Overview

Mencom Corporation's Profibus PA cordset, SKU PBDC-4FPX-2M-SS, is a high-integrity M12 female straight cordset designed for Profibus PA fieldbus networks in process automation. This 4-pole cordset features a 2-meter shielded cable with 18 AWG conductors, rated for 4A at 300V, ensuring reliable signal transmission in demanding industrial environments. The cable is jacketed in durable orange PVC for visibility and UV resistance, with a foil shield and 22 AWG drain wire to minimize electromagnetic interference. The stainless steel coupling nut provides corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, meeting IP69 ratings for washdown and high-pressure applications. The M12 female straight connector is not shielded to the coupling nut, preserving signal integrity per Profibus PA specifications. With a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and a 7.2mm outer diameter, this cordset is engineered for rugged process automation, including Foundation Fieldbus MIN Size I (7/8 in) and MDC (M12) overmolded systems. The UNSPSC code 26121600 classifies this as a fieldbus communication cable, manufactured in Germany to Mencom's high-quality standards.
