Overview

The Mencom MDC-T-4MFPF-1M is a high-reliability M12 Micro-DC (T-style) cordset designed for industrial automation, control systems, and sensor networks requiring robust signal and power transmission. This 1-meter double-ended cable features a male straight M12 connector on one end and two female straight M12 connectors on the other, enabling efficient daisy-chaining of devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers. The 4-pole configuration supports 300V and 4A current rating, making it suitable for low-power applications including proximity switches, photoelectric sensors, and PLC I/O modules. Constructed with a durable yellow PVC jacket (5mm outer diameter) rated for -40°C to +105°C operation, the MDC-T-4MFPF-1M delivers exceptional mechanical strength and chemical resistance in harsh environments. The 22 AWG copper conductors provide balanced flexibility and durability, while the nickel-plated brass coupling nut ensures corrosion resistance and secure locking with a single keyway for quick installation and removal. The IP69 rating confirms suitability for washdown applications and environments exposed to dust, moisture, and high-pressure cleaning. This cordset is part of Mencom’s Micro-DC (M12) series, a trusted line of connectivity solutions manufactured in the USA. The T-style configuration (male-to-dual-female) is ideal for applications requiring a single input to power multiple outputs without additional splitters, reducing system complexity and installation time. Standard cable lengths include 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 15 meters, with custom lengths available upon request. For enhanced shielding in noisy environments, Mencom offers foil-shielded variants (MDCM-T-4MFPF-1M) to minimize electromagnetic interference.
