Murrelektronik M8 and M12 A-coded sensor, signal and drag chain cables added by AutomationDirect

July 2, 2026, Cumming, Ga. — AutomationDirect as added more M8 and M12 4-pin A-coded sensor and signal cables from Murrelektronik.

The sensors and cables are designed to connect devices that use different connector sizes while maintaining standard 4‑pin wiring, helping eliminate rewiring, reduce installation time and minimize common wiring errors.

They are reportedly well-suited for applications across automotive manufacturing, food and beverage washdown areas, material handling systems and packaging and assembly equipment.

Select sensor/signal cable versions offer drag chain and robotic capabilities, featuring rugged PUR jackets and designs that withstand repeated flexing, tight bend radii and torsional stress caused by robotic movement.

These cables are ideal for moving machine components, multi‑axis automation and robotic cells where continuous motion and cable twisting are unavoidable, helping maintain reliable signal transmission and reduce unplanned downtime.
