The Omron XS3W-M422-402-PR Extension Cable is designed for industrial automation systems that require dependable M8 connectivity while optimizing cable routing in confined installation spaces. By combining a right-angle M8 female connector with a straight M8 male connector, this cable assembly allows sensors and field devices to be connected without placing unnecessary stress on the connector interface.
Featuring a durable PUR oil-resistant robot cable, the Omron XS3W-M422-402-PR Extension Cable is suitable for applications involving repetitive movement, cable carriers, and environments where oils or mechanical abrasion are present. Its factory-molded construction also helps maintain consistent sealing performance throughout long-term operation.
Technical Description
This model is part of the Omron XS3 waterproof connector series developed for industrial automation equipment. The cable includes four electrical contacts using the standard M8 connection system that is widely adopted for compact sensors, actuators, and distributed automation devices.
The right-angle female connector is particularly useful where installation depth is limited. Instead of extending directly outward, the cable exits at a 90-degree angle, allowing more efficient routing inside compact machinery and reducing cable bending immediately behind the connector.
Working Principle
The extension cable transfers electrical power and signal communication through four conductors while preserving the standard M8 wiring configuration. Both molded connectors are equipped with threaded locking mechanisms that securely fasten the connection and help resist vibration commonly encountered in industrial equipment.
When connected to compatible M8 devices, the sealing structure provides IP67 protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion, supporting reliable operation in demanding production environments.
Typical Applications
- Photoelectric sensors
- Inductive proximity sensors
- Capacitive sensors
- Machine automation systems
- Packaging equipment
- Assembly machinery
- Robot peripheral devices
- Distributed I/O installations
Industrial Applications
Automotive Production Lines
Compact sensors installed on welding fixtures and assembly stations often require angled cable exits to avoid interference with tooling and moving equipment.
Packaging Automation
The cable enables efficient sensor connections inside machines where available installation space is limited by guards, conveyors, or mechanical components.
Robotic Systems
The flexible PUR cable performs well in robotic applications that involve continuous cable movement while maintaining reliable electrical connectivity.
Material Handling Equipment
Conveyor-mounted sensors positioned near structural frames benefit from the low-profile cable routing made possible by the right-angle connector design.
