networks where secure, vibration-resistant connections are paramount. Installation is facilitated by crimp termination, ensuring long-term reliability. For proper crimping, the CCPZ-MIL crimp tool and MCTP-VH6-8 crimp tool locator are required and must be ordered separately. The CXL series offers a combined fiber optic and electrical connectivity solution within a single ruggedized package, simplifying system design and enhancing operational efficiency. Its design prioritizes ease of installation and maintenance, making it a practical choice for industrial settings.
