Weidmüller 1004311000 SAIL-M12GM12W-4-2L10T Sensor-Actuator Cable
The Weidmüller 1004311000 SAIL-M12GM12W-4-2L10T is a 10 metre preassembled M12 sensor-actuator cable designed for longer industrial routing paths where a standardized and field-ready cable assembly is preferred over custom on-site termination. It combines a straight 4-pole A-coded M12 male connector with a 90° 4-pole A-coded M12 female connector including LED indication. This cable is positioned for demanding automation applications that require reach, routing flexibility, and consistent connector quality across larger machines or more distributed system layouts.
Why the 10 metre version is strategically important
Longer M12 cable assemblies are especially useful in equipment where the control point and the field device are physically separated by machine length, enclosure layout, or line architecture. A 10 metre cable can remove the need for intermediate joins or improvised extensions, which helps reduce complexity and preserve signal path integrity. The Weidmüller 1004311000 SAIL-M12GM12W-4-2L10T sensor-actuator cable is therefore highly relevant in conveyors, transfer systems, modular production cells, robotics support infrastructure, and field I/O layouts where long but standardized runs are needed.
Weidmüller 1004311000 Technical features
The product data identifies this cable as a 4-pole unshielded M12 / M12 connection line with a straight male connector and an angled female connector with LED. The product family is built to IEC 61076-2-101 and uses moulded tested plug-in connectors. The connectors are described with IP69 protection, which supports relevance in harsh industrial conditions. Electrical data on the product page includes a nominal voltage of 24 V and insulation resistance of 10^8 ohms, reinforcing its role in industrial sensor and actuator wiring.
Weidmüller 1004311000 Material and field performance perspective
The T-version is described as resistant to welding sparks, and the family pages indicate a black PUR sheath. That matters in applications where cables are exposed to abrasion, repeated movement, or hostile nearby processes. A preassembled 10 metre cable also helps maintenance teams because replacement is straightforward and connector quality is known in advance. Instead of relying on custom assembly in the field, users can install a repeatable part with predictable connector geometry and performance.
Where this cable fits best
This Weidmüller cable is well suited to long sensor and actuator runs in automation lines, welding-related industrial zones, large machinery, and distributed field wiring systems. It is especially attractive when standardization, long reach, and easy replacement all matter.
